Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out the opinions of physics teachers on the nature of BGCSE physics syllabi in Single Science, Double Science and Pure Science in the areas of their: (i) content (ii) objectives (iii) teaching methods (iv) differentiation teaching (v) assessment (vi) teaching orientation (viii) availability of computers (ix) student projects (x) laboratory facilities (xi) duration of the programme and (xii) laboratory assistants. A 38-item open-ended questionnaire was completed by 22 senior secondary school physics teachers. The results showed the need to revise the content, and assessment practices and those teachers were trying to promote learner-centered approach, even though they were faced with problems.
