摘要：This is an investigative and explorative study into the challenges of teaching Integrated Science in the public Junior High Schools in the Kwahu West Municipality. All the 60 Integrated Science teachers, as well as the eight circuit supervisors and science coordinators in the Municipality were purposively selected for the study. A descriptive survey design was used for the study. Data were collected with a set of questionnaire and an interview schedule and were analysed using frequencies, percentages and the independent sample t-test. The results indicated that the science teachers faced some challenges in dealing with the content of Integrated Science in the Junior High Schools. However, with the exception of the challenges relating to the understanding of professionalism, there were no significant differences in the challenges urban and rural teachers faced in the teaching of Integrated Science.
