Obstacles to Teaching Science in Primary School and Strategies to Overcome Them

Abstract

This paper addresses primary school teachers' challenges in teaching science and provides practical strategies for overcoming the obstacles. Science education plays a crucial role in developing critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and scientific literacy, which are essential for students in the 21st Century. However, teaching science in primary schools can often be hindered by a lack of resources, teacher training, and student engagement. This paper will explore the current research on these challenges and provide evidence-based strategies for overcoming them. By implementing these strategies, teachers can create an environment that promotes student engagement and supports their learning of science.
