The study used a sample of 54 chemistry teachers  \nrandomly sampled from a list ofall eligible teachers in Gasabo. An  \nexplanatory sequential research design was adopted to collect and  \nanalyze the data. The quantitative data collected through the Likert  \nscale questionnaire were analyzed by using Excel 2016 and the Social  \nPackage for Social Science (SPSS). The qualitative data were  \nanalyzed by using interpretive and thematic analysis. The study  \nrevealed a substantial difference based on teachers' working  \nexperience and school type, favoring the most experienced teachers  \nand those in boarding schools. Key issues mentioned include a  \nscarcity and inadequacy of atomic model kits, insufficient skills on  \nhow to design these kits, and classroom size limits. The study  \nrecommends that chemistry teachers receive targeted training on the  \ndesign and effective use of atomic model kits, supported by  \neducational stakeholders such as the Ministry of Education, the  \nRwanda Basic Education Board (REB), school administrators, and  \nteacher training institutions. These stakeholders should prioritize  \ncontinuous professional development programs that build teachers’  \npractical and pedagogical competencies, aligning model-based  \ninstruction with the Competency-Based Curriculum. Such training  \nwould enable teachers to integrate atomic model kits more effectively,  \nfostering interactive, hands-on le","cbCaiq0EAT9URNpM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq0EAT9URNpM","pdf",365994,22,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Purpose of the study\n## Importance of atomic model kits\n## Background and rationale","[{\"question\":\"What does the study evaluate about chemistry teachers in Gasabo District?\",\"answer\":\"It evaluates teachers’ skills and their current level of using atomic model kits to teach chemical bonding and atomic structure.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research conducted and analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"A sample of 54 chemistry teachers was studied using an explanatory sequential design.
