| Abstract: | The study investigated the challenges facing the implementation of the Science Education Curriculum in the 18 Science and Mathematics Colleges of Education in Ghana. The purpose of the study was to determine whether the tutors implementing the curriculum are professionally qualified or not. It was also to investigate the challenges facing the implementation process. The study employed a survey research design and randomly sampled 100 Science Tutors from the 18 science and mathematics colleges of education in Ghana. A questionnaire on Challenges Facing Curriculum Implementation in Ghana (CFCIG) with a reliability coefficient of 0.72 and a structured interview guide were used to elicit responses from the sampled tutors. The interview guide was used to obtained information on tutor and technician qualifications in order to ascertain the caliber of tutors and technicians implementing the new curriculum. The data collected were analyzed using statistical tools such as histogram plots, means, standard deviation imbedded in the IBM-SPSS software. The study revealed that 92% of the Tutors are professionally qualified to implement the curriculum in the science Colleges while 88% of the laboratory technicians were not qualified to work as laboratory technicians in the science laboratories. The study highlighted lack of in-service training and poor conditions of service of science tutors, absence of qualified laboratory technicians to work in the science laboratories and overgrowing class sizes among others as the challenges facing the standard based curriculum. It was recommended that the government as well as stakeholders should provide the necessary infrastructure and human resources needed to make the implementation of the science curriculum a success. |
