The aims below are not listed in order of priority. The aims of a course based on this syllabus should be to:
1 provide, through well-designed studies of experimental and practical biological science, a worthwhile
educational experience for all learners, whether or not they go on to study science beyond this level. In
particular, it should enable them to:
• become confident citizens in a technological world, with an informed interest in scientific matters
• recognise the usefulness, and limitations, of scientific method and its application in other subjects and in everyday life
• be suitably prepared for studies in biological science beyond Cambridge International A Level, in further or higher education, and for professional courses.
2 develop abilities and skills that:
• are relevant to the study and practice of biological science
• are useful in everyday life
• encourage efficient and safe practice
• encourage effective communication using universal scientific conventions.
3 develop attitudes relevant to biological science such as:
• a concern for accuracy and precision
• objectivity
• integrity
• a spirit of enquiry
• initiative
• inventiveness.
4 stimulate interest in, and care for, the local and global environment and help learners to understand the need for conservation.
5 promote an awareness that:
• scientific theories and methods have developed, and continue to develop, as a result of groups and
individuals working together, and that biological science overcomes national boundaries
• the study and practice of biology are affected and limited by social, economic, technological, ethical and cultural factors
• the applications of biological science may be both helpful and harmful to the individual, the community and the environment.
• The use of information technology is important for communication, as an aid to experiments and as a tool for interpreting experimental and theoretical results.
6 stimulate learners and create a sustained interest in biology so that the study of the subject is enjoyable
and satisfying.
