How can reform be accomplished? This book presents information and expert views from curriculum developers, teachers, and others, offering suggestions about major issues in biology education: what should we teach in biology and how should it be taught?

Download or read book Teaching Secondary School Biology written by Emmanuel Toili and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first edition of the book that focuses on equipping the pre-service and the practicing teachers of biology with the current knowledge and skills in biology education. The book is a response to the demand for such a book by practicing teachers, teacher trainees, and trainers in secondary school biology education.The book targets students training to become biology teachers at the Diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The book will also be a useful resource material for practicing teachers of biology in secondary schools and quality assurance officers and teacher trainers in universities and colleges. The book is based on the premise that potential teachers of biology are fairly well grounded in the various courses in botany and zoology, which provide more advanced biological knowledge than what is prescribed in the syllabi for secondary schools. The teachers are therefore required to adopt the advanced knowledge to suit the students in secondary schools. This requires the teachers to use professional approaches that facilitate the learning of biology notwithstanding the advanced biological knowledge on the ground. This book is about how we can help learners understand and appreciate the science of life.The book is presented in a simple, clear and Standard English language augmented with diagrammatic illustrations, pictures, and tables that are intended to motivate the reader. The book has also several tasks and exercises to get the readers to reflect on what they read and to further extend their knowledge. In addition, the book provides a summary of the information at the end of each chapter to help the reader recapitulate the content of the chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are students today not learning biology, appreciating its importance in their lives, or pursuing it as a career? Experts believe dismal learning experiences in biology classes are causing the vast majority of students to miss information that could help them lead healthier lives and make more intelligent decisions as adults. How can we improve the teaching of biology throughout the school curriculum? Fulfilling the Promise offers a vision of what biology education in our schools could beâ€"along with practical, hard-hitting recommendations on how to make that vision a reality. Noting that many of their recommended changes will be controversial, the authors explore in detail the major questions that must be answered to bring biology education to an acceptable standard: how elementary, middle, and high-school biology education arrived at its present state; what impediments stand in the way of improving biology education; how to properly prepare biology teachers and encourage their continuing good performance; and what type of leadership is needed to improve biology education.
