PREFACE
The aspiration of the nation to become an industrialisedsociety depends on science and technology. It is envisagedthat success in providing quality science education to
Malaysians from an early age will serve to spearhead thenation into becoming a knowledge society and a competitiveplayer in the global arena. Towards this end, the Malaysianeducation system is giving greater emphasis to science andmathematics education.
The Biology curriculum has been designed not only to provideopportunities for students to acquire science knowledge andskills, develop thinking skills and thinking strategies, and toapply this knowledge and skills in everyday life, but also toinculcate in them noble values and the spirit of patriotism. It ishoped that the educational process en route to achievingthese aims would produce well-balanced citizens capable ofcontributing to the harmony and prosperity of the nation andits people.
The Biology curriculum aims at producing active learners. Tothis end, students are given ample opportunities to engage inscientific investigations through hands-on activities andexperimentations. The inquiry approach, incorporatingthinking skills, thinking strategies and thoughtful learning,
should be emphasised throughout the teaching-learningprocess. The content and contexts suggested are chosenbased on their relevance and appeal to students so that theirinterest in the subject is enhanced.
In a recent development, the Government has made adecision to introduce English as the medium of instruction inthe teaching and learning of science and mathematics. This
measure will enable students to keep abreast ofdevelopments in science and technology in contemporarysociety by enhancing their capability and know-how to tap thediverse sources of information on science written in theEnglish language. At the same time, this move would alsoprovide opportunities for students to use the English languageand hence, increase their proficiency in the language. Thus, inimplementing the biology curriculum, attention is given todeveloping students ability to use English for study andcommunication, especially in the early years of learning.
The development of this curriculum and the preparation of thecorresponding Curriculum Specifications have been the workof many individuals over a period of time. To all those whohave contributed in one way or another to this effort, may I, onbehalf of the Ministry of Education, express my sinceregratitude and thanks for the time and labour expended.

INTRODUCTION
As articulated in the National Education Policy, education inMalaysia is an on-going effort towards developing the potential ofindividuals in a holistic and integrated manner to produce
individuals who are intellectually, spiritually, emotionally andphysically balanced and harmonious. The primary and secondaryschool science curriculum is developed with the aim of producingsuch individuals.
As a nation that is progressing towards a developed nation status,Malaysia needs to create a society that is scientifically oriented,progressive, knowledgeable, having a high capacity for change,forward-looking, innovative and a contributor to scientific andtechnological developments in the future. In line with this, there is aneed to produce citizens who are creative, critical, inquisitive, open-minded and competent in science and technology.
The Malaysian science curriculum comprises three core sciencesubjects and four elective science subjects. The core subjects areScience at primary school level, Science at lower secondary leveland Science at upper secondary level. Elective science subjectsare offered at the upper secondary level and consist of Biology,Chemistry, Physics, and Additional Science.
The core science subjects for the primary and lower secondarylevels are designed to provide students with basic scienceknowledge, prepare students to be literate in science, and enablestudents to continue their science education at the upper secondarylevel. Core Science at the upper secondary level is designed toproduce students who are literate in science, innovative,and able to apply scientific knowledge in decision making andproblem solving in everyday life.
The elective science subjects prepare students who are morescientifically inclined to pursue the study of science at post-secondary level. This group of students would take up careers in
the field of science and technology and play a leading role in thisfield for national development.
For every science subject, the curriculum for the year is articulatedin two documents: the syllabus and the curriculum specifications.The syllabus presents the aims, objectives and the outline of thecurriculum content for a period of 2 years for elective sciencesubjects and 5 years for core science subjects. The curriculumspecifications provides the details of the curriculum which includesthe aims and objectives of the curriculum, brief descriptions onthinking skills and thinking strategies, scientific skills, scientificattitudes and noble values, teaching and learning strategies, and
curriculum content. The curriculum content provides the themes,learning areas, learning objectives, suggested learning activities,the intended learning outcomes, notes and vocabulary.
AIMS
The aims of the biology curriculum for secondary school are toprovide students with the knowledge and skills in science andtechnology and enable them to solve problems and make decisions
in everyday life based on scientific attitudes and noble values.
Students who have followed the biology curriculum will have thefoundation in biology to enable them to pursue formal and informalfurther education in science and technology.

