An investigation of the current challenges in the implementation of grade 11 chemistry laboratory work in three selected secondary schools in Eritrea
Abstract
dc:description.abstractThe study has attempted to investigate the current challenges in the implementation of Grade 11 chemistry laboratory work in three selected secondary schools in Eritrea. Specifically, the study has attempted to address the following questions: To what extent does Grade 11 chemistry laboratory work in the selected Eritrean secondary schools promote the achievement of Kerr's (1963) aims of practical work in school science, particularly in chemistry?. How adequate are the conditions of Grade 11 chemistry laboratory work in the selected Eritrean secondary schools?. What constraints/problems do Grade 11 chemistry teachers encounter in implementing and teaching laboratory work?. What challenges do Grade 11 chemistry teachers encounter in implementing and teaching laboratory work?. Data were collected through two instruments: questionnaires and interviews, conducted with various stakeholders viz: teachers, laboratory assistants, students and a member of the chemistry panel. The outcome of the data was analysed in terms of appropriate qualitative and quantitative descriptions.
