A new education curriculum for a new democratic dispensation was welcomed and unavoidable in South Africa after the first democratic election in 1994. The main reason for this radical change within education was that policymakers needed to move away from the apartheid curriculum with all its attendant political baggage and address the laudable outcomes of skills, knowledge and values for purposes of achieving social justice, equality and development. Within this curriculum, the South African Schools Act (Act 84 of 1996) recognises two broad categories of schools public and independent schools.

Abstract:

The study investigated whether students’ achievement in Basic Science and Technology in Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) is a predictor of quality of science education in Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE). Three research questions and three null hypotheses guided the study. Ex-post facto research design was adopted for the study. The students’ scores in Basic Science and Technology in BECE for 2010/2011, 2011/2012, 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 academic sessions and their corresponding science subjects such as Biology, Chemistry and Physics results in Senior S

Abstract:

The Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) is a very successful senior secondary school qualification introduced in the Australian state of Victoria in 2002. Applied learning in the VCAL engages senior students in a combination of work-based learning, service-learning, and project-based learning and aims to provide them with the skills, knowledge, and attitudes to make informed choices regarding pathways to work and further education. The program has enjoyed rapid growth and its system-wide adoption by Victorian secondary schools, Technical and Further Education (TAFE) institutions,

Abstract:

Assessment as classroom activities is a fundamental process required to determine the extent to which intended learning outcomes has been achieved. Whatever form of assessment is employed to measure students’ learning, they should include tasks that are authentic, relevant and approximate skills students will need in real-life situations. These skills are well accentuated in the advocacy of the current reforms in science education to develop students’ higher-order cognitive skills (HOCS) through question-asking, critical thinking and problem solving. Therefore, this research analyzes chemistry

Abstract:

This study was conducted on 50 participants, all students at the Senior Secondary level. The purpose was to generate pedagogy for improved teaching of a difficult aspect of comprehension—word substitution. Word substitution is expected to be a reflection of extensive reading as it has to do with how much of vocabulary reservation the candidate possesses and how best he is able to use them. Unfortunately, not many students find this aspect interesting possibly because of the drop in attitude to reading. The researcher, therefore, experimented with Group strategy to find out if working as a grou

This led the researcher to study the relationship between students’ scores on plain questions and their scores on worded problems. The study was correlational. A sample of 122 final year senior secondary school students was drawn through judgemental sampling technique from public secondary schools in Bayelsa and Delta states, south-south Nigeria. The instrument had five plain questions and five worded problems adapted from the May/June West African Senior School Certificate