SCIENTIFIC SKILLS
Science emphasises inquiry and problem solving. In inquiry andproblem solving processes, scientific and thinking skills are utilised.Scientific skills are important in any scientific investigation such asconducting experiments and carrying out projects.
Scientific skills encompass science process skills and manipulativeskills.
Science Process Skills
Science process skills enable students to formulate their questionsand find out the answers systematically.
Descriptions of the science process skills are as follows:
Observing Using the sense of hearing, touch, smell, tasteand sight to collect information about an objector a phenomenon.
Classifying Using observations to group objects or eventsaccording to similarities or differences.
Measuringand Using
Making quantitative observations usingnumbers and tools with standardised units.

Numbers Measuring makes observation more accurate.
Inferring Using past experiences or previously collecteddata to draw conclusions and explain events.
Predicting Stating the outcome of a future event based onprior knowledge gained through experiences orcollected data.
Communicating Using words or graphic symbols such as tables,graphs, figures or models to describe an action,object or event.
Using Space-TimeRelationship
Describing changes in parameter with time.Examples of parameters are location, direction,shape, size, volume, weight and mass.
Interpreting Data Giving rational explanations about an object,event or pattern derived from collected data.
DefiningOperationally
Defining concepts by describing what must bedone and what should be observed.
ControllingVariables
Identifying the fixed variables, manipulatedvariable, and responding variable in aninvestigation. The manipulated variable ischanged to observe its relationship with theresponding variable. At the same time, thefixed variables are kept constant.
Hypothesising Making a general statement about therelationship between a manipulated variableand a responding variable in order to explain anevent or observation. This statement can betested to determine its validity.
Experimenting Planning and conducting activities to test acertain hypothesis. These activities includecollecting, analysing and interpreting data andmaking conclusions.
Manipulative Skills
Manipulative skills in scientific investigation are psychomotor skillsthat enable students to:
? use and handle science apparatus and laboratory substancescorrectly,
? handle specimens correctly and carefully,? draw specimens, apparatus and laboratory substances
accurately,? clean science apparatus correctly, and
? store science apparatus and laboratory substances correctlyand safely.
THINKING SKILLS
Thinking is a mental process that requires an individual to integrateknowledge, skills and attitude in an effort to understand theenvironment.
One of the objectives of the national education system is toenhance the thinking ability of students. This objective can beachieved through a curriculum that emphasises thoughtful llearning.Teaching and learning that emphasises thinking skills is afoundation for thoughtful learning.
Thoughtful learning is achieved if students are actively involved inthe teaching and learning process. Activities should be organised toprovide opportunities for students to apply thinking skills inconceptualisation, problem solving and decision-making.
Thinking skills can be categorised into critical thinking skills andcreative thinking skills. A person who thinks critically alwaysevaluates an idea in a systematic manner before accepting it. Aperson who thinks creatively has a high level of imagination, is able

to generate original and innovative ideas, and modify ideas andproducts.
Thinking strategies are higher order thinking processes that iinvolvevarious steps. Each step involves various critical and creativethinking skills. The ability to formulate thinking strategies is theultimate aim of introducing thinking activities in the teaching and
learning process.
Critical Thinking Skills
A brief description of each critical thinking skill is as follows:
Attributing Identifying characteristics, features,qualities and elements of a concept or anobject.
Comparing andContrasting

time, shape or number.
Prioritising Arranging objects and information in orderbased on their importance or priority.
Analysing Examining information in detail by breakingit down into smaller parts to find implicitmeanings and relationships.
Detecting Bias Identifying views or opinions that have thetendency to support or oppose something inan unfair or misleading way.
Evaluating Making judgements on the quality or valueof something based on valid reasons orevidence.
MakingConclusions
Making a statement about the outcome ofan investigation that is based on ahypothesis.
Creative Thinking Skills
A brief description of each creative thinking skill is as follows:
GeneratingIdeas

