2002; Dean, 2003; Burton and Brundrett, 2005; Wellcome Trust, 2015). Although a science leader must have sufficient subject knowledge, the progress the subject makes does not reflect solely on the content knowledge, but also the level of knowledge about how to raise the standards of teaching and learning within the field (Bishop and Lunn, 2002).

Rationalism and Empiricism ; focussing on Rationalism When we do somethings whose results are known to us, like throwing an object in the air, so we know that it will fall back on the ground, How can we say this? Is it because we’ve seen things fall if we toss them up in the air or is it because of us learning some laws of physics ( the gravitation law ) The above example shows Empirisicm and Rationalism in the respective cases. This has been a famous argument in philosophy for a long time.…

Science and religion are two of the most powerful forces in the world known to date and have coexisted in time forever but have always disagreed.
