Description
This study aims to analyze the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) physics curriculum in terms of its inclusion of the behavioral profile characteristics of a scientific literate. For this purpose, the “behavioral profile domain” part of the Citizenship Scientific Literacy (CSL) framework was used for the content analysis of the written curriculum and textbook. Results found that: IBDP physics is a curriculum with strong emphases on “social identity”, “evolving ability” and “drive to practice science” subheadings. Moreover, it has greater inclusion rates of the items; “ethics and intellectual honesty”, “responsible behavior”, “open-mindedness”, “autonomy”, “attainment value” and “intrinsic value”.
