Abstract

Globally, there has been a breakdown in the area of science education; therefore there is a great need for curriculum reform so that the vision and mission will be clearly stated and that the stakeholders will be fair when redesigning the curriculum so that it satisfies the needs of students. There have been recommendations for education programs emphasized issues, such as updated scientific and technologic knowledge, application of contemporary learning theory and teaching strategies” (Bybee & McInerne, 1995). Also, there is a consensus amongst science teachers that students’ study too many areas, without enough depth in each, therefore, a reform of the curriculum is of great need. Rodger W. Bybee of The National Academy of Science also reveals that the level of support for curriculum reform is unprecedented in the history of American education. Additionally, the curricula in middle schools contain too many disconnected themes. In addition, each topic is given equal priority which discourages the in-depth study of foundational topics. It is therefore recommended a revised curriculum that emphasizes a more practical set of foundational themes and concepts are needed in the study of science. For this study, the researcher used a combination of methods to gather data that was then analyzed. Questionnaires, surveys and observation were the channels to acquire information. The purpose of the study is to examine if education and curriculum reform can impact the way we learn, and how. The analyzed data will be used for further research as well as to influence curriculum reform in educational systems.

Abstract

In Trinidad and Tobago, crime is escalating among our youths. These youths are teenagers who should be in school acquiring an education.  Teenage crime is a name given to the crimes that are committed by people who are under the age of eighteen (18).  In Trinidad and Tobago, most of the violent crimes are committed by children under the age of eighteen, who are either in school or have dropped out. Crimes committed mostly by teenagers include theft, assaults on other teenagers, gang violence, and even murder. Some of these juveniles are before the court defending themselves against crimes that they have committed, while others are in prison serving their sentences. Many of our youths are giving into social problems and neglecting the importance of their deviant behaviours. Social problem is a global epidemic that is affecting persons from all background, culture, race, age and belief. There have been patterns of negative behaviours among students in Tobago and it is becoming uncontrollable. Therefore, the aim of this study is to acquire information that can be used to help curb those unacceptable behaviours. Questionnaires were the method used and they were administered throughout the island of Tobago to persons belonging to different age groups. Based on the information gather and the findings, recommendations were suggested as a way of building better communities and a better Tobago. The purpose of this study is to explore social problems within Tobago and to identify the ways in which the youths are affected and by extension, the communities.
