dc.description.abstractThis 1B a task analytical study of the new Biology programmable developed "by the Science Teachers' Association of Nigeria (S.T.A.N.) The study examined the laboratory activity/practical work organization and analysed the structure and skill levels of the tasks students are expected to both engaged in during the practical work phases of the programme. The instrument used for the analyses was the Laboratory Structure and Task Analysis Inventory (LAI) developed by Tamir & Lunetta (1973). The results chow that the practical activities are more highly structured (i.e. giving specific instructions to students on how to carry out the experiments) than open-ended. The programme encourages students to adopt an inductive approach (i.e. generalize from data gathered) in solving problems. The practical activities are all designed to follow the text, a few integrated within the text, and none to precede the text. In all the practical activities, students are expected to work individually, independent of others. The practical activities expect students to perform a variety of observational, measurement, apparatus manipulation and reporting procedures. These all qualify as lower order skills. Students are rarely asked to carry vii out higher order activities like predicting experimental results, designing observation, measurement, and experimental procedures. There are no opportunities for students to apply experimental techniques to new problems or variables.en_US
