Factors that impede the formation of basic scientific concepts during teacher training in GhanaSarfo, Solomon 02 1900 (has links)
The investigation aimed at identifying the factors that accounted for the teacher trainees’ low understanding of basic scientific concepts and the appropriate strategies needed to rectify these obstacles.
In this investigation thirty open ended questions were administered to test three hundred teacher trainees’ understanding of science concepts. Also, observations were conducted during science lessons to monitor the participation of trainees.
The teacher trainees’ poor background in science was identified.
Inflexible teaching methods such as lecturing and provision of pointers to correct answers by teachers contributed.
Teacher trainees lacked the necessary conceptual, logical and linguistic background, and the vocabulary to express themselves in English.
Most science lessons did not consider media integration, but were conducted through verbal communication. Teacher trainees employed ineffective study techniques in learning science.
Recommendations included reading assignments, laboratory work, media integration and the employment of effective study techniques in the teaching and learning of science. / Teacher Education / Thesis (M. Ed. (Didactics))
