secondary school Biology curriculum.

Main Findings: The results revealed that the inclusion of sustainability in the
7
curriculum of secondary school Biology made it more organized, coordinated,

and formal. However, there is a need to emphasize the memorization and
retention of irrelevant material, themes, or detail. The social and economic
11
aspects of biology were neglected in the curriculums' few sections and the
12
practical work was ignored.
Applications of this study: The study will shed new light on the progressive and
13
applicable implementation of principles of sustainability. The explicit and
implicit inclusion of the sustainability principle in the Biology curriculum in a
14
systematic and coordinated way will help the students to cope with the needs
and demands of the future society.
Novelty/Originality of this study: Lots of work was done on the science
15
16
curriculum and textbook alignment but very little work was done on the biology
17
curriculum. So, in this study researchers investigate the sustainability
principles in the Biology curriculum separately or simultaneously. This study
will also help the curriculum developers to make a curriculum that must re
ect
18
our social, Islamic, environmental, and economical needs.

INTRODUCTION [500-1000 words]
The education for sustainable development (ESD) concept is multiplying
progressively at every level of the educational system. The UN International
Environmental Education Program (1975–1995)
rst thought of sustainability in
19
20
a secondary and higher level of education, and the UN is currently promising all
nations to address ESD by proclaiming 2005 to 2014 the decade for ESD by

reviewing the activity portion of ARIES (Australian Research Institute in
Education for Sustainability (Tilbury, Keogh, Leighton, & Kent, 2005). According
to the advocate of ESD to curriculum, this is the duty of states to develop the
21
2
leaders to follow the latest ecological condition for the prevention of ecological
collapses in curriculum or schemes of studies (Moore 2005).
23
Even though the term ESD is broadly in use, there remains a gigantic discussion
24
related to its de
nition (Sauvé, 1996). To keep up the degree of sustainability
we need to consider the sustainability standards or principles in the
educational
eld. The sustainability standards are economy, socio-cultural and
environmental, and politics. These principles are the fundamental support and
elements for sustainability to set up a solid domain concerning the educational
7
environment. The engineers of the UNESCO assertion conceptualized the
mainstays of sustainability as containing three reliant frameworks: economy,
25
socio-cultural, and environmental as a basic measurement (UNESCO, 2005).
26
There is no predetermined
27
, nor clear way as the very reason for sustainability
is one of a co- transformative, re
exive, learning process instead of as a limited
destination and goal (Huckle, 2005). Supportability standards can be a drive for
development and a vehicle in support of change. Changes in curriculum,
teaching method and program content have gotten a lot of consideration from
the sustainability principles (Holdsworth, Wyborn, Bekessy, & Thomas, 2008).
Nowadays, the most commonly used model of SD consists of three principles.
These sustainability principles ensure and appreciate the concept of
28
sustainability in environmental, social, and economical areas.

The three-column sustainability model is broadly acknowledged worldwide, yet
it has got additional appreciation regarding whether it speaks to a palatable
establishment for managing educational issues concerning sustainability.

essential curriculum directions characterizing science education (Eilks,
Nielsen, & Hofstein, 2014). It likewise requests all the more societal situated
science education ( Hofstein, A., Eilks, & Bybee, 2011; Holbrook & Rannikmae,
2007).
The curriculum development is a combined effort of all agencies and
stakeholders (e.g., curriculum developers, curriculum specialists, educational
managers, students, teachers, and parents). The curriculum indicates such
achievable learning outcomes that are after classroom instruction. It directs
the educators, curriculum developers, textbook developers, and instructional
material developers along with examiners. Though, directions given via
curriculum are generally not followed (Goodson, 2010). Issues that have obliged
the introduction and concept of sustainable development at a higher level of
education incorporate progressing perplexity over phrasing and discussion
relating to whether sustainable development is a legitimate element of the
educational program (i.e. curriculum). The curriculum introduced by PCTB is

hands-on encounters and the usage of assets accessible in the student's

The role of science for sustainable development in present-day social orders
proposes the focal job of science instruction in ESD (Bradley, 2005). The
signi
cant function of industrial developing productions grounded in science
lends science instruction focal importance regarding ESD. Although,

