    QUESTIONNAIRE FOR JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL HEAD TEACHERS

    Dear Head teacher,

    The researcher is investigating the status of science practical lessons in about 59 public Junior

    High Schools (JHSs) within the K.E.E.A. Municipality. This questionnaire is therefore designed

    to measure and identify the reality on the teaching field to help advance the teaching and learning

    process of integrated science.

    This questionnaire is addressed to Junior High School (JHS) head teachers of public JHSs in the

    K.E.E.A. Municipal, Central Region of Ghana and seeks information about teacher’s academic

    and professional backgrounds, instructional resources, instructional practices and the impact of

    instructional practices on the outcome of learning. Your responses are very important to help this

    study on science practical lessons. Thus, your cooperation to answer all questions, your time,

    contribution and the efforts this study takes, will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for doing your best to complete the questionnaire.

    LESSONS.

    S/N ITEM SA A D SD

    My school provides all the resources for science practical


    1
    lessons.

    I am able to ensure that learners are assessed on science


    2
    practical lessons conducted

    My school has a structure dedicated for science practical


    3
    lessons

    The science curriculum determines how often science


    4
    practical lessons should be conducted.
    SECTION C - ORGANIZING SCIENCE PRACTICAL LESSONS

    S/N ITEM SA A D SD

    I always insist on science practical lessons for the learners in


    5
    my school.

    I ensure that my science teacher(s) organize science practical


    6
    lessons for learners at least once a week.

    I monitor and supervise science practical lessons of my


    7
    learners at least once a term.

    I give feedback to my integrated science teacher(s) after

    8 monitoring and supervising science practical lessons

    conducted.

    SECTION D - AVAILABLE INTERVENTIONS FOR JHS SCIENCE TEACHERS IN

    KEEA

    S/N ITEM SA A D SD

    Science teachers in my school attend workshops on teaching

    9 and learning of science and its practical component at least

    three times in a year.

    My school is implementing at least one of the many

    10 interventions (Improvisation, STEM, virtual lab, etc) for

    science practical lessons.

    The District Education Office supervises at least one science


    11
    practical lesson each term.
    My school receives feedback from the Municipal Education

    12 Office on monitoring and supervision of science practical

    The science teachers in my school have been given the


    14
    needed expertise to conduct science practical lessons.

    The school or Municipal Education Office provides support


    15
    for the conduct of science practical lessons every term.

    NGOs support the delivery of science practical lessons to the


    16
    learners of my school.

    SECTION F – RECOMMENDATIONS

    17 Science practical lessons are time consuming

    Science practical lessons are hindered by instructional


    18
    resources for demonstrations and students’ hands-on practice.

    There is the need for increased monitoring and supervision of


    19
    science practical lessons.
    Teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge on science practical
    20
    lessons should be improved through INSETS.

    There should be science centres created for clusters of schools


    21
    to serve science practical lesson needs.

    Head teachers and SISOs must ensure that learners are

    22 assessed practically in science during formative and

    summative assessments.
