	England  biology objectives	cognitive	affective	Psyco motor
	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 • recognize 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.	X X	X	X X
	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.	X	X X	X X X
	3. develop attitudes relevant to biological science such as: • a concern for accuracy and precision • objectivity • integrity • a spirit of enquiry • initiative • inventiveness.		X X X X X X
	4. stimulate interest in, and care for, the local and global environment and help learners to understand the need for conservation.		X
	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.

Objective of teaching biology in different countries.

Describing above chart Sri Lanka has a more knowledge based objectives. But England use more affective   domain. Malaysia and Singapore have balanced biology objectives. So we can think we also should be changed current curriculum. If not we face to big problem in the future job market, day today life. Sri Lank a curriculum reformers and policy makers not collect properly teachers idea Then occurring some problems and issues.