reactions on our own lives brought about by the creation and utilization of
products of energy, the different choices for vitality creation and use, inventive
items which may help in saving natural assets, and the connections of the

synthetic business with regional and local economies and social orders.
Developments in science are interlinked with biological, economic, and societal
effects (Feierabend, Jokmin, & Eilks, 2011). The resulting decisions about
these issues are considerably progressively signi
cant. In this manner, science
education shows extraordinary potential for enhancing the degree of general
instructions and its related skills amongst students in the sagacity of
34
participatory learning (Eilks, 2002). This is due to the current societal and
cultural developments that can be tied straightforwardly to science, which
35
would deal with a point where the multidimensional methodology is adopted.

38
have been many effective endeavors to consolidate manageability into training
and learning (Barth, Michelsen, and Sanusi, 2011).
The idea of Sustainable development (SD) tries to consolidate ecological
39
concerns with economical and social development. The idea got comfortable to
the general population during the 1980s with the report Our Common Future,
40
also named the 1987 Brundtland report. Up to that point, natural security along
41
with environmental protection had been the central logical point, emerging
from striking ecological issues. With the idea of SD, it was highlighted that
42
43
ecological issues ought to be managed in connection to social and economic
44
issues. SD is, in the present society, an overall objective of adjusting between
the prosperity of beings and improved existences of individuals all around in
4
45
reality, while simultaneously safeguarding normal assets and environments i.e.
47
ecosystem (Atkinson, Dietz, & Neumayer, 2007).
The United Nations raised sustainable development on the worldwide plan so
49
48
as to improve activities for a sustainable feasible future. UNESCO has
illustrated various sub-subjects to the environmental, economic, and social
dimensions of SD: (1) environmental angles: natural resources (water,
agriculture, energy, and biodiversity), climatic or environmental change, rural
7
and urban development, supportable urbanization, disaster management, and;
and (2) socio-cultural angles: rights of human, harmony, and security of human,
sexual orientation balance, diversity in socio-cultural and understanding in
50
intercultural and understanding among cultures i.e. multicultural concepts,
health-related concepts, HIV/AIDS, and administrative system of the country 51
52
governance; and (3) economical angles: reduction in poverty, the responsibility
of corporate and market economy and accountability (UNESCO, 2009) (pp. 18–
21).

It is broadly acknowledged that most cases of deteriorating conditions of the
environment are brought about by human conduct. Drivers of sustainability
issues are infrequently the aftereffect of cruel intent, but instead the outcomes
of the ways of life of billions of people. Sustainable development is "a goal that
must be accomplished by shifting the behavior of humans"(Schultz, 2011). The
53
54
activity of that behavior can work at various degrees of the society from the
55
lifestyle of an individual person
57
56
, to political and business-related leadership
58
59
60
decisions and so on. And thus various different aspects of individual power
result in sustainable development. Besides, practices for sustainable
development are controlled by cultural, structural, environmental, and
61
economical barriers as appeared. (Isenhour, 2010).
The idea of a sustainable curriculum is a composite thought, bringing together
62
substance in environmental, economical, and social issues, just as
63
psychological perspectives related to behavior, knowledge, and attitudes
64
identify such issues.
65
The idea of a Sustainable curriculum was created in close connection to the
UNESCO sub-topics outlined. To arrive at progress towards a sustainable
66
future, basic elements for change at the degree of individual incorporate a
superior understanding of, increasingly uplifting attitude which is positive
67
towards, and practices in accordance with the standards of sustainable
68
69
development. The answer followed by a question to be addressed is how to
achieve this determined goal? How might we change the way of our future? One
70
of the most articulated responses to this inquiry in the last decade has been:
71
training of teachers and education (Pauw et al., 2015).
The concept of quality in education depends on the reason that educational
aims are met and purposes satis
ed. In the Foreword to the 2005 Global
Monitoring Report for EFA, UNESCO Director-General Koïchiro Matsuura

