摘要：AbstractIn 2010 and as a part of the education system reform, Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC) launched the ‘New School Model’ (NSM) that aimed at providing high pedagogical standards and an outcomes-based curriculum. The science curriculum had to be taught through the medium of English and within a student-centered learning environment. A mixed-methods research design was used in this study and data was collected from 248 teachers in primary ADEC schools using an online survey. This paper identifies some of the challenges faced by teachers possibly hindering them from teaching science effectively and suggests recommendations for ADEC and for school administrators.
