Abstract

Major objective of the study was to explore the influence of science educators on student’s scientific behavior and to explore the effectiveness of teaching science at elementary level by newly recruited science teachers. All the heads of Government schools where science educators are serving at elementary level and administrators of Education department, were included in the population. 80 administrators and heads of Government schools were selected by random sampling method. A questionnaire was used as the tool of research. Results revealed that newly Recruited Science Teachers do lesson planning to produce interest, level of comprehension, innovation, curiosity, practicability, innovative ideas, concept clarity, application of learn knowledge to get high order knowledge. A.V. Aids are used also. Reflective practice is encouraged in students, cooperation with colleagues have been better due to good arrangements in separate labs and the researcher recommends to education department that only trained teachers based on school subjects should be recruited in future.
