Heads of schools may consider whether it would be more useful to allocate one of the periods at Year 4 to Year 2, increasing the number of periods for
Year 2 to 5.

SUGGESTIONS FOR TEACHING THE SYLLABUS

Practical activity is strongly emphasized in order that students would be able to see, handle, use, and in many other ways become familiar with the materials,
processes and equipment used in the electronic industry.

Most of the teaching should take place in an adequately equipped workshop or laboratory, and should take the form of practical and experimental work requiring
active student participation rather than passive observation.

Materials and Equipment Lists of materials and equipment for teaching electronics are provided at the end of the syllabus.

General Objectives
General Objectives have been listed at the beginning of each Section. The general objectives are a summary of the specific objectives of the various units
contained in that Section. Read the general objectives very carefully before you start teaching the section. After teaching all the units of the section go back and
read the general objectives again to be sure you have covered the objectives adequately in the course of your teaching.

v
Sections and Units
The syllabus has been planned on the basis of sections and units. Each year’s work has been divided into sections. A section consists of a fairly homogeneous
body of knowledge within the subject. Within each section are Units. A unit consists of a more related body of knowledge and skills. The teacher is expected to
teach the total number of sections and associated number of units prescribed for the year and plan the lessons for each term such that the work in all the Sections
and Units for each particular class will be adequately completed by the end of the school year. Each section of the syllabus is structured in five columns. The five
columns are as follows:

 Units
 Specific Objectives
 Content
 Teaching and Learning Activities
 Evaluation

A description of the contents of each column is as follows:

COLUMN 1 - UNITS

The Units in Column 1 are divisions of the major topics of the Section. You are expected to follow the unit topics according to the linear order in which they have
been presented. However, if you find out at some point that teaching and learning in your class will be more effective if you switch to another unit before coming
back to the unit in the sequence, you are encouraged to do so.

COLUMN 2 - SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

Column 2 shows the specific objectives for each Unit. The specific objectives begin with numbers such as 1.3.5 or 2.2.1. These numbers are referred to as
st nd rd
“Syllabus Reference Numbers.” The 1 digit in the syllabus reference number refers to the section; the 2 digit refers to the unit, while the 3 digit refers to the
rank order of the specific objective. For instance, 1.3.5 means: Section 1 (of the appropriate year’s syllabus); Unit 3 (of Section 1) and Specific Objectives 5 of Unit
3 of Section 1.

COLUMN 3 - CONTENT
rd
The 3 column of the syllabus presents a selected body of information that you will need to use in teaching the particular Unit. In some cases, the content
presented is quite exhaustive. In some cases, the content has been made skeletal for you to develop.

COLUMN 4 - TEACHING AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES (T/LA)

Teaching and Learning Activities that will ensure maximum student participation in the lessons are presented in Column 4. Avoid rote learning and drill-oriented
methods and rather emphasize participatory teaching and learning in your lessons. As much as possible, try to emphasize the cognitive, affective and
psychomotor/practical domains of knowledge in your instructional system, wherever appropriate. You are encouraged to re-order the suggested teaching and
learning activities and also add to them where necessary in order to achieve optimum student learning. As we have implied already, the major purpose of teaching
and learning is to make students able to apply their knowledge in dealing with issues both in and out of school.

vi
COLUMN 5 - EVALUATION

Suggestions and exercises for evaluating the lessons of each unit are indicated in Column 5. Evaluation exercises can be in the form of oral questions, quizzes,
assignments, homework, project work, etc. Try to ask questions and set tasks and assignments etc. that will challenge students to apply their knowledge to issues
and problems as already indicated and will assist them in developing solutions and positive attitudes towards the subject.

PROFILE DIMENSIONS

Profile dimensions describe the underlying behaviours or abilities students are expected to acquire as a result of having gone through a period of instruction. Each
of the specific objectives in this syllabus contains an action verb that specifies the type of learning or skill that the student should acquire by the end of the
instructional period. A specific objective as follows: The student will be able to describe …etc. contains an action verb "describe" that indicates what the student
will be able to do after teaching and learning have taken place. Being able to "describe" something after the instruction has been completed means that the
student has acquired "knowledge". Being able to explain, summarise, give examples, etc. means that the student has understood the lesson taught. Similarly,
being able to develop, plan, construct, etc. means that the student can "apply" or use the knowledge acquired in some new context. Each of the action verbs in
the specific objectives of the syllabus describes the behaviour the student will be able to demonstrate after the instruction. "Knowledge", "Application", etc. are
dimensions that should be the prime focus of teaching, learning and assessment in schools.

