Abstract	Science courses designed or adapted for use in developing countries at the upper primary or lower secondary levels of the school system seem rarely to meet criteria of relevance to the future lives of the majority of pupils. The objectives of many new programs that aim to promote the understanding and application of scientific principles are often undermined, which tends to favor the rote memorization of factual information. This research program explores the interrelations between policies to reform science curricula, and examination orientation and other factors which affect the successful introduction of innovative courses in these countries. Charts and figures illustrate the research findings. A select bibliography is included in the report. (Author/MA)
