Abstract
This evaluation of the West Indian Science Curriculum Innovation Project (WISCIP) and the Science Education Project at Mona, Jamaica tested pupils following each pilot curriculum against pupils from non-pilot schools. Results indicated that the pilot curricula had a significant beneficial effect in Barbados and Jamaica in general. However, WISCIP pupils in junior secondary and comprehensive schools in Barbados, and Mona pupils in Jamaica, performed no differently from non-pilot pupils. There was no significant difference among most territories using WISCIP except that Jamaican performance was relatively high and St. Vincent performance was relatively low
