Educationists have realized that the quality of education cannot be better than the quality
of teaching. How to teach well requires on the part of the teachers the following to note:
1. Thorough grinding and mastery of the subject matter which he/she teaches.
2. Scholarly attitude towards teaching/learning in the class and on the campus of the
school i.e. thoughtfully reflective personality.
3. Highly polished communication skills in writing, speaking, and listening.
4. Respectful of the methods of science and mindful of the nature of scientific knowledge
5. Practicing believer in the core values of science such as:
Longing to know, questioning everything, collecting data and looking for meaning in
them, demand for verification, respect for logic, consideration of the premise and
paradigm, consideration of the consequences.
6. Letting students express their understanding i.e. their version of what was taught in the
class and why.
7. Giving more time to what students think and less time to what teachers think
8. Realizing that students construct their own knowledge and that this construction is
greatly influenced by what the student already knows i.e. his/her prior knowledge. This
implies that no student comes to the class room with empty head and that no information
can be transferred intact from the head of the teacher to the head of the student.
9. There are various theories and models available which deal with understanding the
process of learning. Teacher must base his practice of teaching on some theory and be
able to explain or try to explain what works in the class room and why.
10. Teacher should realize that teaching is not just drilling information into the head of
students nor is it just muddling through to teach as he was taught. It is a form of
scholarship in which teachers are involved in action research. They look for new
examples and non-examples. They sequence information in different ways and look for
the best sequence. They diagnose the learning difficulties of students by looking into
their prior knowledge where they search for misconceptions and knowledge gaps. They
focus on the learning styles of individual students and recognize slow and fast learners.
11. Students watch their teachers and notice so many things about them and they talk about
what they like or do not like. Teaching is close to show business and we can borrow
much from the people in the show business.
The topics, or objectives within topics, can be taught in any order in keeping with the
needs of teachers and students.
It will be clear that achievement of the educational objectives requires thoughtfully
designed teaching situations. It is assumed that students will achieve the educational objectives
by way of ongoing interplay between theoretical information and practical experience; it
therefore follows that the teaching approaches and materials used should:
represent chemistry as part of the process of scientific inquiry (rather than a rhetoric of
conclusions)
use inquiry-based teaching strategies where possible.
be student-centered, assisting students to derive their own concepts from evidence and
providing practical opportunities to develop individual reasoning abilities and motor skills
exemplify the concept from local scenario.
when beginning a new area of study, provide very direct, concrete experience – through
classroom, laboratory and field work – or the next best substitute when direct experience is
not feasible.
provide rewarding opportunities to apply scientific understanding and ways of thinking to
problems, especially everyday ones.
provide opportunities refine ideas through dialogue with others, and work with them in ways
like to foster cooperative abilities.
provide opportunities to develop skills of written and oral communications.
use testing as a diagnostic as well as an achievement tool.
Effective and meaningful chemistry education can only be guaranteed if the teacher, the
key pivot of change, is developed enough in contents as well as methodology. In-service
trainings may help the teachers to become familiar with a variety of strategies for successful
delivery of the curriculum.
1. Pre-service teacher training institutions are strengthened and their curricula be revised
to meet the demands of fast changing and developing world.
The purpose of assessment is to find out whether students have acquired the kind of
skills, knowledge, and understanding that we set as goals for our courses.
This purpose is achieved traditionally by conducting an examination at the end of the session
called summative assessment. In this form of assessment, teachers require students to express
their understanding of what teachers taught them and the performance of students is measured
as grade points. This is a convenient form of assessment because it is easy to carry out and it
does not consume much time.
However, this form of assessment is a single snap shot at the end of the session and
does not provide opportunity either to the student or to the teacher to interact formatively
through out the session as the student strives to develop his understanding of the content and
purpose of the course.
This vacuum can be filled by using FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT, which is an ongoing process
through out the session and uses Test – Feedback – Adjust cycle repeatedly to improve
students’ performance and efficiency in learning.
Guidelines for appropriate Assessment
Assessment Procedures
1. In addition to the end of the session exam, the practice of formative assessment should
be used through out the session.
2. Tasks in the Formative mode of assessment should include
o Homework
o Lab report writing
o Quizzes
o Frequent written tests
o Group discussion
o Oral Presentation
3. Feedback on students’ work in the above tasks should be provided to the
students.
4. Question setting should be specifically directed to finding out the following Skills,
Knowledge and Understanding according to the Bloom’s Taxonomy as given
below
a recall and retrieve information related to the contents of the course.
Leading words for setting questions:
list, define, identify, label, tabulate, name, who, when,
where and so on.

Practical Assessment
The National Curricula should be a reflection of our national needs and aspirations. This
requirement can be met only if the textbooks are written in accordance with this curriculum. This
curriculum meets not only the general aims and objectives but also fulfills the specific
requirements of the individual subjects. Keeping these points in view the authors should
observe the following points, while writing the textbooks.
1. The authors should adhere to the learning outcomes of each concept or chapter as
mentioned with the contents in the curricula.
2. The continuity of the concepts with the earlier classes, their integration and logical
development should be ensured.
3. Horizontal and vertical overlapping of the concepts should be avoided.
4. The textbook should be informative and interactive with questions to be put at suitable
intervals to provoke the students to think.
5. The details of the treatment of the concept should be properly classified into headings
and subheadings.
6. The language used should be simple, clear, straight forward, unambiguous and easily
comprehensible by the students of the particular level.
7. Simple questions may be asked within the chapter, which requires students to recall,
think, and apply what they have just learnt as well as to reinforce the learning of the
concepts and principle.
8. The new advancements and development in the subjects should be incorporated where
appropriate.
9. The examples and applications should be from every day life and be supportive of our
cultural values.
