dc.description.abstractIn higher education and in education generally, the quality of teaching and learning is paramount. Teaching and learning are key elements of any education system without which there is no legitimacy for any educational institution. In this research, quality teaching and learning of practical science discipline is the main focus against a backcloth of the rapid transformation sweeping the higher education sub-sector globally resulting into a situation of massification; where the ratio of educational resources and class numbers become incompatible, giving rise to the poor quality standard (Mohamedbhai, 2008). Furthermore, massification is assumed results into stressful learning conditions for both the lecturers and learner, and the loss of quality and or lowering of standards. Using qualitative and quantitative research paradigms, the survey, single-case and parallel cross-sectional designs, this study was done involving 294 respondents out of the 395 sampled populations. The sampling techniques used were purposive, random and stratified. Data was collected through closed ended structured questionnaires, oral interviews, direct observations, focus group discussions and search into archival records. Analysis was by use of descriptive statistics. Major findings indicated that the quality of teaching and learning in the science-based faculties at Gulu University is eroding because of massification and can be mitigated by effective teaching and learning.
