Abstract

The heightening public apprehension about instructional deliveries and the learning of science in Ghanaian schools have taken a different dimension as many shareholders keep interrogating the Government's pledge to ensure equity and quality science education for primary schools in the country. The study explored and defined the standing and quality of teaching, learning, and assessment of science and technology while finding the challenges faced by science educators at the JHS level in selected schools in the Ashanti region. The study randomly sampled science teachers' views and students in 27 schools from the 27 districts in the Ashanti Region in Ghana. Fourteen (14) and thirteen (13) schools were sampled from rural and urban areas. It was found that Government inadequately funds most schools. As a result, few qualified science teachers can handle the integrated science topics, among many other setbacks. It was concluded that the lack of infrastructure, TLMs, and other factors make the teaching and learning of science practically impossible. These challenges can be mitigated when specific, well-defined measures such as the provision of required infrastructure, teaching, learning materials (TLMs), and a few more are urgently implemented.

Abstract

This study examines what science teachers think about Sustainable Development and its' Goals, how they integrate SDGs into their science lessons, and how the covid-19 pandemic affects their thoughts about Sustainable Development. The study group was selected by convenience sampling from 51 middle schools in the central district of one of the big cities. The questionnaire, including five open-ended questions, was prepared and checked by two experts. After their feedback, it was re-corrected and then applied to the participants. It was conducted using the "Google Forms" application. Then, it was delivered to 165 teachers’ e-mail accounts. Answering the questionnaire takes approximately 10-15 minutes for each participant. One hundred five teachers answered the questionnaire. The content analysis method was used to analyze data. The results showed that teachers mainly described Sustainable Development with the goal of "Responsible Consumption and Production", "Decent Work and Economic Growth", and "Quality Education". Half of the teachers are still trying to integrate SD using traditional science subjects strategies. And generally focused on science subjects of matter cycles, environmental problems, biodiversity, fuels, and domestic waste and recycling. In this process, their problems are usually intense curriculum, insufficient time, and attitudes of school administration.
