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."