composed, 'Quality must be found considering social orders that de
ne the
motivation behind education'(UNESCO, 2004). For a considerable length of
72
time, the purpose behind education in the United States (US) and in other
7
73
industrialized nations was to teach a workforce. At that point, the purpose for
education moved inside the economic domain to universal economic
competitiveness. While economic prosperity remains a signi
cant result of
74
education for nations, countries, networks, families, and people, the centre is
75
by all accounts
oating away from the economic intensity and towards global
citizenship, social equity, and sustainability.
76
7
For the purpose of conceptualization, both curriculum and teacher pedagogy
78,79
77
required changes but the question is what changes might be required to both
educational plan and teaching method. It is helpful to consider the
7
conceptualization (Gough & Scott, 2003; Vare & Scott, 2007). They distinguish
three sorts of approaches by Scott and Gough in 2003. The
rst is that the
80
issues looked at by humankind are fundamentally environmental and the
solution is commenced on a belief that communication and accomplishment of
this scienti
c information are suf
cient to induce the required changes. The
81
second one is environmental issues as being symptomatic of a fundamental
82
social as well as political discomfort. The two methodologies require social
change, answers for the domain of the current ideal paradigm of information
83
and thinking, and privilege the information on 'external or outside others', for
example, perceived specialists (Vare & Scott, 2007). Conversely, the third
84
approach expects our present knowledge and perception to be inadequate and
85
the way toward sustainability isn't de
86
nitely signposted hence requiring the
learning to be more future-oriented and open-ended.
Progressively it is being perceived that learning for sustainability is not just an
87
add-on or cross-educational plans theme i.e. curriculum, it requires a critical

move in the current practice of curriculum. Learning for sustainability is not
exclusively about the assimilation of new material into the curriculum; it is
additionally about challenging and testing teaching and learning. A central
component is that the curriculum should be interdisciplinary and all89
90
encompassing in acknowledgment that this sort of reasoning was required to
91
manage the intricacy and interconnectedness of real-world issues. The
7
organization and association of teaching and learning into independent
92
subjects blocked the sort of attitude that emerged out of interdisciplinary
93
knowledge and understanding (Nolet, 2009).

95
The manner in which the current curriculum is constructed, the economical
direction of schooling with the control and competitions' primary value (BAKER,
2008). Likewise, he also stated that imposing such a curriculum re
ects
mechanistic reasoning and has the supposition that learning goals can be pre26
determined and that the learning and teaching can be directed in an
anticipated linear pattern. This sort of reasoning has been the domineering
perspective in education for more than a long time since the Industrial
96
97
Revolution and the opportunity has arrived for another era in education(S
Sterling, 2003) (Gadotti, 2010). The participatory curriculum has the objective
of global endurance and consensus through maturity of teachers teaching
strategies and students with the process and content of learning may prompt
increasingly equitable and sustainable economical ways for a living (BAKER,
2008).
Biology is the most frequently necessary topic for entry into numerous
professional degrees, such as medical, nursing, pharmacy, nursing, and
biotechnology, to highlight a few simple, selected categories. Biology assists
students in understanding their surroundings and expects pupils to acquire
awareness, a good attitude, a scienti
c temper, a sense of value, and the ability

to communicate effectively. NFC's major focus on the consideration of the
secondary school biology curriculum includes making scienti
99
c concepts
100
within the reach of learners and including and delivering content elements
101
(concepts, facts, theories, attributes, principles, formulas, and diagrams) in a
simpli
ed and meaningful manner during classroom instruction. When it comes
to biology textbooks, they serve as a link between teachers and learners at the
secondary level (IX and X grades). The biology textbook is regarded as a mirror
image of the curriculum and syllabus for the secondary school biology subject
102
it is intended for. American science teachers, particularly biology subject
teachers, rely entirely on books for instruction, with approximately 90% of them
doing so in the classroom (Abimbola & Baba, 1996).
The Biology Curriculum comprises ideas, facts, concepts, theories, laws, signs,
principles, diagrams, equations, hierarchy, process, and characteristics by
following the sustainability principles. Biology Teachers suggested that there
may be a chance to face misconceptions in them because they failed to build a
1
relationship and perceived the content and its elements scienti
cally, then this
misconception is transformed in students as well.
METHODOLOGY

