Introduction to the Secondary School Science Electronic Library

The Secondary School Science Electronic Library has been developed to assist teacher trainers and teachers in Africa to improve the teaching and learning of science in secondary schools. It seeks to:

1. Provide samples of innovative, practical and interesting lesson plans that can be adapted to suit conditions in each African country.

2. Provide teacher trainers with the basis for discussion of useful methodologies that can be utilized for secondary science teaching in Africa.

3. Initiate discussion in teacher education and curriculum development institutions on how to improve the teaching of science in secondary schools.

4. Provide access to up-to-date research and development in secondary science.

5. Provide a practical guide to educational psychology and methodology prepared as part of the UNICEF Edukit Program (1996).
