1.0 INTRODUCTION1.1 Background Information

The A-level Chemistry syllabus for Tanzania was last reviewed in 1996. It has taken twelve years for the next review done in 2008.The 2008 review has been done in the context of serious global and local changes and challenges such as ICT developments and cross-cutting issues.The present review has been done according to the requirements of the contemporary curriculum paradigm shift, where the student is placed at the centre of the teaching-learning process. Student learning is supposed to be activity oriented and cooperative in nature.The present A-level Chemistry curriculum review is based on the country-wide monitoring research which was done in 2007 on the implementation of the A-level curriculum. This review study was followed by a meeting of A-level stake holders, who contributed important ideas and recommendations which has guided the review process. Their comments have been taken on board.The world in the last ten years has changed very much technologically and socially. The present review has put enough emphasis on the development in the learners skills and competences needed in every day life.This syllabus has treated quite well the Environmental and Soil Chemistry.

1.2 Brief Description of the SubjectChemistry is studied as a principal subject. The content has been carefully selected and organised so as to promote interest and motivation throughout the course. The topics fall under 5 (five) blocks, namely General Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry and Organic Chemistry.

1.3 Rationale for Review of the Chemistry Subject SyllabusThe monitoring research which was done in 2007 to pave the way for the syllabus review identified the following gaps in the chemistry syllabus of 1996: • The syllabus was knowledge - based and not learner - centred; • It was not geared towards constructivism;

• It was missing important content areas such as soil chemistry, cross - cutting

v

issues, environmental and soil chemistry, as well as qualitative analysis.In designing this syllabus, due consideration has been made for it to be learner centred, activity oriented and the cross-cutting issues have been integrated.The sub-topics removed were Cyclic hydrocarbons and Amides. However, radioactivity was shifted to Physics. Extraction of metals, Environmental Chemistry, Soil Chemistry and Qualitative Analysis have been added. More over, teaching/learning strategies, assessment and number of periods per sub-topic have been included in the syllabus.

2.0 OBJECTIVE OF EDUCATION IN TANZANIAThe general aims of education in Tanzania are to:a) guide and promote the development and improvement of the personalities

6.0 ORGANIZATION OF THE SYLLABUSThis syllabus has a slightly different structure and organization compared to the 1997 syllabus. The current syllabus has six (6) columns, namely topic/subtopic, specific objectives, teaching and learning strategies, teaching and learning resources assessment and number of periods. In addition the following changes were incorporated for improvement:a) General competences for the whole course. b) Competences for forms V and VI.c) Suggested areas of assessment. d) Number of periods per sub-topic. e) Assessment for the subject.

6.1 Class Level CompetencesCompetences are the skills, knowledge and attitudes attained by the learners after a learning process. Competences have been stated for each of the class levels of the Chemistry course, i.e. Form V and VI. It is upon the class level

competences that the class level objectives were developed.

6.2 Class Level ObjectivesThe general objectives for formV and for form VI have been stated so as to indicate the scope of coverage within each level.

6.3 The Content Matrics The Content Matrics for this syllabus has the following columns:

• Topic/sub-topic • Specific instructional objectives • Teaching/Learning Strategies • Teaching/Learning Resources • Assessment • Number of Periods

6.3.1 Topic/sub-topics

Topics

The topics in this syllabus have been derived from the class level competences and objectives. Most of the topics in the 1996 A-level Chemistry syllabus have been retained. Some sub-topics have been left out in order to cut the syllabus short. However, some topics of major interest have been introduced, these include: • Soil Chemistry • Environmental Chemistry (CCI) • Analytical Chemistry

Sub-topics

Topics have been divided into sub-topics. Each sub-topic comprises of a portion of the content of the topic in question.The sub-topics have also been arranged to attain a logical or der which facilitates transfer of learning.

6.3.2 Specific objectivesThere are specific objectives for each sub-topic. These are the expected outcomes of classroom instruction. They also reflect the process involved to attain the competences expected. The objectives are meant to cover the whole range of learning domains; i.e cognitive, psychomotor and affective.

6.3.3 Teaching/learning strategiesThe column of Teaching/Learning Strategies suggest that in the Teaching/Learning process, both the teacher and the students must be involved in activities. Students are encouraged to work in small groups for maximum participatory and co-operative learning. The teacher is supposed to help and facilitate students’ learning activities. The whole syllabus encourages interactive and participatory Teaching/Learning. However, the Teaching/Learning strategies suggested in this syllabus are not exhaustive.The teacher and students may decide to use any other Teaching/Learning strategies which suit the Teaching/Learning environment and the availableTeaching/Learning resources to teach a particular topic.

6.3.4 Teaching/learning resourcesIn the teaching of A-level Chemistry a variety of Teaching/Learning resources of different nature, quality and quantity will be needed. Incase the commercial Teaching/Learning resources are not available in their environment, the teacher together with students are expected to collect or improvise alternative resources available in their environment.

6.3.5 AssessmentFor every specific instructional objective, there is a suggested question or area for assessment. Formative and summative assessment should be geared towards mastering all the competences and skills developed within the course. Teachers should use assessment tools to assess student’s ability by the end of the lesson. Examples of these tools are: Tests, quizes, assignments, exercises, project work, experimental work and portifolios.

6.3.6 Number of periodsEach sub-topic has been allocated a specific number of instructional periods. The teacher should ensure that the sub-topic is completed within the specified time. The longer and more difficult topics involving more practical sessions have been allocated more instructional periods.

7.0 INSTRUCTIONAL TIMEThe A-level Chemistry syllabus is meant to be covered in two years. The subject matter content has been apportioned to Form V and Form VI.

Page 10: THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA MINISTRY OF EDUCATION …tie.go.tz/uploads/files/Chemistryh Subject Syllabus for A Level Form V... · the course. The topics fall under 5 (five) blocks,
