| Abstract | Zambia is divided into nine educational regions namely Lusaka, Central, Copperbelt, Northwestern, Western, Southern, Eastern, Northern, and Luapula region (MoE, 1996). Each region is further divided into Districts. The region is headed by the Provincial Education Officer (PEO) and the district is headed by the District Education Board Secretary. The number of districts varies from region to region. Luapula region has nine districts, one of which is Samfya. There are many different types of schools in Samfya district, namely 5 Preschools, 106 Basic Schools and 4 High schools. Basic Schools offer grades one to nine, while High Schools provide high school education comprising grades ten to twelve (MoE, 1996). Science occupies an important place at various levels of the educational system in Zambia. At lower and middle basic school level pupils are exposed to integrated science which aims at helping them develop scientific skills, knowledge and altitudes (CDC, 2003). The integrated science syllabus requires teachers to use activity based approaches that enhance pupil’s creativity, analysis and problem solving in and outside the classroom (CDC, 2003, MoE, 2000). The integrated science is usually taught by teachers who have been trained to teach all the subjects at lower and middle basic school. |
