    NATIONAL EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY

    Education in Malaysia is an on-going effort towards further

    developing the potential of individuals in a holistic and

    integrated manner, so as to produce individuals who are

    intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and physically

    balanced and harmonious, based on a belief in and devotion

    to God. Such effort is designed to produce Malaysian

    citizens who are knowledgeable and competent, who possess

    high moral standards, and who are responsible and capableof achieving a high level of personal well-being as well as

    being able to contribute to the betterment of the family, the

    society and the nation at large.

    FOREWORD

    This revised Physics syllabus is designed to replace the existing syllabus which has been in use since

    the 2001 STPM examination. This new syllabus will be enforced in 2012 and the first examination

    will also be held the same year. The revision of the syllabus takes into account the changes made by

    the Malaysian Examinations Council (MEC) to the existing STPM examination. Through the newsystem, the form sixth study will be divided into three terms, and candidates will sit for an

    examination at the end of each term. The new syllabus fulfils the requirements of this new system.

    The main objective of introducing the new examination system is to enhance the teaching and

    learning orientation of form six so as to be in line with the orientation of teaching and learning in

    colleges and universities.

    The revision of the Physics syllabus incorporates current developments in physics studies and syllabus

    design in Malaysia. The syllabus will give candidates exposure to pre-university level of Physics that

    includes mechanics and thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, oscillations and waves, optics,

    and modern physics.

    The syllabus contains topics, teaching periods, learning outcomes, examination format, gradedescription and specimen papers.

    The design of this syllabus was undertaken by a committee chaired by Professor Dato Dr. Mohd.

    Zambri bin Zainuddin from Universiti Malaya. Other committee members consist of university

    lecturers, representatives from the Curriculum Development Division, Ministry of Education

    Malaysia, and experienced teachers who are teaching Physics. On behalf of MEC, I would like to

    thank the committee for their commitment and invaluable contribution. It is hoped that this syllabus

    will be a guide for teachers and candidates in the teaching and learning process.

    The Practical Syllabus

    School-based Assessment of Practical

    School-based assessment of practical work is carried out throughout the form six school terms for

    candidates from government schools and private schools which have been approved by MEC to carry

    out the school-based assessment.

    MEC will determine 13 compulsory experiments and one project to be carried out by the

    candidates and to be assessed by the subject teachers in the respective terms. The project will be

    carried out during the third term in groups of two or three candidates. Details of the title, topic,

    objective, theory, apparatus and procedure of each of the experiments and project will be specified in

    the Teachers and Students Manual for Practical Physics which can be downloaded from MECsPortal (http://www.mpm.edu.my) by the subject teachers during the first term of form six.

    Candidates should be supplied with a work scheme before the day of the compulsory experiment

    so as to enable them to plan their practical work. Each experiment is expected to last one school

    double period. Assessment of the practical work is done by the subject teachers during the practical

    sessions and also based on the practical reports. The assessment should comply with the assessmentguidelines prepared by MEC.

    A repeating candidate may use the total mark obtained in the coursework for the subsequent

    STPM examination. Requests to carry forward the moderated coursework mark should be made

    during the registration of the examination.

    The Physics practical course for STPM should achieve its objective to improve the quality of

    candidates in the aspects as listed below.

    (a) The ability to follow a set or sequence of instructions.

    (b) The ability to plan and carry out experiments using appropriate methods.

    (c) The ability to choose suitable equipment and use them correctly and carefully.

    (d) The ability to determine the best range of readings for more detailed and careful

    measurements.

    (e) The ability to make observations, to take measurements and to record data with attention

    given to precision, accuracy and units.

    (f) The awareness of the importance of check readings and repeat readings.

    (g) The awareness of the limits of accuracy of observations and measurements.

    (h) The ability to present data and information clearly in appropriate forms.

    (i) The ability to interpret, analyse and evaluate observations, experimental data, perform erroranalysisand make deductions.

    (j) The ability to make conclusions.

    (k) The awareness of the safety measures which need to be taken.

    The objective of the project work is to enable candidates to acquire knowledge and integrate

    practical skills in Physics with the aid of information and communications technology as well as to

    develop soft skills as follows:

    (a) communications,

    (b) teamwork,

    (c) critical thinking and problem solving,

    (d) flexibility/adaptability,

    (e) leadership,

    (f) organising,

    (g) information communications and technology,

    (h) moral and ethics.

    Written Practical Test

    The main objective of the written practical test is to assess the candidates understanding of practicalprocedures in the laboratory.

    The following candidates are required to register for this paper:

    (a) individual private candidates,

    (b) candidates from private schools which have no permission to carry out the school-based

    assessment of practical work,

    (c) candidates who repeat upper six (in government or private schools),

    (d) candidates who do not attend classes of lower six and upper six in two consecutive years

    (in government or private schools).(e) candidates who take Physics other than the package offered by schools.

    Three structured questions on routine practical work and/or design of experiments will be set.

    MEC will not be strictly bound by the syllabus in setting questions. Where appropriate, candidates

    will be given sufficient information to enable them to answer the questions. Only knowledge of theory

    within the syllabus and knowledge of usual laboratory practical procedures will be expected.

    The questions to be set will test candidates ability to:

    (a) record readings from diagrams of apparatus,

    (b) describe, explain, suggest, design or comment on experimental arrangements, techniques

    and procedures,

    (c) complete tables of data and plot graphs,

    (d) interpret, draw conclusions from, and evaluate observations and experimental data,

    (e) recognise limitations of experiments and sources of results,

    (f) explain the effect of errors on experimental results,

    (g) suggest precautions or safety measures,

    (h) explain theoretical basis of experiments,

    (i) use theory to explain or predict experimental results,

    (j) perform simple calculations and error analysis based on experiments.
