Recent researches findings indicate that most integrated science teachers still hold on to the instrumentalists' view that: integrated science is looked upon as consisting of an unrelated collection of facts, rules, skills and processes to be memorized. The general objective of this study is to know the factors associated with the mass failure of students in integrated science in secondary schools in Gwale local government area.
