Session 5 Flashcards
a list of all the courses of study offered by a
school or college
Curriculum
an approach to education that involves
regularly re-visiting the same educational topics over the
course of a student’s education
Spiral delivery
Teaching science in the Philippines bridges the gap
in understanding difficult concepts in a specific field
of study and the ideas that are being developed by
young minds in the locality.
Science itself, subjects learners in a broader
spectrum thus enabling them to create and enjoy
the principles governing life, technology and society
as a whole.
Science in the Philippine Set-up
What is the three major producers of education in the Philippines
- DepEd or Department of Education
- CHED or the Commission of Higher Education
- TESDA or Technical Education Skills Development Authority
provides the
country with the basic education curriculum;
DepEd or Department of Education
that is
responsible for the delivery of tertiary education and
approving programs to be offered in colleges and
universities a
CHED or the Commission on Higher Education
which is responsible in providing short courses
and technical education. Although with the three
branches of Philippine Education, it is the DepEd and
CHED that are responsible for the delivery of in-depth
science courses
TESDA or Technical Education Skills Development Authority
Science as subject starts on the kindergarten level with basic
health and scientific principles that can easily be grasped by
children with ages ______
5 to 6.
Concepts about earth, climate, plants
and animals comes in during grades ______ and gets more
complex as the level rises to intermediate
1 to 3
One of the changes which affected science education offered by
DepEd is the approach in teaching science for junior high school
which divides certain science subjects such as biology, chemistry
and physics into 4 levels distributed mainly within grades ______
7 to 10
What are the hindrances in the delivery of science education
- Lack of Facilities
- Lack of Time
- Lack of Highly Trained and Qualified Teachers
- Lack of Quality teaching Materials
- Overpopulation in classrooms
The deficiency of facilities in
schools gives Filipino students the disadvantage.
Some schools do have the needed facilities but
the access to it is very limited as they are
protecting the value of the equipment and to
avoid overuse, only few students can handle it.
Lack of facilities
Public schools for example do not have the
ability to provide one is to one ratio of
apparatus to students.
Lack of Facilities
– limited classrooms shorten the
time for subjects because of the need to do
shifting classes. Therefore, there is limited time
for students to explore science.
Lack of Time
– the quality of teachers in the Philippines might
be declining due to the ever changing
curriculum for each education program and the
lack of interest in pursuing graduate and post
graduate studies especially for those who are
already tenured in the public school sector.
Lack of Highly Trained and Qualified Teachers
- quality
materials for teaching such as modules,
reviewed and revised textbooks and updated
reference materials are of a scarce resource in
the Philippines. Besides from books, other
teaching materials are not of quality such as
teaching aids; boards, models, apparatus such
as microscopes and the likes.
Lack of Quality Teaching MAterials
the surge in the
Philippine population also affects the sector of
education in the delivery of instruction for science.
Overpopulation in classsrooms
The ideal classroom set-up for optimum science learning
is _____ and a maximum of_____ so that they
will have a hands-on experience and focused learning of
difficult principles in subject.
at least 20 | 30 students
But what is happening in the Philippines is the total
opposite for majority of public schools, which has a
range of _____ students per classroom,
which is not conducive for learning any subjects
45 to a maximum of 75
Program that provides institutional grant to
several HEIs in regions for S&T capacity
building. This grant will help in the
improvement of the institution’s S&T
programs and projects, infrastructure,
equipment, and human resource.
Niche Centers in the Regions for R&D(NICER) Program
This program helps in the upgrading of existing
facilities for R&D in several Research and
Development Institutions (RDIs) and HEIs.
Also, experts will be engaged in managing and
strengthening the research capabilities of HEIs
and RDIs.
R&D Leadership (RDLead) Program
In this program, funding will be given to HEIs
and RDIs to undertake research and
development after the private sector identified
the underlying problem in the community
Collaborative R&D to leverage Philippine Economy (CRADLE) Program
Thus,
the academe will provide the knowledge and
human resource while the industry will translate
their work into real life applications that will
provide new opportunities to Filipinos in
different new enterprises, industries, jobs and
solutions to several community and national
problems.
Collaborative R&D to leverage Philippine Economy (CRADLE) Program
A program that facilitates Filipino companies
in the acquisition of relevant and strategic
technologies that will help them in their
R&D activities.
Business Innovation through S&T (BIST) for Industry Program
