| Abstract: Teachers today are buffeted by many challenges all of which jointly operate to dampen their morale and lower their motivation to perform affectively on their jobs. This study was therefore prompted by the scientific demand of the 21st century to equip science teachers to face the challenges of the time, 200 science teachers and 200 science students randomly selected from the 5 states in the South-South zone in Nigeria were used for the study. Two separate questionnaire ESTACS and STMF developed using Likert 4-point scale were used to illicit information from science students and teachers respectively. Data collected were analyzed using mean. Result from the study showed that majority of the science teachers were not able to expose the students to the experiences they were expected to do, used few approaches in teaching, entered the class unprepared and engaged in other business apart from teaching profession.
