PREFACE
The syllabus was produced as a result of the Curriculum review process carried out by the Ministry of Education, Science, Vocational Training and Early
Education under the auspices of the Curriculum Development Centre (CDC). The curriculum reform process started way back in 1999 when the Ministry of
Education commissioned five (5) curriculum studies which were conducted by the University of Zambia. These studies were followed by a review of the
lower and middle basic and primary teacher education curriculum. In 2005 the upper basic education National survey was conducted and information from
learners, parents, teachers, school managers, educational administrators, tertiary institutions traditional leaders civic leaders and various stakeholders in
education was collected to help design a relevant curriculum.

The recommendations provided by various stakeholders during the Upper Basic Education National survey of 2005 and National symposium on curriculum
held in June 2009 guided the review process.

The review was necessitated by the need to provide an education system that would not only incorporate latest social, economic, technological and political
developments but also equip learners with vital knowledge, skills and values that are necessary to contribute to the attainment of Vision 2030.

The syllabus has been reviewed in line with the Outcome Based Education principles which seek to link education to real life experiences that give learners
skills to access, criticize analyze and practically apply knowledge that help them gain life skills. Its competences and general outcomes are the expected
outcomes to be attained by the leaners through the acquisition of knowledge, skills, techniques and values which are very important for the total development
of the individual and the nation as a whole.

Effective implementation of Outcome Based Education requires that the following principles be observed: clarity of focus, Reflective designing, setting
high expectations for all learners and appropriate opportunities.

It is my sincere hope that this Outcome Based syllabus will greatly improve the quality of education provided at. Grades 1 – 4 as defined and recommended in
various policy documents including Educating Our Future`1996 and the `Zambia Education Curriculum Framework 2013.

INTRODUCTION

Creative and Technology Studies Syllabus is the combination of Physical Education, Music, Art and Design, Home Economics, Design and Technology and
Information and Communications Technology. This Learning Area is about being creative in finding appropriate solutions to human problems and meeting
our needs. Therefore, Creative and Technology Studies, more than any other learning area prepares learners for the world of work. It places emphasis on the
development of practical skills and enhancement of talents, creativity, self-expression and sense of aesthetic.

With this in mind, it is important that the subject is introduced to learners at a tender age. This is the best time because at this age, learners have delight in
exploring their surroundings; enjoy making, dismantling, examining and experimenting things. In this regard, designing and making is the main thrust of
the subject because it provides an opportunity for learners to use available materials, put their capability to work and to develop products that meet their real
needs and wants.

The four (4) main components of Creative and Technology Studies are outlined below.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
1 DESIGN AND This component will focus on the application of knowledge and use of available resources to meet
TECHNOLOGY people’s needs by developing practical solutions to problems. At the heart of this, is the identification
of problems through open–ended problem solving approach.
2 INFORMATION AND One of the features of the rapidly changing world is the accumulation of information that has an impact
COMMUNICATIONS on all aspects of modern life. Therefore, learners need to be equipped with skills and knowledge to be
TECHNOLOGY accessing and working with various forms of information and data.
3 HOME ECONOMICS This component mainly aims at preparing the pupils for self-survival, self-reliant and life in general.
Hence learners will be helped to acquire and develop practical skills and knowledge.
4 EXPRESSIVE ARTS The Expressive Arts component is the combination of Physical Education, Music, Art and Design. It
places emphasis on the development of practical skills and enhancement of talents, creativity, self -
expression, life skills and sense of aesthetic.

