PEDAGOGIC CONTENT ANALYSIS OF SECONDARY SCHOOL SYLLABUS PRESCRIBED BY SC ERT & NCERT
NEW TRENDS IN THE CURRICULAR REFORMS (2002) IN KERALA
Basically, curriculum is a Social document. Like the constitution it
reveals the ethos of the society. Vision in a curriculum is the product of a set of assumption about
people and the world at large. Curriculum is the sum total of idea , values and visions transmitted
through the teaching learning process. The curriculum for upper primary and secondary levels
followed in Kerala was developed in 1992 and obviously needed modification and updating in the
light of the changed situations and needs.
The existing school education in Kerala seems to be in a state of
inertia due to many reasons .The existing education which is exclusively based on success in
examination and mechanical ways of instruction constitute the main reason for this condition. Also,
The challenges of the time like globalization, decentralized development, information technology,
consumerism lope sidedness is the value system etc. helped in the creation of this inertia.
This demands innovations in curriculum, consequent on the revised curriculum of primary classes,
for the program of DPEP, delinking of pre-degree from colleges and introduction of Higher
secondary education, the State Council of Educational Research and Training(SCERT), Kerala developed a secondary school curriculum for implementation from 2002 onward
The curricular revision has considered the child centered, activity- based pedagogy introduced in
primary classes. Such changes have to be continued with appropriate changes warranted by the
developmental status of the learners, in the successive stages up to plus two. The present
(revised) curriculum was prepared in accordance with the frame work approved by the
Government of Kerala.
SCIENCE CURRICULUM
We live in an age of science, and it is essential that
students of today, Who will occupy positions of leadership in this century in future should have the
background of a modern and forward looking program in science. In science education, learner-
centered process-oriented approach has to be introduced in the place of the teacher centered
content- oriented approach.
SALIENT FEATURES OF THE NEW CURRICULUM INTRODUCED IN THE HIGH SCHOOL CLASS IN 2002 – 2003
1. Learner centered approach in the class room; Activity based classrooms where teacher is
a facilitator; peer group learning in the class.
Individualized learning at one’s own speed and limit fixed according to learners capabilities
Instead of teaching aids learning aids are used in sufficient number.
More freedom to learners for learning and expression.
2. Importance given to the PROCESS of learning rather than to the PRODUCT.
Textbooks are so prepared that no answer statements are included. The content of the text
is open ended. The way through which the learner has to proceed will be given. Teachers
Hand Books are provided.
3. Continues and Comprehensive Evaluation
Both scholastic and co-scholastic aspects are evaluated. Evaluation column is the lesson
plans to be completed during the lesson
4. No average student in the class. Each differs is their intelligence and learning speed.
Multiple intelligence theory accepted instead of the traditional IQ concept
5. Group activities – pupils learn and do their activities in basic groups and instantaneous
group.
6. Different strategies like project, seminars, debates, field trips, special assignments, club
activities are used apart from group activities inside the class.

The general aims of Science education follow directly from the six criteria of
validity cognitive, content, process, historical, environmental and ethical.
Know the facts and principles of science and its applications, consistent with the
stage of cognitive development.
Acquire the skills and understand the methods and processes that lead to
generation and validation of scientific knowledge.
Acquire the requisite theoretical knowledge and practical technological skills to
enter the world of work.
Cultivate ‘Scientific temper’ – objectivity, Critical thinking and freedom fear and
prejudice.
CURRICULUM AT DIFFERENT STAGES
1. PRIMARY STAGE (Class I to v)
Primary science education has to be a phase of joyful learning for
the child with ample opportunities for exploring of the environment, to interact
with it and to talk about it. The main objectives at this stage are to arouse
curiosity about the content and topic.
2. UPPER PRIMARY STAGE (Class VI to VIII)
In this stage the contents are studied the students by experimenting,
investigation, discussion in the class with the teacher, peer interaction etc.
3. SECONDARY STAGE (Class IX AND X)
At the secondary stage, the pupil learn through himself, that means
they identify and solve problems on the basis of their own knowledge. And
also the contents are collected by his own surroundings. In this stage is
related to psychological approach ‘learning by doing’.