The study aimed to analyze the theoretical framework that underpins the
embedding of sustainability principles into the secondary school Biology
curriculum and investigate the sustainability principles found in the secondary
104
school Biology curriculum and textbook. An exploratory research approach was
105
106
used. Document analysis was done by reviewing the Biology curriculum and
104
Textbook. For review, the researcher opted for the nut and bolt approach to
107

The main research objectives of the study were:
7
To analyze the theoretical frames underpinned the embedding of sustainability
principles into the secondary school biology curriculum.
To explore the sustainability principles embedded in the secondary school
biology curriculum.
RESULTS/FINDINGS
The division of secondary school biology textbook and curriculum observes the
criteria given by Punjab Textbook Board (PTB) Lahore, which is grade 9th and
109
10th. The researcher overviews the Biology textbook and its curriculum
document by biology and observes these sustainability principles. The
secondary school biology textbook is divided into six sections (NCTB, 2006).
"Section one: the study of life and biodiversity, section two: cell biology, section
three: life processes, section four: continuity in life, section
ve: ecology, and
section six: application of biology".
110
111
These six sections were made by focusing on social, economical, and
112
environmental sustainability in a sequel manner. When talking about science
and technology, the curriculum of 2006 appreciates the use of technology and
113
114
115
science in biology. Technology along with science leads students towards
problem-solving skills, not only in academic manners but also in life-related
116
manners and leads them towards the improvement of socio-economic in
various aspects of life (NCTB, 2006).

Sustainability principles are not mentioned clearly in every section. But when
we follow themes and subthemes, we
nd that these principles have been
118
mentioned implicitly in the Biology curriculum. With the help of Blooms'
taxonomy, the sustainability principles were embedded in the curriculum and
119
inculcated these principles among students by using sustainable pedagogical
120
practices of science teachers.

principle is alienated into six variables. The secondary school Biology Textbook
and curriculum are divided into six sections considering the sustainability
121
principles i.e. environmental, social, and economic sustainability. All the
104
themes of the Biology curriculum and chapters of the Textbook contain these
principles separately and simultaneously. While reviewing the standards and
122
benchmarks, it was explored that every variable of environmental sustainability
104
covers all the themes and chapters of the Biology curriculum and Textbook

The above speci
cation table no. 3 explains that the social sustainability
principle is discussed under ten variables. Six sections are formed based on
128
7
disciplinary lines but most are organized around themes and subthemes
129
considering the sustainability principles. All the themes and chapters are
130
interdisciplinary. These displayed a sense of curiosity and wonder about the
104
natural world. Biology curriculum and textbook demonstrate and foster the
awareness among students that this has led to new developments in science
and technology and provide guidelines that lead the nation and economy
131
7
towards success. Social responsibility along with the globalization of the
132
economy, international development, and population growth lead towards
economic development, and sustainability, help to support and maintain
133
134
economic sustainability.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS [1000 -1500 words]
The secondary school Biology textbook and curriculum document were
reviewed and explored to see how the National curriculum of Biology for IX-X
135
ensures the primacy of students and their learning experiences with their
active participation in learning. The main focus of the curriculum was to
develop, foster, and polish the hands-on activities and skills of students. The
136
principles of sustainability were addressed implicitly rather than explicitly. It is

137
138
because it provokes students to critically evaluate situations and provoke them
139,140
32
through provoking solutions for a better tomorrow in the 21st Century.
The main aim of the Curriculum document for Biology 2006 was:
"Enable all students to develop their capacities as successful learners,
con
dent individuals, responsible citizens, and effective contributors to
society."
The 2006 Biology curriculum aspires to develop such personalities of society
141
who are con
dent, responsible, and successful in every area of life through
science education.
142
To meet the need of social, economical, and environmental aspects of
143
sustainability, the IX-X Biology curriculum provides local and international
144
responsive and vibrant technological, socio-economic, and labor markets
145
interdisciplinary standards (NCTB, 2006).
When talked about the need for assessment of the Biology curriculum, the
curriculum developer and planner focused on a few areas relating to
sustainability principles these were:
"Equip young people with the skills they will need in tomorrow's workforce".
And
"Allow more choice to meet the needs of individual young people".
The biology curriculum helps students to develop their problem-solving skills
along with technical and vocational skills through experiments and learning
146
experiences, which will equip them in dealing with future problems. The Biology
curriculum containing sustainability and its principles and its related issues
147
148
149
provides students a wide variety of concepts to explore and work with. This will
150
enable them to apply their learning in real-life contexts to meet the need of
future challenges in society. Incorporating Bloom's taxonomy provides a free
space or area to work with and ensures sustainable development in social,

