1.0 Introduction Background Information

This Biology syllabus is a revised version which has been prepared to replace that of 1997. The revision process has been focusing on change of paradigm from that of content based to a competence based curriculum where the student is the main actor and the teacher is the facilitator. The student uses prior knowledge and experience to acquire new knowledge and skills by cooperating with others. In addition, this syllabus also takes into consideration current global changes, and the current social needs and demands. Moreover some basic content of the cross cutting issues have been integrated in relevant topics in this syllabus.

2.0 Aims and Objectives of Education in TanzaniaThe general aims and objectives of education in Tanzania are to:a) guide and promote the development and improvement of the

personalities of the citizens of Tanzania, their human resources and effective utilization of those resources to bringing about individual and national development;

b) promote the acquisition and appreciation of the culture, customs and traditions of the people of Tanzania;

c) promote the acquisition and appropriate use of literacy, social, scientific, vocational, technological, professional and other forms of knowledge, skills and attitudes for the development and improvement of the condition of man and society;

6.0 Organization of the Subject SyllabusThis syllabus has a slightly different structure and organization compared to that of the 1996. The current syllabus content has been organized into six (6) columns namely; Topic and Sub – Topic, Specific Objectives, Teaching and Learning Strategies, Teaching and Learning Resources, Assessment and the Number of Periods. This content is preceded by class level competences and class level objectives for each form.

6.1 Class Level CompetencesClass Level Competences have been derived from the general subject competences and objectives. Competences have been stated for each class level of Biology course.

6.2 Class Level ObjectivesClass Level Objectives have been derived from class level competences. They are stated in general terms to indicate the scope of content to be covered within each level.

6.3 Content MatrixThe content matrix include topic/subtopic, specific objectives, teaching and learning strategies, teaching and learning resources, assessment and number of periods.

6.3.1 Topics/Sub-topicsThe topics have been derived from the class level competences and objectives. Topics have been arranged in a logical order starting from simple to complex ones. The subtopics have been arranged to attain logical order and facilitate learning.

6.3.2 Specific ObjectivesThere are specific objectives suggested for every subtopic in the syllabus. These are benchmarks upon which the teacher targets to tailor his/her instruction to enable learners to meet the prescribed knowledge, skills and attitudes spelt out in each objective. The specific objectives are instructional contents that the teacher should use to operationalize the teaching and learning process for respective topics in the syllabus. The specific objectives also provide bases for assessment of learners’ achievements.

vii

6.3.3 Teaching and Learning StrategiesThese are activities of the teacher and learners during the teaching and learning process of a particular subtopic. The teaching and learning strategies are focussed to ensure achievements of the respective specific objectives under each subtopic. However, caution is given that teachers should not adopt wholesale all the suggested teaching and learning strategies. They can formulate others in addition or replace some according to existing realities in their environment. Teachers are also advised to use participatory teaching and learning strategies as much as possible to help learners to demonstrate self esteem, confidence and assertiveness.

6.3.4 Teaching and Learning ResourcesThey include non consumable teaching aids and materials as well as consumable materials. The teaching and learning resources are those which are to be used during the teaching and learning process for each respective subtopic. Teachers can improvise teaching and learning resources other than those suggested in the syllabus where need arise.

6.3.5 AssessmentAn assessment guide is given to teachers in the sixth column. It shows what and how to assess students with regard to the required knowledge, skills and attitudes to be developed for each specific objective and respective set of teaching/learning strategies.

6.3.6 Number of PeriodsColumn seven constitutes the suggested number of periods per each subtopic. The number of periods has been taken into consideration the length of the subtopic to be taught. Teachers are advised to strictly adhere to the framework of the allocated time so that teaching does not lag behind. Lost instructional time should always be compensated without fail.

7.0 Instructional TimeThis syllabus is to be covered in two (2) academic years having approximately 194 instructional days per year including two weeks reserved for midyear and annual examinations. The number of periods for teaching this syllabus is ten (10) periods of forty (40) minutes each per week. The teacher is advised to make maximum use of time allocated for classroom interaction.
