Below are just some of the factors causing most of the teacher\u2019s challenges in teaching science:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The overloaded interdisciplinary curricula,<\/li><li>Lack of competence in the areas included in the curriculum,<\/li><li>Teaching new topics for the first time, and<\/li><li>How to answer difficult questions that students ask genuinely.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to overcome these deficiencies, the teacher should try the following practices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>to read regularly and study new topics in order to keep updated. The teacher needs to read the latest subject manuals issued by the government.<\/li><li>the teacher needs to share his\/her knowledge with the colleagues, pupils, parents and local experts who can give new perspectives. Joint planning and staff meetings would be helpful.<\/li><li>Continuous Professional <a href=\"https:\/\/support.centreforelites.com\/en\/definition-of-growth-and-development\/\">Development<\/a> (CPD) meetings will equally be helpful.<\/li><li>After lesson preparations, it is always appropriate to rehearse. This leads to gaining confidence, especially if it involves demonstration or an experiment.<\/li><li>In order to avoid embarrassing questions, teachers should try to think ahead about questions pupils might ask. They should equally consider turning difficult questions into learning experience in order to involve the pupils in finding the answers for themselves.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Science education&nbsp;is a way of leading out (from educere, meaning,&nbsp;to lead out) the learner into inquiry (quaere, which
