    Lower secondary science teaching and learning: A glimpse into the science classroom
    (School of Education, UWI, St. Augustine, 2003-12) Herbert, Susan M.; Rampersad, Joycelyn; Akinmade, Christopher; Maharaj-Sharma, Rawatee
    This is an exploratory study of a sample of 31 lower secondary science classrooms, representing the range of school types within the educational system in Trinidad and Tobago. It sought to answer the following questions: 1) What are teachers' intentions when they plan and implement science lessons? 2) Do teachers encounter any problems as they enact the curriculum? and 3) What strategies are being used to implement the lower secondary science curriculum? Specifically, the study sought to investigate the processes and activities that teachers engage in as they plan for and implement the lower secondary science curriculum, in order to document what was happening and to offer suggestions for improving practice in lower secondary science education

    Lower secondary science teaching and learning: An inventory of science apparatus and materials
    (School of Education, UWI, St. Augustine, 2003-12) Rampersad, Joycelyn; Herbert, Susan M.
    This is a survey of the apparatus and materials to support lower secondary science in 54 of the 115 schools that existed at the time the research was undertaken. The sample reflects approximately equal percentages of the various school types. The study sought to obtain an overall picture of the availability and adequacy of resources to support practical work, and to obtain some information about the challenges or problems faced by lower secondary science teachers in their attempts to use or access resources for practical work

    Lower secondary science teaching and learning: Teachers' characteristics and perspectives
    (School of Education, UWI, St. Augustine, 2003-12) George, June M.
    This study sought to gain a fuller understanding of the characteristics of the teachers engaged in teaching science at the lower secondary level in schools in Trinidad and Tobago, as well as some of the perspectives of these teachers with respect to the teaching of lower secondary science. It also sought to determine what gains, if any, had been made in the eight-year period since a study with somewhat similar aims had been undertaken, with respect to the quality of the provision for the teaching and learning of science at this level
