Weakness & Remedies
- Limited knowledge about optical fibres, semiconductors, binding energy and interpretation and application of velocity-time graph;
- Inability to define terms correctly in Physics;
- Inability to handle correctly calculations involving numbers expressed in standard form;
- Lack of knowledge of the acronym LASER;
- No proper understanding of the mathematical relationship of acceleration and deceleration;
- Inability to explain why emf is induced in an a.c. generator when the coil is rotated.
Based on the observed weaknesses, the Chief Examiners recommended as follows:
- Teachers should discourage role learning;
- Classroom instructions should be backed up with appropriate demonstration;
- Teachers should expose students to more classwork and assignments;
- Teachers should upgrade their teaching skills to embrace modern methodology;
- Qualified Physics graduate should be employed by the government