Thus, the purpose of Creative and Technology Studies is to provide learners opportunities to:
Ÿ develop and apply scientific skills to solve technological problems;
Ÿ appreciate the interaction between people's values and attitudes, technology, society and the environment
Ÿ understand the concepts and knowledge used in technology and use them responsibly and purposely
Ÿ exploit locally available natural resources, materials to satisfy mans' needs and desires.

vii CREATIVE AND TECHNOLOGY STUDIES SYLLABUS - Grade 1 to 4

RATIONALE OF CREATIVE AND TECHNOLOGY STUDIES
Creative and Technology Studies will develop learners who will have:
Ÿ the power of observation, attention to detail, creativity, imagination, self-expression and endurance.
Ÿ an ability to solve problems by investigating, designing, developing, evaluating as well as communicating effectively using different modes
Ÿ a fundamental understanding of an ability to apply technological knowledge, skills and values, working as individuals and as a group
Ÿ a critical understanding of the relationship between technology, society, the economy and the environment
Ÿ a motivated and deeper appreciation for self-employment career opportunities, develop entrepreneurial characteristics and qualities for successful
pursuit
Ÿ an appreciation for using Information Technology tools and information sources such as computer systems and software packages to support learning in
a variety of ways.

SUGGESTED TEACHING METHODOLOGY

The approach to teaching and learning is the learner-centred. Therefore, in order to develop learners with understanding, skills and values that can contribute
to the development of society, the starting point for teaching and learning is to recognize that learners come to school with a wealth of knowledge and
experience gained from the family, community and through interaction with the environment. Thus, learning in school must build on the learner's prior
knowledge and experience.

This is best achieved when learners are actively involved in the learning process through hands on activities. However, each learner has individual needs,
pace of learning, experiences in life and abilities. To accommodate this, the teacher must determine the needs of the learners, and shape the learning
experiences accordingly. Therefore, teaching methods must be varied but flexible within well-structured sequences of lessons and should include among
others:
Ÿ Working in Pairs
Ÿ Group work
Ÿ Individual Work
Ÿ Field trip Method
Ÿ Project Method
Ÿ Discussion Method
Ÿ Guest Speaker
Ÿ Demonstration Method
Ÿ Team Teaching
Ÿ

CREATIVE AND TECHNOLOGY STUDIES SYLLABUS - Grade 1 to 4 viii

The teacher should have reasons for choosing a particular teaching method and must employ strategies and techniques to make the lesson interesting.

The syllabus outlines the learning outcomes. Thus, the teacher must decide, in relation to the learning outcomes to be achieved, when it is best to let learners
discover or explore information for themselves; when they need directed learning; reinforcement or when the learners can be allowed to find their own way
through a topic.

In this way, outcomes can be attained in a spiral manner considering that in any lesson, different outcomes can be covered through knowledge, skills and
values. The objective is to ensure that learners are able to apply the knowledge gained in real life situations.

TIME ALLOCATION
The standard period allocation for Creative and Technology Studies at Lower Primary School level has been prescribed in the Zambia Education
Curriculum Framework (ZECF) of 2013. The minimum learner-teacher contact time from Grade 1 to 4 is three (3) hours per week, translating into
four (4) periods. The duration for a single period is 30 minutes.

While information on the teaching of different skills, resources, teaching methods and evaluation would be found in the Teacher's Guide, teachers should be
mindful of the Specific Outcomes which are preceded by the General Outcomes that are found in this syllabus. Therefore, scheming should be based on the
Specific Outcome. In most cases, more lessons will be required before achieving a certain Specific Outcome.

ix CREATIVE AND TECHNOLOGY STUDIES SYLLABUS - Grade 1 to 4

OUTLINE OF THE SYLLABUS
This syllabus seeks to instill a sense of appreciation of technology education to ensure that learners adapt and cope with changing situations. It will also
provide learners with broader concepts and principles in Technology, which will allow them to expand their thinking capacity to tackle real-life situations
effectively.

The topics, sub-topics and outcomes are arranged in order for easy of reference. Some topics may be similar at both lower and upper sections, but the levels
of knowledge, skills and values to be attained are not the same. Hence, when preparing lessons teachers should strive at building on what the learners already
know.

The syllabus has been outlined in such a manner that all the components of the subject (Information and Communication Technology, Home Economics,
Music, Art and Design, Physical Education and Design and Technology) are taught in an integrative manner from Grade 1 to 4 by one teacher. The teacher
should be conversant in all areas and lay a firm ground in the learners. However, it envisaged that each school will have separate special rooms for all the
components where learners will have to go and learn as soon as they get to Grade 5. This will provide learners with an opportunity for hands-on activities.
