Evoluția curriculumului la biologie: analiză retrospectivă și aspecte actuale [Articol]

Abstract

This article provides a historical analysis of the evolution of the Biology curriculum in the Republic of Moldova, from the postindependence period to the present day. The curricular editions from 2000, 2006, 2010, and 2020 are examined, highlighting their defining characteristics, along with conceptual, methodological, and assessmentrelated changes. In addition to the historical perspective, the study explores the current features of the curriculum, emphasizing new structural elements, targeted competencies, the organization of learning units, and types of assessment. The trajectory of transformations is thus outlined, marking the transition from a curriculum based on reference objectives to one oriented towards competencies, adapted to the demands of contemporary education. The paper offers a coherent overview of the directions of curricular modernization in biology education at the lower secondary level, aligned with national educational policies and international trends.
