Read article at Massey Research Online:

Students鈥� achievement in senior secondary school science has been a concern in Samoa for a number of years. Mr Suaalii used a case study methodology (including, interviews, classroom observations, and samples of students鈥� work) to explore the teaching and learning processes that occur in three Year 12 chemistry classrooms in Samoa. He identified institutional and classroom factors, as well as Samoan cultural values, that acted as supports or barriers to students鈥� achievements. Urgent considerations of these factors is needed. Such consideration will assist the development of teaching and learning strategies to engage students in meaningful learning and enhance students鈥� understanding of concepts in science and its applications to real life situations.
