Lesson 3

Science Education in
the Philippines
Introduction:
The Philippines is trying its best to
improve the state of science
education in the country. This lesson
will discuss the concept of science
education and will identify some
strategies to promote science
education in the country. One of the
strategies is to establish science
schools that will encourage students
to pursue their career in science and
technology and to nurture their
gifted potentials in science.
Science education focuses on teaching, learning and understanding
science. This includes ways on how to effectively teach science -
exploring pedagogical theories and models in helping teachers teach
scientific concepts and processes effectively. The most interesting
aspect is helping students understand and love science.

Understanding science implies developing and applying science -


process skills and using science literacy in understanding the natural
world and activities in everyday life.
In basic education, science helps students learn important concepts and facts that
are related to everyday life including important skills such as process skills, critical
thinking skills, and life skills that are needed in coping up daily life activities.

In tertiary education, science education deals with developing students’


understanding and appreciation of science ideas and scientific works. This is done
through offering basic science courses in the General Education curriculum.

Philippine Science High School
System (PSHSS)

This is a government program for gifted students in the


Philippines. It is a service institute of the Department of Science
and Technology (DOST) whose mandate is to offer free
scholarship basis for secondary course with special emphasis on
subjects pertaining to the sciences, with the end-view of
preparing its students for a science career (Republic Act No.
3661). The school maintains a dormitory for all its students.

DOST
Special Science Elementary
Schools (SSES) Project
The Special Science Elementary School (SSES) Project is in pursuance
to DepEd Order No. 73 s. 2008, and DepEd Order No. 51 s. 2010.

The SSES Project aims to develop Filipino children equipped with


scientific and technological knowledge, skills and values. Its mission is
to:

provide a learning environment to science - inclined children


through a special curriculum that recognized the multiple
intelligences of the learners;
promote the development of lifelong learning skills; and
foster the holistic development of the learners.

Special Science Elementary
Schools (SSES) Project

The subject Science and Health is taught in Grade 1 with a


longer time compared to other subjects: 70 minutes for
Grade 1 to 3 and 80 minutes for Grades 4 to 6. The curriculum
also utilizes different instructional approached that address
the learning styles and needs of the learners like the use of
investigatory projects.
Central Visayan
Institute Foundation
It is the home and pioneer of he prominent school-
based innovation known as the Dynamic Learning
Program (DLP). The DLP is a synthesis of classical and
modern pedagogical theories adapted to foster the
highest level of learning, creativity, and productivity.

The school takes pride in its Research Center for


Theoretical Physics (RCTP) established in 1992, which
organnizes small international workshops to foster
the informal but intense exhange of ideas and
perspectives on outstanding problems in physics and
mathematics.
