Сравнителен анализ на учебните програми по биология и здравно образование за профилирана подготовка – „стара“ (2000 – 2018 г.) и нова парадигма (от 2018 г.)
Comparative analysis of the curricula in biology and health education for the upper secondary level preparation – “old” (2000 – 2018) and new paradigm (from 2018)

Summary/Abstract: Public discussions raise the question of whether the volume of knowledge, skills and competencies required in the upper secondary level preparation, particularly in biology and health education, leads to cognitive overload of students. The purpose of this study is to compare the current curriculum for upper secondary level preparation biology in biology and health education (approved in 2018, effective from the 2020/2021 academic year) and the curricula that were in effect in the period 2000 – 2020 (for second level and upper secondary level). The method used is a documentary review and comparative analysis of the curricula. The theoretical analysis focuses on similarities and differences in terms of regulatory framework, structure and modules, timetable and distribution of hours, derivation of expected results and elective modules. The comparison between the old curricula in biology and health education for second level and upper secondary level preparation and the current specialized training program from 2020 shows a clear conceptual and structural transformation in the approach to training and education. The thesis has been theoretically derived and defended that the current program is not simply an updated version, but a complete conceptual rethinking of the goals, content and pedagogical philosophy of biology and health education – second high school stage.
