Abstract

The current study was conducted to explore teacher’s perception of the role of communicating science to the school community at the secondary level in both private and government schools. For the current study, a qualitative research design was used to gather data. This study was a qualitative examination of qualitative opinions on the role of disseminating science in schools that was conducted without using experiments. Because of the nature of this research, the use of the qualitative technique was important in order to ensure that some additional observations were generated for certain fundamental goals.25 science teachers participated voluntarily in this research. In a present study among participants, 64% were females and the remaining 36% were male from both sectors of employment. Psychologists believe about 90% of all contacts are non-verbal and several reports showed that at least 75% of all communication in schools is not verbal. Therefore, it makes sense for instructors to take advantage of non-verbal contact in the classroom. To this end, the techniques and tactics utilized by a community of science teachers to incorporate and teach skills in an SC curriculum were investigated. Our results suggest that the justification of the educational paradigm has been grasped. Any of them custodial and developed their procedures according to their desires. Customizing teaching materials involves a profound knowledge of the essence of initial creativity and the social influences that shaped their design. Every instructor has a complex profile at the beginning of the research in interviews with professors. The secondary level teacher had faced various difficulties in science communication. To teach and communicate science is not so easy. At the school level, lack of facilities and technology, lack of experience of teachers, lack of interest of students, only oral communication, and lack of practical activities are the difficulties in communicating science. By developing the interest in science education in students and by making a proper environment for science communication, we can overcome these difficulties. They also agreed that science communication played important role in the life of the student. Furthermore, Science is more effective and useful for students in their practical life.
