Printed by Educational Suppliers Limited in Singapore, this book served as a guide on modern teaching methodologies on science. It is explicitly mentioned on the cover that this book was specially tailored for Singapore Chinese-medium primary schools.Since the 1950s, there was a push for Chinese-medium schools to contribute towards the goal of an independent Malayan nation composed of people of many races but having a common loyalty. The government in Singapore also worked towards standardising the curriculum and making changes to the textbook content. Similarly, efforts were used to produce qualified teachers and improve their standards with such teaching guides.
