Impact of Attires on Students’ and Teachers’ Performance in Science Laboratories

This paper describes how some of the students’ and teachers’ dressing styles effectively constitute a factor that impacts the teaching and learning of science and the safety of the students involved. In this research, students, teachers and some parents were targeted. They were either observed, interviewed or given questionnaires to obtain their views and experiences on this issue of dressing styles and safety in teaching science. Results showed that inappropriate attires were, to a greater extent, responsible for a variety of accidents that occurred in the science classes, thereby impacting students performance in science classes
