- W3204010094 abstract "Senior secondary school pupils have, for some time now, exhibitedunsatisfactory performance in some chemistry topics that are perceivedas difficult to learn in their school certificate and General Certificate ofEducation (GCE) Examinations.This study was a survey and aimed at identifying topics pupils perceivedas difficult to learn in secondary school ‘O’-Level chemistry. It was conductedin 8 secondary schools in Kasama, Luwingu, Mbala and Mungwi districts.The study also established reasons for pupils’ learning difficulties. Eightheads of departments, 16 chemistry teachers and 221 secondary schoolpupils constituted the sample. Data were collected through questionnairesand semi-structured interviews. Heads of departments, chemistry teachersand pupils completed questionnaires. Sixteen (16) chemistry teachersand 68 pupils attended follow-up oral interviews. Qualitative data wereanalysed by noting patterns, themes and categories (Cohen & Morris,2008). Quantitative data captured in this study were analysed by makinguse of software, Excel. This analysis made use of descriptive statisticswhich involved: frequency tables, charts and percentages. Cohen & Morris(2008) recommend this and state that numeric data analysis can easily beperformed using software packages such as SPSS, Minitab or Excel. Resultsof the study revealed that the most difficult topics were: mole concept andstoichiometry, electrolysis, organic chemistry and Redox.The reasons for pupils’ challenges included: general learners’ difficultiesreferring to poor pupils’ mathematical skills, complex scientific terms andlanguage, lack of teaching and learning resources, lack of practical work oractivities and pupils’ poor attitude towards chemistry as a subject; teacher’sincompetence which embodies inadequate explanation, unsuitable pace ofdelivery, lack of knowledge, difficult language and terminology used andinexperience; inadequate infrastructure referring to lack of laboratoriesand equipment, apparatus and other materials, and unsuitable teachingmethods used as the only teaching methods used were ‘question and answer’sessions, group discussions, demonstrations and lectures." @default.