10. SI units should be used throughout the text and the numerical values used for various
constants should be same.
11. Photographs and illustrations should be clear, labeled and supportive of the text. Tables,
flow charts and graphs may be given wherever needed.
12. Key points at the end of each chapter should provide a summary of the important
concepts and principles discussed in the chapter.
13. Review questions should be given at the end of each chapter requiring students to
recall, think and apply what they have learnt in this chapter. This should start from
simple questions increasing the complexity gradually and should test knowledge,
understanding and skills of the students. The last few questions should encourage the
student to apply the concepts studied in this chapter.
14. Each chapter should be accompanied with its precise and coherent summary to be given
at the end of this chapter
15. Solved numerical examples within the chapter and review questions at the end of the
chapter should be based on variety of situations and should be related to local
environment and culture.
It may be considered that a good ratio of the students of intermediate classes has
access to computer technologies. They should be given chances of self learning (rather
exploring the knowledge) and it can be made true by converting the data of the IX-X and XI-XII
textbooks into electronic formats e.g. CD-ROMs. The CD-ROMs should be made available at
the retail outlets.
In Chemistry, reactions and flow sheet diagrams are more important to convey the
desired learning. Printed textbooks cannot tackle the diagrams that need 3-dimensional view
for their understanding. Diagrams, photographs and animations should be published in
electronic format i.e. CD-ROM that can be made an accessory item with the printed textbook.,
Such a CD should also have installed software for students’ assessment and evaluation in the
form of tests, quizzes and games.

EXERCISE:
The exercise should include;
• Multiple Choice Questions
• Short Questions
• Extensive Questions
(Questions should be made that can check learning outcomes in all the domains i.e. knowledge,
comprehension, application, evaluation, synthesis and connection with technology and society.)
The curriculum is fully in harmony with the National Priorities and will provide an
important momentum for achieving our vision for students.
The Ministry of Education went through an arduous exercise for restructuring the
National Schemes of Studies. The Curriculum Development Team; while designing the
curriculum, selecting the syllabi contents, carving the learning outcomes (including practical
skills) and suggesting the timeframes and evaluation strategies for the contents, maintained a
concrete configuration with the restructured Scheme of Study.
Reduction in Load:
Since it was important that the quality of Chemistry education at the secondary level was
not compromised in any way, the reduction in load from the syllabus required a very careful
selection of topics to be taught. The Team chose to leave topics out if:
The question about why the student needs to study the topic at the particular
stage could not be answered;
The topic had no direct relevance to the student i.e. was not contextual;
The content was repetitive across stages with no change in expected
understanding, and
Any topic was in isolation with no evident horizontal or vertical linkages.
The need for a network of ideas and cross-linking between the areas being identified
was deemed very important. While deciding on the chapters/topics and the depth of each topic
for the secondary level, a holistic view of the syllabus across all stages from the primary to the
higher secondary and beyond was taken. Reducing the use of too many technical terms and
avoiding very large numbers of examples will also help to make the content a little lighter. The
importance of careful selection of illustrations and their use to make the concepts more explicit
was stressed; in Chemistry, the quality of illustrations can make or mar any attempt at good
textbooks/teaching.
1. Adding many more concepts than can be comfortably learnt in the given time frame
2. Enumeration of things or types of things, even where there is no strong conceptual
basis for classification
At this stage the disciplines of physics, biology and chemistry are beginning to emerge.
The students should be exposed to experiences as well as modes of reasoning that are typical
of these subjects. This stage also sees a certain consolidation of knowledge within themes. As a
result, a theme may get a lot of space in one class (e. g. organization of life in Class IX) while
being absent from the higher classes.
Strengths
has a concrete structure, and well sequenced yet offers flexibility and maintains
the momentum over all years of high school chemistry.
highlights the degree of students expectations by laying out baseline levels of
achievement at the end of grade X and XII respectively. These expectations are
reflected within the Standards and Benchmarks as well as the Aims and Objects
sections of the document.
emphasizes Higher Order Thinking through the four year period. Students are
encouraged to think at higher levels for themselves, becoming independent of
the teacher----a life-long learning skill.
focuses on all the cognitive levels of the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. There is a
conscious effort to shift from simply knowing, remembering, and understanding to
the more complex applying analyzing, evaluating, and creating skills required for
success in this 21st century world.
makes positive connections among the contents taught, skills acquired, and a
variety of real-life situational applications. The abstract begins to be more
meaningful and students realize the “why” in their learning requirements.
bridges the gaps between content knowledge and practical laboratory
experiences by tying the two together. All laboratory activities are now connected
to their respective topics and where there are none, it clearly states so.
This glossary is intended to ensure that terms commonly used in the context of learning
outcomes and assessment are appropriately interpreted so that no confusion
what-so- ever arises in their use.
These words are listed below along with their contextual meaning.
We urge the users of these terms to strictly follow this glossary and associate meanings to the
key words as given in this glossary.
11. Measure implies that the quantity concerned can be directly obtained from a
suitable measuring instrument, e.g. Mass using a balance.
12. Determine often implies that the quantity concerned cannot be measured directly
but is obtained by calculation, substituting measured or known values of other
quantities into a standard formula e.g. relative molecular mass or ideal gas
equation.
15. Sketch, when applied to graph work, implies that the shape and/or position of the
curve need only be qualitatively correct. However, candidates should be aware
that, depending on the context, some quantitative aspects may be looked for,
e.g. passing through the origin, having an intercept, asymptote or discontinuity at
a particular value. On a sketch graph it is essential that candidates clearly
indicate what is being plotted on each axis.
16. Sketch, when applied to diagrams, implies that a simple, freehand drawing is
acceptable; nevertheless, care should be taken over proportions and the clear
exposition of important details.
