Teaching Secondary School Biology by Emmanuel Toili,Mary Esther Toili,William Toili Pdf

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.

High-School Biology Today and Tomorrow by National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Commission on Life Sciences,Committee on High-School Biology Education Pdf

Biology is where many of science's most exciting and relevant advances are taking place. Yet, many students leave school without having learned basic biology principles, and few are excited enough to continue in the sciences. Why is biology education failing? 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? How can we measure results? How should teachers be educated and certified? What obstacles are blocking reform?

Teaching Secondary School Biology for Social Relevance by G. Rex Meyer Pdf

Since the 1960's biology teaching in secondary schools has been transformed from a formal approach reflecting the structure of the discipline and mirroring the concerns of the scientific community to a broad-based approach reflecting the concerns of society as a whole. The aim of biology education today is to heighten awareness, improve students' self-image, understand the applications of biology in daily living, and promote participation in societal decision making in areas such as science policy and in other socially significant matters with a basis in biology. This book attempts to review aspects of this transformation and to describe exemplars and case studies of curriculum trends, teaching methods, and assessment procedures which reflect the transformation. Chapters include: (1) "Challenges for Biology Education"; (2) "Curriculum Themes"; (3) "Curriculum Structures"; (4) "Biology For General Education"; (5) "Selection of Curriculum Themes and Structures for General Education"; (6) "Meeting Immediate Personal Needs"; (7) "Meeting Immediate Community Needs"; (8) "Developing Needs-Biology Topics with a Future Orientation"; (9) "Continuous Assessment"; (10) "Assessing Cognitive Achievement"; (11) "Assessing Attitudes, Interests, and Values"; (12) "Assessing Manual Skills"; (13) "The Issue of Public Examinations"; (14) "School Facilities and Resources"; (15) Facilities and Resources Outside the School"; (16) "Curriculum Development"; (17) "Design of Learning Material"; and (18) "Teacher Development."
