ESSENCE STATEMENT

Physics is a body of knowledge exploring the theories, principles and laws that govern natural phenomena observed in the physical environment. The subject builds on the competencies introduced at Junior Secondary School level under the learning area of Integrated Science. In vision 2030 and sessional papers No. 1 of 2005 and No. 1 of 2019, the importance of science, technology and innovation has been prioritized for human capital development through education and training. Therefore, Physics forms an integral part of the STEM subjects in the Basic Education Curriculum Framework. It employs a scientific methodology of study with an emphasis on experimental approach to investigation, enhancing understanding of fundamental scientific concepts and principles. This leads to the acquisition of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values through precise and accurate scientific processes. The subject provides the learner with opportunities to develop competencies by empowering them to be creative and innovative, leading to independent approaches in problem solving and management of their environment. It also prepares learners for further training and the world of work by providing careers in STEM related pathways. The content will be anchored on Kolb Theory of Experiential Learning and Constructivism theory for teaching and learning.