MakingDecisions
Selecting the best solution from variousalternatives based on specific criteria to achievea specific aim.
ProblemSolving
Finding solutions to challenging or unfamiliarsituations or unanticipated difficulties in a
systematic manner.
Besides the above thinking skills and thinking strategies, anotherskill emphasised is reasoning. Reasoning is a skill used inmaking logical, just and rational judgements. Mastering of criticaland creative thinking skills and thinking strategies is madesimpler if an individual is able to reason in an inductive and
deductive manner. Figure 1 gives a general picture of thinkingskills and thinking strategies.

Teaching and Learning based on Thinking Skills andScientific Skills
This biology curriculum emphasises thoughtful learning based onthinking skills and scientific skills. Mastery of thinking skills andscientific skills are integrated with the acquisition of knowledge inthe intended learning outcomes. Thus, in teaching and learning,teachers need to emphasise the mastery of skills together with theacquisition of knowledge and the inculcation of noble values andscientific attitudes.
The following is an example and explanation of a learning outcomebased on thinking skills and scientific skills.
Example:
Learning Outcome:
Thinking Skills:
Compare and contrast animal cell andplant cell based on the structure andorganelles
Comparing and contrasting
Explanation:
To achieve the above learning outcome, knowledge on the structureand organelles in animal and plant cells are learned throughcomparing and contrasting. The mastery of the skill of comparingand contrasting is as important as the acquisition of knowledge onanimal and plant cells. This would enable students to understandtopics on mitosis and meiosis.
SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDES AND NOBLE VALUES
Science learning experiences can be used as a means to inculcatescientific attitudes and noble values in students. These attitudesand values encompass the following:
? Having an interest and curiosity towards the environment.
?Being honest and accurate in recording and validating data.
? Being diligent and persevering.
? Being responsible about the safety of oneself, others, and theenvironment.
? Realising that science is a means to understand nature.
? Appreciating and practising clean and healthy living.
? Appreciating the balance of nature.
? Being respectful and well-mannered.

? Appreciating the contribution of science and technology.
? Being thankful to God.
? Having critical and analytical thinking.? Being flexible and open-minded.
? Being kind-hearted and caring.
? Being objective.
? Being systematic.
? Being cooperative.? Being fair and just.
? Daring to try.? Thinking rationally.
? Being confident and independent.
The inculcation of scientific attitudes and noble values generallyoccurs through the following stages:
? Being aware of the importance and the need for scientificattitudes and noble values.
? Giving emphasis to these attitudes and values.
? Practising and internalising these scientific attitudes and noblevalues.
When planning teaching and learning activities, teachers need togive due consideration to the above stages to ensure thecontinuous and effective inculcation of scientific attitudes andvalues. For example, during science practical work, the teachershould remind pupils and ensure that they carry out experiments ina careful, cooperative and honest manner.
Proper planning is required for effective inculcation of scientific
attitudes and noble values during science lessons. Before the firstlesson related to a learning objective, teachers should examine allrelated learning outcomes and suggested teaching-learningactivities that provide opportunities for the inculcation of scientificattitudes and noble values.
The following is an example of a learning outcome pertaining to theinculcation of scientific attitudes and values.

