Holistic Science Teaching: Going beyond Naroow Curiosity to Big Questions in the Classroom.
Holistic Science Teaching seeks to enable teachers to teach science in a manner connected with History, Philosophy, Ethics, and Religion (and the broader Humanities) and to do so properly.
Holistic Science Teaching is now an international movement. Started in 2019 by Professors, Scholars, and Thought leaders from World Science Collaborative Ltd (UK), LUMS SBASSE, The Aga Khan University – IED, and American University of Sharjah (UAE), among others, the Holistic Science Teaching Fellowship has produced 350+ Teachers and 35 Master Trainers from Pakistan, Indonesia, and Algeria. After the pilot in Jan 2026, Holistic Science Teaching is now a self-paced MOOC where Teachers can learn in their own time and evaluate themselves through a video observation powered by AI. Thus, Teachers can learn@scale and receive instant reliable evaluation and feedback helping them to improve their teaching.
SCIENCE IS ALL ABOUT CURIOSITY! We enable Teachers (and students) to move beyond providing simple answers – instead training them how to ask Big Questions that science alone cannot answer.
