Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of consilience on teaching science and the effectiveness of consilience on teaching science supported with visual arts in developing some primary stage pupils’ visual thinking skills and the attitude towards the relation between science and arts. The study has provided insights on how teaching science supported with visual arts was influenced pupils’ visual thinking skills of science content and how visual arts shape pupils’ learning attitudes to increase pupils’ academic achievement. The study has utilized aspects to consilience (unity of knowledge) theory, which is a special form of integration. Primary stage pupils, came from homogeneous background in terms of different education systems in Egypt, have been participated.The results shows the correlation between achievement and attitudes towards science and arts is (0.454), the correlation between achievement and visual thinking skills is (0.483), and the correlation between attitudes towards science and arts, and visual thinking skills is found to be (0.408). So, it could be advocated that consilience on teaching science supported with visual arts could contribute in promoting visual thinking skills and attitudes towards the relation between science and arts. Implications of the study science curriculum might get benefits of the Sci-Visual Art education and to support science content with consilience may be presented as an appropriate method for teaching science.
