N2 - The developments in biological education in Israel during the last 15 years have been characterized by two successive waves of innovation: first, the change from descriptive biology to the inquiry-centred teaching of major ideas and to a structured curriculum; and secondly, following on from these, the move toward a modular approach and a stronger emphasis on the relevance of the topics studied to students and society. These trends have occurred at all levels in schools. The success of these innovations is due to the integrated approach to curriculum diffusion and implementation made possible by the centralized educational system in Israel and the cooperation of the various educational agencies.
