This study investigates challenges in understanding the mole concept among pre-service teachers Ghanaian Colleges of Education. Chemistry education is fundamental for fields such as medicine and engineering, yet students often face difficulties due to inadequate foundational knowledge ineffective teaching methods. The crucial grasping various chemical phenomena, but its complexity frequently results significant learning challenges. employs a mixed-method explanatory design, combining quantitative diagnostic tests qualitative interviews with 1,211 from six selected colleges. identifies key concept, including translating word problems into equations, determining ratios, deriving empirical molecular formulae, relationship between stoichiometric coefficients moles. analysis categorizes these comprehension, transformation, process skills, encoding errors, skills transformation being most prevalent. Findings reveal that many struggle solve without highlighting lack conceptual understanding. Interviews confirm data, indicating rely on rote memorization rather than grasp. concludes improvements methods are needed, emphasizing importance over recommending small group collaborative learning. Contributions include filling gaps literature regarding teachers’ suggesting practical recommendations enhancing chemistry education.
