Abstract
The study examined the perceived impact of the availability and utilization of science laboratory facilities on final-year pre-service science teachers'knowledge and attitudes toward improvisation in science at two public Colleges of Education in the Greater Accra Metropolis of Ghana. The findings revealed that there were moderate availability and fair utilization of science laboratory facilities at the Ada College of Education leading to a positive impact on the trainees'knowledge and attitudes toward improvisation in science. However, the inadequate availability and inefficient utilization of science laboratory facilities at the Accra College of Education has had a neutral impact on the trainees'knowledge and attitudes toward improvisation in science.It was recommended that Government of Ghana and other stakeholders in science education should provide modern and adequate laboratory facilities at the Accra and Ada Colleges of Education to ensure the production of competent science teachers to effectively teach science at the basic school level.
