This study dealt with the scientific literacy of Grade 9 (K to 12 Curriculum) and fourth year students (RBEC) of the Nueva Vizcaya State University-Laboratory High School SY 2014-2015, based on learning competencies in basic Biology. It aimed to determine the level of fundamental and derived scientific literacy of the students, the differences betw...
Action research is deemed an important process in successful teaching. In fact, basic education teachers in the Philippines are encouraged, if not required, to do periodic action studies to improve the teaching and learning process in the classroom. It has been observed, however, that in-service teachers were unable to deliver said output in spite...
This study aims to promote Science Investigatory Project (SIP) as it is considered one of the manifestations of scientific literacy. These SIPs are presented in National Science and Technology Fair (NSTF), a national competition participated by 17 regions in the Philippines and organized by the Bureau of Curriculum Development. Entries are pre-dete...
Action research is one of the major requirements of the Bachelor’s degree in Education. Based on my preliminary study, my students both from the Bachelor in Elementary Education and from Bachelor in Secondary Education programs have difficulties in accomplishing their Action Research.
The Plan-Do-Study-Act Model is used by professional teachers in...

The COVID-19 worldwide outbreak drove all educational institutions to enforce school closures and sought alternative ways to sustain education. In response, the Philippine Department of Education initiated social distancing measures, transitioned the curriculum to the Most Essential Learnin...
Science Investigatory Project (SIP) is one of the manifestations of scientific literacy. These SIPs are presented in National Science and Technology Fair (NSTF), a national competition participated by 17 regions in the Philippines and organized by the Bureau of Curriculum Development. An explanatory method of research analyzes the factors affecting...

One of our local industry is citrus fruits production. In our university, we have food and natural products technology centers that process these citrus fruits into wines, jam, and soap among others. In this regards, we can use also these procedures to teach science concepts like fermentation/anearobic respiration, anti-bacterial agents, and saponification processes. While we are integrating these procedures in our science teaching, we can promote our own local industry.
In your country or locality, what are the effects of local industry integration in education?
In the Philippines, some (if not most) of the science concepts are contextualized to promote local industry. Example is in ecology, the local industry of rice planting involves pest or insect control. The teacher can illustrate the roles of natural enemies and parasitoids to control the pests that could harm the rice plants.
In your country, what are your strategies that involve education in the promotion of your local industry and products?
The Inquiry-based Learning (IBL) approach involves various levels: Confirmation, Structured, Guided, and Open Inquiry. This approach is suitable for laboratory teaching.
Please recommend some of your strategies/researches that employ IBL approach in teaching the science course.
How is it effective? Are there problems you encountered while implementing?
Example:
Our citrus industry can be related to the concept of ecosystem in Biology course. Here, I can explain that the citrus tree is a home to various insect and a substrate to some mosses; in which these insects and mosses may develop ecological relationship with one another.
If you can share me teaching materials or researches that relates science teaching with your local industry, that would be of great help to my study as well.
Example:
1. You use Material 1 in Biology and after using it, you recycle it in Chemistry to come up with Material 2.
2. You use Material 1 in Biology and then its product is used in Chemistry, Physics, Earth Science.
3. Or any related activities that make use of similar or related ideas.
If you can share also your related studies, I highly appreciate it. Thanks!
I am currently working on instructional materials that are zero-waste or that can help reduce wastes in science laboratory activities. To share your journals, articles, and research/es to help me in my study is highly appreciated. Thanks!
