Distance education is the education of students who may not always be physically present at a class room. The modern use of electronic educational technology (also called e-learning) facilitates in distance learning and independent learning by the extensive use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), replacing traditional content delivery by postal correspondence in general and for science discipline in particular. Science is an art related to field of study which draws upon many disciplines such as chemistry, physics, physiology, biology, hygiene, economics, rural development, child development, sociology and family relations, community living, art, food, nutrition, clothing, textiles and home management. The science, technology, society and environment education movement has a long history in science education reform, and embraces a wide range of theories about the intersection between science, technology and society. In delivering science courses by distance, a key challenge is to offer the learner an authentic and meaningful laboratory experience that still provides the rigour required to continue on in science. On developing strategies for successful Science and technology programme in Distance Education is to identify relevant mode to approach and to define and prioritize short and long-term objectives and the need to align the agenda with requirements. The present paper attempted to understand the challenges in Open and Distance mode with special reference to science subjects at KSOU and analyze the reasons in teaching science stream, and throw some light on the possible ways of solving the problems of ODL and encourage learner’s scientific mind.
