| Abstract: | Six beginning primary school teachers pioneering the Interactive Teaching approach to science were studied in their first
year of teaching. Interviews with the beginning teachers revcaled that they faced several obstacles to the implementation
of the interactive teaching of science. These included lack of collegial support, lack of feedback on their teaching, difficulty
assessing the learning of their pupils, and the differences between the culture of learning of the alternative science pedagogy
and that of their pupils. By the end of the year, teachers had reconstructed the alternative science pedagogy in ways that
reduced these difficulties. The interviews also provided evidence that ongoing support by teachers and teacher-educators versed
in the alternative pedagogy can make beginning teacher's implementation of the Interactive Teaching of science less difficult.
