Document from the year 2020 in the subject Didactics - Common Didactics, Educational Objectives, Methods, , language: English, abstract: Today science teaching and learning is among other points of focus in educational research worldwide. This is because low students’ achievement in science educational programs has remained a great concern for all and for a long time and science literate individuals make greater contributions towards development. In response, Uganda government among other strategies recommended paying higher salaries to all her scientists’ employees. Students’ science performance in northern Uganda primary teachers’ colleges persistently remained low for a long time in spite of several efforts made for improvement. Good science teaching which improves performance demands for a graduate teachers’ full understanding of characteristics of science knowledge. Characteristics of science refers to different ways by which science knowledge or information can be explained or described correctly, for example, science knowledge is subjective and tentative. This study therefore investigated levels of tutors’ understanding of characteristics of science knowledge, their educational qualifications and year one and two students’ performance in Kyambogo University promotional and final 2017 and 2018 science education examinations results. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results indicated tutors have recommended qualifications but lack understanding of characteristics of science knowledge and students’ performance is also low. The condition requires Kyambogo University to ensure immediate integration of science tutors’ training curriculum with the framework of ideas of characteristics of science knowledge. In addition, education managers should organize and plan for workshop training for tutors on characteristics of science knowledge.
