1.0 IntroductionThis Biology syllabus is a revised version which has been prepared to replace that of 1996. The revision process has been focused on change in paradigm from that of content based curriculum to a competence based curriculum. Moreover, the revision was inevitable due to the fact that the 1996 syllabus did not sufficiently consider the current social, cultural, global, technological, subject biases and cross cutting issues taking place world wide but particularly in Tanzanian society.

In addition, the revision has also taken into consideration the requirements for the Secondary Education Development Plan (SEDP). This syllabus has been introduced for implementation January 2007.

6.0 The Structure and Organization of theSyllabusThis Biology syllabus has a slightly differen tstructure and organization compared to that of 1996. The current syllabus content has been organized into seven (7) columns instead of four(4). The columns consist of the Topic, Sub-topic,Specific Objectives, Teaching and Learning resources, Assessment and the Number of Periods. This content is preceded by classcompetences and class level objectives for each Form.

6.1 Class Level Competences Competences have been stated fore each class level of Biology course. Competences are skills, knowledge and attitudes attained by the learner after learning process.

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

6.3 TopicsThe topics have been derived from the class level competences and objectives. Topics have been arranged to attain logical order starting from the simple to complex. Both block and spiral arrangements of topics have been adopted.

6.4 Sub-topicsEvery main topic in the syllabus is divided into several sub-topics. The sub- topics are organized sequentially and presented based on conceptual development of the learners.

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

6.7 Teaching and LearningMaterialsTeaching and learning resources 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 arises.

6.8 AssessmentAn assessment shows what and how to assess students with regard to the required knowledge, skills and attitudes to be developed for each specific objectives and respective set of teaching/learning strategies.

6.9 Number ofPeriodsNumber of periods is an estimated time to be used to teach a given topic/sub- topic. Each period is 40 minutes. The numbers of periods have been taken into account the time needed to adequately cover the sub-topic. Sometopics need more time than others depending on the nature and weight of the topic. The teacher is advised to make maximum use of time allocated in classroom in struction. Lost instructional time should always be compensated for.
