| Abstract: | The use of problem-solving in science instruction implies a change in the teacher's role from dispensing content information
to encouraging critical reflective thinking in the student. For problem-solving to become an integral part of the science
curriculum, teachers must make it the focus of their instruction. This study investigated the extent to which pre-service
primary teachers used the problem-solving approach in their science instruction. It also identified the factors affecting
their efforts to teach science using this approach. The issues considered are important in whether problem-solving becomes
part of the science curriculum, as teaching behaviour influences student learning outcomes.
