Research Abstract |
After analyzing the present official biology curriculum for the secondary level, we concluded that it is difficult for the students to acquire the ability to grasp comprehensively many familiar biological phenomena under the present biology curriculum. Our research project was organized to develop an innovative biology curriculum under which secondary level students will be able to acquire the ability hoped for. Our curriculum is built up from three approaches to comprehensive understanding of biological phenomena. One is the spatial point of view, i.e. and environmental aproach. This is presented through the use of certain modules, for example, "A dry laboratory set of the water quality estimation method using diatoms" or "Culturing seaweeds using artificial seawater". Another is the periodical point of view. It deals with phenomena of a certain duration. This is also presented through the use of certain modules, for example, "Using Planaria in laboratory exercises" or "Lymnaea is a suitable organism for observing morphogenesis and development". The other is the multidirectional point of view. This is taught through the multipurpose use of certain organisms and simplification of certain experimental methods or apparatus. It includes the use of certain modules, for example, "Study of the nervous system using a simple nerve staining method","Glenuroides larva is a convenient material for studying animal behavior" or "Determination of respiratory and photosynthetic rate using a simplified Productmeter".
