Research Paper (postgraduate) in the subject Pedagogy - School Pedagogics, , language: English, abstract: With the goal of enhancing science education and addressing poor performance in primary teacher colleges in Northern Uganda, this study explores the influence of tutors' understanding of the characteristics of science on their instructional roles and subsequently, science performance. Amid the global emphasis on science literacy skills as a fundamental goal of education, this research presents an unexplored case in Northern Uganda's eight primary teacher colleges. Prior studies affirm that a strong understanding of science's features among teachers significantly impacts student learning, a theory this research intends to investigate within the Ugandan context. In addition to presenting background information, the rationale, and significance of the issue, this study will delve into the research questions, related literature, conceptual framework, methodology, study population area, sample and sampling procedure, data collection and analysis, assumptions and limitations of the study, ethical considerations, and the research project time schedule.