Electronics is a practical subject and the learning required is best achieved by practical application of skills learnt. The profile dimensions required in this subject
and their respective weights are as follows:

Knowledge and Understanding 20%


Application of Knowledge 30%
Attitudes and Practical Skills 50%

Each of the dimensions has been given a percentage weight that should be reflected in teaching, learning and testing. The weights show the relative emphasis
that the teacher should give in the teaching, learning and testing processes. Combining the three dimensions in the teaching and learning process will ensure that
electronics is taught and studied not only at the cognitive level, but will also lead to the acquisition of practical skills in the subject.

The explanation of the key words involved in each of the profile dimensions is as follows:

Knowledge and Understanding (KU)

Knowledge The ability to:


remember, recall, identify, define, describe, list, name, match, state principles, facts and concepts. Knowledge is simply the ability to
remember or recall material already learned and constitutes the lowest level of learning.

Understanding The ability to:


explain, summarize, translate, rewrite, paraphrase, give examples, generalise, estimate or predict consequences based upon a trend.
Understanding is generally the ability to grasp the meaning of some material that may be verbal, pictorial, or symbolic.

vii
Application of Knowledge (AK)

Ability to use knowledge or apply knowledge, as implied in this syllabus, has a number of learning/behaviour levels. These levels include application, analysis,
synthesis, and evaluation. These may be considered and taught separately, paying attention to reflect each of them equally in your teaching. The dimension "Use
of Knowledge" is a summary dimension for all four learning levels. Details of each of the four sub-levels are as follows:

Application The ability to:


apply rules, methods, principles, theories, etc. to concrete situations that are new and unfamiliar. It also involves the ability to produce,
solve, operate, plan, demonstrate, discover etc.

Analysis The ability to:


break down materials into its component parts; to differentiate, compare, distinguish, outline, separate, identify significant points etc,
recognize unstated assumptions and logical facilities, recognize inferences from facts etc.

Synthesis The ability to:


put parts together to form a new whole. It involves the ability to combine, compile, compose, devise, plan, revise, design, organize, create,
generate, discuss etc.

Evaluation The ability to:


appraise, compare features of different things and make comments or judgments, contrast, criticize, justify, support, discuss, conclude,
make recommendations etc. Evaluation refers to the ability to judge the worth or value of some materials based on some criteria.

Practical Skills (PS)

Practical skills involve the use of tools/equipment and materials to carry out practical operations. The teaching and assessment of practical skills should involve
projects and creative practical tasks.

“Attitudes and Practical Skills” is given 50 per cent of the teaching, learning and testing time to emphasize the point that Applied Electronics at the SHS level
should be practically oriented. The remaining 50 percent of knowledge in the subject is distributed to the theoretical aspect involving acquisition of knowledge,
understanding and application of knowledge and understanding of theoretical issues/problems.

viii
Skills required for effective practical work are the following:
1. Handling Tools/Equipment/Materials
2. Observation
3. Perception
4. Creativity
5. Communication

Tools/Equipment/Materials Handling: Students should be able to handle and use tools/equipment/materials properly for practical work to acquire the needed
manual skills.

Observation: The student should be able to use his/her senses to make accurate observation of skills and techniques needed in practical work. The student should
be able to imitate the techniques he/she has observed for performing tasks in electronics.

Perception: The student should be able to respond to his/her environment using all the senses i.e. seeing, hearing, smelling, touching and tasting. The
student should be encouraged to apply the senses to every project he/she undertakes.
Originality/Creativity Students should be encouraged to be creative or original and be able to use new methods in carrying out projects. They should be
encouraged to be original in their practical work and not copy existing work. You can help them to be creative and original by encouraging any little creative
effort, technique and product they may develop.

Communication: Students should be guided to develop effective oral and written communication skills necessary for group work, oral and written reports.

The action verbs provided under the various profile dimensions should help you to structure your teaching such as to achieve the set objectives. Select from the
action verbs provided for your teaching, in evaluating learning before, during and after the instruction.

FORM OF ASSESSMENT
It is important that both instruction and assessment be based on the profile dimensions of the subject. In developing assessment procedures, select specific
objectives in such a way that you will be able to assess a representative sample of the syllabus objectives. Each specific objective in the syllabus is considered a
criterion to be achieved by the student. When you develop a test that consists of items based on a representative sample of the specific objectives taught, the test
is referred to as a “Criterion-Referenced Test.” In many cases, a teacher cannot test all the objectives taught in a term or even a year. The assessment procedure
used i.e. class tests, homework, projects and end-of-term tests, must be developed in such a way that it will consists of a sample of the important objectives taught
over a period.

The example on the next page shows the recommended end-of-term examination structure for Applied Electricity/Electronics. The structure shows two
examination papers. School Based Assessment (SBA) forms part of the end-of-term examination system.

END OF TERM EXAMINATION


The chart below shows the mode of assessment and weighting to be followed by teachers at the end of the term. There will be two papers in the examination:
PAPER 1 (Theory) and PAPER 2 (Practical).

Section A of Paper 1 is an objective type section testing knowledge and understanding of Electronics. Section B consists of structured questions testing application
of knowledge. Paper 2 will test practical skills in electronics.

