Biology new lower secondary curriculum book 2 teachers guide. Learners in Senior Two are estimated to 3e 14 to 15 years old. These [earners are delightfully inquisitive. As they explore their new world, they are developing physically, emotionally and academically. Pay attention to what your learners are asking. Actively listen and understand what is going on in their minds
An effort has been made in this teacher’s guide with its learner’s book for senior two, to enhance development of each learner’s cognitive, psychomotor and affective domains.
The approach of learning has changed and thus emphasis should be on integrated reduction skills and an integrated approach.
This teacher’s guide has been designed in such a way that will provide you with the right techniques to provide learners with the means of developing logical thinking and numerical skills. These will be a powerful tool in their further study and later work in exploring the environment
There is a deliberate development of concepts from known to unknown, where learners’ experiences from interaction with the environment are utilised. The learner is not assumed to be ‘tabula rasa’.
Across the book, the teacher is destined to be a facilitator over a group of learners performing activities to generate their own leaning and understanding of concepts. The teacher is expected to guide learners in challenging situations and into the path desired without taking the centre stage. Teaching from simple to complex, abstract to concrete, and from known to unknown is highly recommended. This is in conformity with Jean Piaget’s Cognitive Development
In order to create a classroom where the earners enjoy learning, free to ask questions, and create self-learning, the teacher needs to act as a motivator, guide and a facilitator. He or she should provide children with positive experiences so that the fear and anxiety that a number of children face regarding biology may be addressed.