country, they will appreciate the diversity and uniqueness of thisnatural resource of the country and deepen their love for thecountry.
TEACHING AND LEARNING STRATEGIES
Teaching and learning strategies in the biology curriculumemphasise thoughtful learning. Thoughtful learning is a process thathelps students acquire knowledge and master skills that will helpthem develop their minds to the optimum level. Thoughtful learningcan occur through various learning approaches such as inquiry,constructivism, contextual learning, and mastery learning. Learningactivities should therefore be geared towards activating studentscritical and creative thinking skills and not be confined to routine orrote learning. Students should be made aware of the thinking skillsand thinking strategies that they use in their learning. They shouldbe challenged with higher order questions and problems and be
required to solve problems utilising their creativity and criticalthinking. The teaching and learning process should enable studentsto acquire knowledge, master skills and develop scientific attitudesand noble values in an integrated manner.
Teaching and Learning Approaches in Science
Inquiry-Discovery
Inquiry-discovery emphasises learning through experiences. Inquiry
generally means to find information, to question and to investigate aphenomenon that occurs in the environment. Discovery is the maincharacteristic of inquiry. Learning through discovery occurs whenthe main concepts and principles of science are investigated anddiscovered by students themselves. Through activities such asexperiments, students investigate a phenomenon and drawconclusions by themselves. Teachers then lead students tounderstand the science concepts through the results of the inquiry.
Thinking skills and scientific skills are thus developed further duringthe inquiry process. However, the inquiry approach may not besuitable for all teaching and learning situations. Sometimes, it maybe more appropriate for teachers to present concepts and principlesdirectly to students.
Constructivism
Constructivism suggests that students learn about something whenthey construct their own understanding. The important attributes ofconstructivism are as follows:
? Taking into account students prior knowledge.
? Learning occurring as a result of students own effort.
? Learning occurring when students restructure theirexisting ideas by relating new ideas to old ones.
? Providing opportunities to cooperate, sharing ideas andexperiences, and reflecting on their learning.
Science, Technology and Society
Meaningful learning occurs if students can relate their learning withtheir daily experiences. Meaningful learning occurs in learningapproaches such as contextual learning and Science, Technologyand Society (STS).
Learning themes and learning objectives that carry elements of STSare incorporated into the curriculum. STS approach suggests thatscience learning takes place through investigation and discussionbased on science and technology issues in society. In the STSapproach, knowledge in science and technology is to be learnedwith the application of the principles of science and technology andtheir impact on society.
-
8/3/2019 Hsp Biology f5
18/56
10
Contextual Learning
Contextual learning is an approach that associates learning withdaily experiences of students. In this way, students are able toappreciate the relevance of science learning to their lives. Incontextual learning, students learn through investigations as in theinquiry-discovery approach.
Mastery Learning
Mastery learning is an approach that ensures all students are ableto acquire and master the intended learning objectives. Thisapproach is based on the principle that students are able to learn ifthey are given adequate opportunities. Students should be allowedto learn at their own pace, with the incorporation of remedial andenrichment activities as part of the teaching-learning process.
Teaching and Learning Methods
Teaching and learning approaches can be implemented throughvarious methods such as experiments, discussions, simulations,projects, and visits. In this curriculum, the teaching-learningmethods suggested are stated under the column SuggestedLearning Activities. However, teachers can modify the suggestedactivities when the need arises.
The use of a variety of teaching and learning methods can enhancestudents interest in science. Science lessons that are notinteresting will not motivate students to learn and subsequently willaffect their performances. The choice ofteaching methods should be based on the curriculum content,students abilities, students repertoire of intelligences, and theavailability of resources and infrastructure. Besides playing the roleof knowledge presenters and experts, teachers need to act asfacilitators in the process of teaching and learning. Teachers needto be aware of the multiple intelligences that exist among students.Different teaching and learning activities should be planned to caterfor students with different learning styles and intell igences.
The following are brief descriptions of some teaching and learningmethods.Experiment
An experiment is a method commonly used in science lessons. Inexperiments, students test hypotheses through investigations to
discover specific science concepts and principles. Conducting anexperiment involves thinking skills, scientific skills, and manipulativeskills.
Usually, an experiment involves the following steps:
? Identifying a problem.
? Making a hypothesis.
? Planning the experiment
- controlling variables.
- determining the equipment and materials needed.
- determining the procedure of the experiment and themethod of data collection and analysis.
? Conducting the experiment.
? Collecting data.
? Analysing data.
? Interpreting data.
? Making conclusions.
? Writing a report.
In the implementation of this curriculum, besides guiding students to
do an experiment, where appropriate, teachers should providestudents with the opportunities to design their own experiments.This involves students drawing up plans as to how to conductexperiments, how to measure and analyse data, and how to presentthe outcomes of their experiment.

