ABSTRACT
The study investigated how to improve the teaching and learning of Integrated Science practical in selected Senior High Schools in the Afadjato South District. The survey design was used for this study. The simple random sampling technique was used to obtain the sample size of 90 students and 6 Integrated Science teachers from the three selected Senior High schools, (Jibmass, Ve SHS, Leklebi SHS). The main instrument used for the study was questionnaire, interview and observation. Data collected were analyzed using SPSS Version 16.0, and converted into frequency count and percentages. The results of the study were presented using tables. The research finding shows the lack of adequate teaching and learning materials, and equipment for practical lessons. It also came out that some teachers use lecture method to teach instead of activity oriented method. Again, it was also recorded that some students had poor perception and attitude towards Integrated Science practical with the notion that it is difficult, time wasting and boring. The implications of the findings are that the future of science education in Afadjato South District is very bleak and that measures should be taken immediately to curb the situation. The Ghana Government, Ghana Education service, Afadjato South District Directorate of education, P.T.A. and students as well should come together to find lasting solutions to all the problems that make teaching and learning of Integrated Science practical difficult.