The structure of the examination in the table follows the structure in the WAEC examination presented as follows:

PAPER 1 (THEORY): This consists of two (2) Sections, A and B.

SECTION A - This will consist of fifty (50) multiple choice/objective questions from the syllabus to be answered in one (1) hour for fifty
(50) marks.

SECTION B - This will consist of ten (10) short answer questions drawn from the syllabus. Candidates will be required to respond to
five (5) questions in one (1) hour for a total of fifty (50) marks.

PAPER 2 (PRACTICALS): This consists of two practical experiments to be carried out in three (3) hours for a total of 100 marks.

GUIDELINES FOR SCHOOL-BASED ASSESSMENT (SBA)

School Based Assessment (SBA) system, formerly referred as continuous assessment will soon be introduced into Senior High Schools. SBA is a very effective
system for teaching and learning if carried out properly. The new SBA system is designed to provide schools with an internal assessment system that will help
them to achieve the following purposes:

o Standardize the practice of internal school-based assessment in all schools in the country
o Provide reduced assessment tasks for subjects studied at each of the school levels
o Provide teachers with guidelines for constructing assessment items/questions and other assessment tasks
o Introduce standards of achievement in each subject and in each class of the school system
o Provide guidance in marking and grading test items/questions and other assessment tasks
o Introduce a system of moderation that will ensure accuracy and reliability of teachers’ marks
o Provide teachers with advice on how to conduct remedial instruction on difficult areas of the syllabus to improve class performance.
x
The arrangement for SBA may be grouped in categories as follows. Folio Preparation, Class Tests, Homework and End of Term Examinations.

FOLIO PREPARATION: These are tasks assigned to students to be completed in extended time. Folio preparation may include the following:
(i) Specific Design
(ii) Investigative study and field visit reports.

CLASS TESTS: These will essentially consist of written assignments covering topic/units completed at some specific periods within the term.

HOMEWORK: Assignment to be completed within a day or a couple of days. Homework may consist of practical topics or topics covering the subject
content taught.

END OF TERM EXAMINATION: The terminal test is a summative evaluation method for assessing the subject content, skills and profile dimensions taught. In
developing, the end-of-term test ensure that the test will have high content validity by a adopting the criterion-referenced testing approach for developing
representative tests as we have discussed already. The examination structure presented above should help in the development of the end of term examination.

GRADING PROCEDURE

To improve assessment and grading and also introduce uniformity in schools, it is recommended that schools adopt the following grade boundaries for assigning
grades on students’ test results.

Grade A: 80 - 100% - Excellent


Grade B: 70 - 79% - Very Good
Grade C: 60 - 69% - Good
Grade D: 45 - 59% - Credit (Satisfactory)
Grade E: 35 - 44% - Pass
Grade F: 34% and below - Fail

In marking your class examination scripts, it is very important that you develop a marking scheme. A marking scheme consists of the points for the best answer
you expect for each question, and the marks allocated for each point raised by the student as well as the total marks for the question. For instance, if a question
carries 20 marks and you expect 6 points in the best answer, you could allocate 3 marks or part of it (depending upon the quality of the points raised by the
student) to each point making a total of 18 marks, and then give the remaining 2 marks or part of it for organisation of answer. For objective test papers you may
develop an answer key to speed up the marking.

In assigning grades to students’ test results you may apply the above grade boundaries and the descriptors which indicate the meaning of each grade. The grade
boundaries are also referred to as grade cut-off scores. For instance, the grade cut-off score for a B grade is 70% in the example. When you adopt a fixed cut-off
score grading system as in this example, you are using the criterion-referenced grading system. By this system, a student must make a specified score to be
awarded the requisite grade. This system of grading challenges students to study harder to earn better grades. It is hence a very useful system for grading
achievement tests. Ensure that GRADE A is awarded only to creative Projects/Products that show combination of skills from the different optional areas.

xi
Note however, that the WASSCE has a different grading system from the above. The WASSCE grading system is as follows:

Grade A1: 80 - 100% - Excellent


Grade B2: 76 - 79% - Very Good
Grade B3: 70 - 75% - Good
Grade C4: 65 - 69% - Credit
Grade C5: 60 - 64% - Credit
Grade C6: 56 - 59% - Credit
Grade C7: 50 - 55% - Pass
Grade D8: 45 - 49% - Pass
Grade F9: 44% and below - Fail

The WASSCE grading system consists of nine grades and is rather too long for use in schools. Note however, that the WASSCE grades for “Pass” and “Fail” are
more demanding. The pass grade is set at 45 percent and the “Fail” grade is set at 44 percent. What you need to do is to remind your students, despite their marks
in class examinations, is to strive to attain a minimum of 50 percent marks in class tests in order to increase their chances of getting good grades in the WASSCE
examination.