151
economical, and environmental aspects of life. As a result, students encounter
experiences that engage them from the surface understanding to
152
metacognition, where they can transfer their understanding through them all-
inclusive, broad experiences and experiments to the practical implementation
of ideas as a responsible citizen of the society of students encourages them
153
towards the responsible citizens of society
154
.
After the revision of the Biology curriculum of 2000 and 2006, it highlights the
need for such a framework in which students will enable students to
155
understand and respond intelligibly to the world in which they live and deal
156
157
with. To include this need, the curriculum 2006 includes the problem base
strategy of learning and teaching rather than delivery or lecture-based learning
158
159
160
161
. To accomplish this, in-service training will be suggested for teachers to
162
meet the needs of students that will lie towards meeting the needs for
everyone to reap bene
ts from the society to make it a sustainable
environment to live in and for work (NCTB, 2006).
"The curriculum introduces the contemporary areas of Biology stressing on
connections of study of Biology to real-life problems covering the use of
discoveries/innovations in everyday life - in environment, industry, medicine,
health, and agriculture. It unfolds the underlying principles that are common to
both animals and plants, as well as the inter-relationships of Biology with other
areas of knowledge. The new curriculum permits the clear and sequential
ow
of concepts without jarring jumps".
While developing the sequence of the National Biology curriculum, few areas
163
164
were kept under the categories termed as "sections''. These sections link both
plants and animal life with different aspects of society, environment and
165
ecology, and moral values as well. The proper sequence was observed while
104
arranging themes under sections. The biology curriculum and textbook were

166
167
divided into six sections. Every section is interconnected with one another
168
which will help the students' understanding, skills, and ability to apply their
169
knowledge in real-life problems and experiences. A proper connection has been
170
observed between science, technology, and society to support the level of
32
sustainability and its principles in the 21st Century.
"Biology has to be presented as a live and growing body of knowledge rather
than a
nished product".
CONCLUSION
171
172
The results of this study revealed that since independence the curriculum of
biology went through many series of gradual and successive development. The
inclusion of sustainability in the curriculum of secondary school Biology made
7
173
it more organized, coordinated, and formal. However, there is a need to
7
7
emphasize the memorization and retention of irrelevant material, themes, or
174
detail. The social and economic aspects of biology were neglected in the
175
curriculums' few sections and the practical work was ignored or performed
hardly. When teaching practices of Biology, the aims and objectives were not
consistent with the teaching of Biology. While considering the sustainability
principles, the themes were inter-connected under the sections and mentioned
implicitly rather than explicitly. But the integration of organic science and
zoology was not aligned and systematic. The
ndings of the study shed new
light on the progressive and applicable implementation of principles of
176
sustainability. It was suggested that the explicit and implicit inclusion of the
sustainability principle in the Biology curriculum in a systematic and
177
178
coordinated way will help the students to cope with the needs and demands of
179
the future society. Moreover, the
180
ndings suggested that there is a need for
systematic and progressive alignment and integration of sustainability
principles in the Biology curriculum. Necessary resources are provided to make

Report: H93144
it more applicable and valuable for students. The Biology curriculum of
181
secondary school should be revised and improved and must re
ect our social,
182
Islamic, environmental, and economical needs.
LIMITATION AND STUDY FORWARD
The researcher uses the Qualitative approach to explore the Sustainability
principle in the Biology curriculum by reviewing the document of the Biology
183
curriculum along with its all components i.e., standards, benchmarks,
competencies, objectives, and aims. There will be a need to review the Biology
curriculum quantitatively by indicating the percentage or weightage of the
covered sustainability principles. Subjects other than Biology will also need to
investigate sustainability principles to make the curriculum more stable,
symmetric, and systematic.
