Question

Awareness of science curriculum in international level

Answer 1

Science, together with history and geography, is part of Social, Environmental, and Scientific Education (SESE) in the Primary School Curriculum in Ireland.9 The current curriculum was officially implemented in schools in 2003–2004, following appropriate professional development for teachers in the previous school year. The science curriculum aims to help children develop basic scientific ideas and understanding about the biological and physical aspects of the world, and the processes through which they develop this knowledge and understanding. The curriculum also aims to foster positive attitudes toward science, and to encourage children to examine and appreciate how science and technology affect their lives and the environment.
