The education system in Botswana at junior level is at present undergoing a massive expansion and, within this programme of change, curriculum materials for 'Nine Years Basic Education' for all are being developed and modified. Integrated science as one of the core curriculum subjects is intimately involved in this process. The curriculum, developed from an early 1970s science curriculum imported from the UK, is seen as unproblematic and, apart from some minor changes in content, the most recent revisions are already in position in the schools. However, the study of the curriculum-in-action in the classrooms is revealing large discrepancies from the curriculum-as-planned by developers within the Ministry. It is suggested that the reasons for this are complex and are related to a combination of second-language-learning problems and a failure to appreciate the cultural context of learning. |
