They are the concept of science and technology, the meaning of technology Education, Non-professionalism of the teachers, Attitudes of teachers and students towards teaching and learning of science, teaching for understanding, financial constraint and feed back on student’s performance.
The design of the study is survey. The population of the study was 42,000 students. The sampling of the study was 900, the sampling techniques was random sampling. The instrument used to collect data is questionnaire. The instrument was validated by two experts in school of science Education. The reliability of the instrument was obtained using person correlation coefficient moment. The value obtained is 0.83; data was collected using the instrument. Data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The result showed that a good student can teach him or herself science and technology.
