have difficulty for the following reasons: 1) they have not mastered the
concepts needed to answer the items; (2) they do not understand the problem;
and (3) the content related to some items is not formally taken up in the
curriculum. This implies that students do not master the concepts and lack
content is covered but not much learning takes place. It is for this reason why
the teaching of science must be student-centered and equipped with a variety
