The data shows that 80% of the respondents have very low chemistry background, and only 7% of the respondents have high chemistry background. The majority of science teachers handling grades 7-10 have the low level of Content Knowledge in Chemistry. Despite their possession of a degree, units in Master's, and substantial teaching experience, they are likely considered as beginners only, not content experts.
