2005 in form 1 and would reach form iv in 2008 .this syllabus seeks to impart competences (i.e.
knowledge, skills and attitudes), not just knowledge. Most of the topics come from the 1997
syllabus. However, the sub topics, specific objectives and teaching and leaning techniques have
been appraised with a view to retaining what are considered essential elements, avoiding
repetition and making the teaching and learning process more interactive/ participatory and
leaner centered.

6. 1 Class Level Competences. These reflect specific skills, knowledge and attitudes which the
leaner should demonstrate effectively throughout one’s life during and after school.
6.2 class level objectives
The syllabus contains three types of objectives: the general objectives of the course, the
objectives of teaching the subject in each class and finally the specific objectives for
each sub topic. Objectives are statements of behavior to be exhibited by each student after
studying a given topic/sub topic. When planning to each, the teacher has to be very clear about
the objectives expected to be attained at the end of each topic/sub topic and plan his/her
teaching in such a way that finally the expected general and specific objectives are achieved.
v
6.3 topics
These are column consists of the main topics to be covered from form one to four.
6.4 sub topics
These are smaller divisions of topics. Most topics in this syllabus have more than one sub topic.
6.5 specific objectives
These are sets of learning requirements in terms of knowledge specifications, skills and
attitudes to be acquired or developed during the teaching learning process of a given topic/ sub
topic.
6.6 teaching/ learning strategies
In the teaching learning strategies column, a number of teaching/learning strategies have been
suggested. This list is, however, not exhaustive. The teacher is advised to use the suggested
strategies but, where necessary, teachers should think of more appropriate strategies to use in
teaching history depending on factors such the availability of appropriate teaching learning
aids, references, level of learners’ knowledge, skills and experiences.
6.7 teaching/ learning materials
A number of materials for teaching/learning have been listed under the teaching/ learning
materials column. The list is not exhaustive. Therefore, the teacher is expected to think
creatively, identify and acquire other teaching/learning materials either through purchasing or
borrowing. Teachers are also expected to improvise teaching/ learning materials using locally
available materials and expertise.
6.8 Assessment
vi
The assessment column gives the teacher an idea of the kind of assessment that students
should be subject to. There is need for ensuring that students are assessed in all objectives and
that the assessment items take into consideration a wide variety of learning outcome
At the end of Form Four students are expected to do an overall achievement examination
intended to determine the extent to which the objectives of the History course have been
attained.
6.9 Number of Periods