Discussion
A discussion is an activity in which students exchange questionsand opinions based on valid reasons. Discussions can beconducted before, during orafter an activity. Teachers should playthe role of a facilitator and lead a discussion by asking questionsthat stimulate thinking and getting students to express themselves.
Simulation
In simulation, an activity that resembles the actual situation iscarried out. Examples of simulation are role-play, games and theuse of models. In role-play, students play out a particular role basedon certain pre-determined conditions. Games require proceduresthat need to be followed. Students play games in order to learn aparticular principle or to understand the process of decision-making.Models are used to represent objects or actual situations so thatstudents can visualise the said objects or situations and thusunderstand the concepts and principles to be learned.
Project
A project is a learning activity that is generally undertaken by anindividual or a group of students to achieve a certain learningobjective. A project generally requires several lessons to complete.The outcome of the project either in the form of a report, an artefactor in other forms needs to be presented to the teacher and otherstudents. Project work promotes the development of problem-solving skills, time management skills, and independent learning.
Visits and Use of External Resources
The learning of science is not limited to activities carried out in theschool compound. Learning of science can be enhanced throughthe use of external resources such as zoos, museums, sciencecentres, research institutes, mangrove swamps, and factories.
Visits to these places make the learning of science moreinteresting, meaningful and effective. To optimise learningopportunities, visits need to be carefully planned. Students may beinvolved in the planning process and specific educational tasksshould be assigned during the visit. No educational visit is completewithout a post-visit discussion.
Use of Technology
Technology is a powerful tool that has great potential in enhancingthe learning of science. Through the use of technology such astelevision, radio, video, computer, and Internet, the teaching andlearning of science can be made more interesting and effective.
Computer simulation and animation are effective tools for theteaching and learning of abstract or difficult science concepts.Computer simulation and animation can be presented throughcourseware or Web page. Application tools such, as wordprocessor, graphic presentation software and electronic
spreadsheet are valuable tools for the analysis and presentation ofdata.
The use of other tools such as data loggers and computerinterfacing in experiments and projects also enhance theeffectiveness of teaching and learning of science.
CONTENT ORGANISATION
The biology curriculum is organised around themes. Each themeconsists of various learning areas, each of which consists of anumber of learning objectives. A learning objective has one or morelearning outcomes.
Learning outcomes are written based on the hierarchy of thecognitive and affective domains. Levels in the cognitive domain are:knowledge, understanding, application, analysis, synthesis and
-

evaluation. Levels in the affective domain are: to be aware of, to bein awe, to be appreciative, to be thankful, to love, to practise, and tointernalise. Where possible, learning outcomes relating to theaffective domain are explicitly stated. The inculcation of scientificattitudes and noble values should be integrated into every learningactivity. This ensures a more spontaneous and natural inculcationof attitudes and values. Learning areas in the psychomotor domain
are implicit in the learning activities.
Learning outcomes are written in the form of measurablebehavioural terms. In general, the learning outcomes for a particularlearning objective are organised in order of complexity. However, inthe process of teaching and learning, learning activities should beplanned in a holistic and integrated manner that enables theachievement of multiple learning outcomes according to needs andcontext. Teachers should avoid employing a teaching strategy thattries to achieve each learning outcome separately according to theorder stated in the curriculum specifications.
The Suggested Learning Activities provide information on the scopeand dimension of learning outcomes. The learning activities statedunder the column Suggested Learning Activities are given with theintention of providing some guidance as to how learning outcomescan be achieved. A suggested activity may cover one or morelearning outcomes. At the same time, more than one activity maybe suggested for a particular learning outcome. Teachers maymodify the suggested activity to suit the ability and style of learningof their students. Teachers are encouraged to design otherinnovative and effective learning activities to enhance the learningof biology.
