我们探讨了五名新获得资格的教师(NQT)在教与学情况下面临的挑战，以及他们如何应对挑战。这些老师在初中教授综合理科(JHS；12-15岁)。通过观察、访谈、内容分析等方法收集数据。我们使用了归纳和演绎的分析方法，我们发现NQT面临着以下挑战：(A)缺乏教学资源，(B)时间管理，(C)内容知识不足，(D)学生无法理解所教的内容，(E)学生不守纪律，(F)学生对科学缺乏兴趣，(G)他们无法完成综合科学教学大纲。缺乏资源和内容知识不足的挑战贯穿于所有NQT。他们用来解决挑战的一些方法是(A)即兴制作设备，(B)修改他们的教学，以及(C)与家长交谈。会议建议，除其他事项外，应向基础学校提供设备/材料，并建议职前培训应使未来的教师掌握技能，帮助他们面对挑战。
We explored the challenges that five newly qualified teachers (NQTs) faced in the teaching and learning situation and how they addressed their challenges. The teachers taught integrated science at the Junior High School (JHS; ages 12-15 years). Data were collected through observation, interview, and content analysis. We used the inductive and deductive analytic methods, and we found out that the NQTs faced the following challenges among others: (a) lack of resources for teaching and learning, (b) time management, (c) deficiency in content knowledge, (d) their students’ inability to understand the lessons taught, (e) student indiscipline, (f) lack of their students’ interest in science, and (g) their inability to complete the integrated science syllabus. The challenge of lack of resources and deficiency in content knowledge cut across all the NQTs. Some of the methods that they used to solve their challenges are (a) improvising equipment, (b) modifying their teaching, and (c) talking with parents. It was recommended, among other things, that the basic schools should be supplied with equipment/materials and also that preservice training should equip prospective teachers with skills to help them face their challenges.
