Abstract
This article looks at a project that was interested in pedagogical practices in science literacy in secondary schools with a focus on new media technologies and teachers as change agents who will be able to make transformation in schooling and learning in Malaysia. Teachers' views on dominant practices are explored to reveal the difficulties and implications in approaching science literacy in schools. The ‘Learning by Design’ model is introduced to these teachers, who then set out to design a set of modules that can enhance teaching and learning in schools. The project has encouraged the development of new pedagogical practices and multimodal skills and provided new kinds of relationships to be built among the community of teachers, researchers and students.
