Perception of Elementary Schools Teachers about Effectiveness of Single National Curriculum in Science Subject at Elementary Level
This study investigates the effects, challenges, and teaching practices related to the implementation of the Single National Curriculum (SNC) in elementary-level science education. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from public and private school science teachers through a structured questionnaire. The results showed broad teacher support for the SNC, recognizing its potential to enhance student engagement through learner-centered methods. However, major challenges included frequent teacher absenteeism (M = 4.8), limited laboratory resources (M = 4.6), and curriculum rigidity (M = 4.4). A significant positive correlation was found between teachers’ recognition of the SNC and their satisfaction with it (r = 0.68, p = 0.001). While the SNC offers promising opportunities for improving science education, its success hinges on increased curricular flexibility, improved teacher adaptability, and robust capacity-building initiatives.
