Abstract

The outcomes were coded into dimensions based on descriptive analysis in the Revised Bloom Taxonomy. The study revealed that the outcomes framed for the 12th grade of 2013 biology curriculum were more diverse in comparison to the same grade of the 2017 and 2018 biology curriculums in terms of knowledge dimension.  There were number of outcomes were higher in the analysis and evaluation of cognitive dimensions in the 2013 biology curriculum compared to the 2017 and 2018 biology curriculum. While the 2018 biology curriculum for the 12^th grade have four outcomes for the creating level of the cognitive dimension, 2013 biology curriculum for the same grade did not include any outcome for the creating level of the cognitive dimension.In this study, the learning outcomes of 2013, 2017 and 2018 secondary biology programs were examined according to the revised Bloom Taxonomy and the distribution of the outcomes to the corresponding level was expressed in figures and graphics. A qualitative approach was employed through document analysis.

Abstract

The outcomes were coded
into dimensions based on descriptive analysis in the Revised Bloom Taxonomy.
The study revealed that the outcomes framed for the 12th grade of 2013 biology
curriculum were more diverse in comparison to the same grade of the 2017 and
2018 biology curriculums in terms of knowledge dimension.  There were number of outcomes were higher in
the analysis and evaluation of cognitive dimensions in the 2013 biology
curriculum compared to the 2017 and 2018 biology curriculum. While the 2018
biology curriculum for the 12^th grade have four outcomes for the
creating level of the cognitive dimension, 2013 biology curriculum for the same
grade did not include any outcome for the creating level of the cognitive
dimension.In this study, the learning outcomes of 2013,
2017 and 2018 secondary biology programs were examined according to the revised
Bloom Taxonomy and the distribution of the outcomes to the corresponding level
was expressed in figures and graphics. A qualitative approach was employed
through document analysis.
