AbstractThe study examined how teachers teach Biology practical lessons at Ordinary Level in Mzilikazi District Secondary Schools of Bulawayo Metropolitan Province. Qualitative approach and case study design were adopted. Data was collected using document analysis and semi-structured interviews conducted with purposively selected five Biology teachers, five Heads of Science Department from five schools, and one Science Subject Inspector. Data were thematically analysed. The study revealed that teachers used both teacher-centred and student-centred methods in teaching Biology practical lessons and various factors constrained the teaching of practical lessons. The study concluded that some Biology teachers in selected schools did not conduct practical lessons in line with the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education expectations. The study recommends that the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education should continue equipping teachers with knowledge and skills of teaching Biology practical lessons through workshops and other staff development programmes.

This research aimed to assess students’ perceptions regarding a multimedialearning laboratory, after experiencing biology classes that used a different teaching approach. The survey involved 159 students between 15 and 17 years old. The methodology combined quantitative and qualitative approaches and obtained results by using a questionnaire and by conducting interviews, respectively. Results indicate that students have good perceptions about the laboratory. They consider it as relevant, authentic, challenging, and useful, with fun and easy-to-use resources. They also point out that it provides opportunities for reflection about their own learning. Results further indicate that boys and girls have similar perceptions about the laboratory, and that students from different years of secondary education do not follow a pattern in their preferences.
