2. CONCEPTS OF SCIENCE EDUCATION
Science Education
— Focuses on teaching, learning and understanding science.
TeachIng Science
— Involves developing ways on how to effectively teach science.
Learning Science
— Includes both pedagogy and helping students understand and love science.
Understanding Science
— Implies developing and applying science- process skills and using science
literacy.
4. John Dewey
– emphasized the significance of using
the natural surroundings as an
educational tool for instructing students.
– nature must indeed furnish its physical
stimuli to provide wealth of meaning
through social activities and thinking.
6. Science education is crucial due to the vast scientific
knowledge it imparts, which prepares individuals to
thrive in our scientifically and technologically driven
world. Knight (1986) describes this era as the "age of
science," highlighting the importance of science
education in fostering a citizenry capable of meeting the
goals of science in society.
According to Knight (1986) and Tilghman (2005),
8. TAKING HIGH QUALITY NOTES
Science education serves a dual
purpose.
It imparts crucial concepts and
practical knowledge relevant to
daily life, including skills like
critical thinking and problem-
solving (Carale & Campo, 2003;
Meador, 2005; Worth &
Grollman, 2003).
Basic Education
Science education deals with developing
students’ understanding and appreciation
of science ideas and scientific works.
In College, you learn basic science as part
of your general education. College science
also trains future teachers, scientists,
engineers, and professionals in fields like
engineering, farming, medicine, and health.
The government offers scholarships to
motivate more students to study science.
Tertiary Education
9. Science Schools in the
Philippines
One outstanding program for science education
supported by the government is the establishment of
science schools in various parts of the country. There are
also several government programs implemented by the
Department of Education and few private schools for
science education.
13. A special program in the Philippines run by the government. It's
part of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and
it offers free scholarships to talented students in high school.
These scholarships focus on science-related subjects to
prepare students for careers in science. The program also
provides a dormitory for its students to stay in while they attend
school.
Philippine Science High School System (PSHSS)
14. The Special Science Elementary Schools (SSES)
Project is in pursuance to DepEd Order No. 73 s.
2008, and DepEd Order No. 51 s. 2010. This project
started in June 2007 with 57 identified elementary
schools that participated or were identified as
science elementary schools in the country.
Special Science Elementray Schools (SSES) project
15. 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 recognizes
the multiple intelligences of the learners:
▨ promote the development of lifelong learning skills; and
▨ foster the holistic development of the learners.
16. Grade I teaches Science and
Health for 70 minutes, longer
than other subjects.
Grades IV to VI extend this to
80 minutes, using various
teaching methods like
investigatory projects to
accommodate different
learning styles and needs.

theories adapted to foster the highest level of learning, creativity, and
productivity.
22. Central Visayan Institute Foundation
The school takes pride in its Research Center for Theoretical Physics
(RCTP) established in 1992, which organizes small international
workshops to foster the informal but intense exchange of ideas and
perspectives on outstanding problems in physics and mathematics.
23. SUMMAR
Y
Science education deals with the teaching
and learning of science and in helping the
public develop science literacy. This is
important in the promotion and development of
science and technology in the country.
Science education deals with the
development of People In Science, which is
the heart of science, technology, and society.
25. Indigenous Knowledge System
Indigenous Knowledge
— embedded in the daily life experiences of young children as they grow up.
— These students reside in a society deeply rooted in indigenous knowledge, with
their parents and elders as their initial instructors.
— Teaching methods are deeply ingrained in culture, seamlessly weaving lessons
with the surrounding environment.
These lessons is comprised with good values and life stories of people on their
daily life struggles.
Their views about nature and their reflections on their experiences in daily life are
evident in their stories, poems, and songs.
26. Some examples of indigenous knowledge that are
taught and practiced by the indigenous people are:
▨ predicting weather conditions and seasons using knowledge in observing
animals' behavior and celestial bodies;
▨ using herbal medicine;
▨ preserving foods;
▨ classifying plants and animals into families and groups based on cultural
properties;
▨ preserving and selecting good seeds for planting:
▨ using indigenous technology in daily lives;
27. ▨ building local irrigation systems;
▨ classifying different types of soil for planting based on cultural properties;
▨ producing wines and juices from tropical fruits; and
▨ keeping the custom of growing plants and vegetables in the yard.
28. Indigenous science is ancient knowledge
from indigenous cultures that teaches us
how to live in harmony with nature.
It's a treasure trove of wisdom about
ecosystems, the stars, and medicine that
still influences modern science and how
we care for our planet.
Indigenous Science
29. Indigenous Science
Indigenous Science is part of the indigenous knowledge system practiced
by different groups of people and early civilizations (Gribbin, 2001;
Mkapa, 2004; Sibisi, 2004).
– includes complex arrays of knowledge, practices, and representations that
guide human societies in their enumerable interactions with the natural milieu:
agriculture, medicine, naming and explaining natural phenomena, and
strategies for coping with changing environments (Pawilen, 2005).
– Ogawa (1995) claimed that it is collectively lived in and experienced by the
people of a given culture.
30. Indigenous Science
According to Cajete (2004), indigenous science includes everything, from
metaphysics to philosophy and various practical technologies practiced by
indigenous peoples both past and present.
laccarino (2003) elaborated this idea by explaining that science is a part
of culture, and how science is done largely depends on the cultural
practices of the people.
31. Identified by Johnston (2000)
Desirable values that are relevant or
consistent to scientific attitudes:
32. Motivatiing
attitudes
01 Cooperating
attitudes
02
03 Reflective attitudes
04
Practical
attitudes
These cultural beliefs therefore can be good foundation for developing
positive values toward learning and doing science and in bringing
science in a personal level.
34. Pawilen (2006) developed a simple framework for
understanding indigenous science.:
Indigenous Science
Uses Composed of
Traditional
Knowledge
Community
Culture and Values
Guided by
Science Process
skills
35. 1. Indigenous science uses science process skills such as observing.
comparing, classifying, measuring, problem solving, inferring,
communicating, and predicting.
2. Indigenous science is guided by culture and community values such as
the following:
▨ The land is a source of life. It is a precious gift from the creator.
▨ The Earth is revered as "Mother Earth." It is the origin of their identity
as people.
▨ All living and non-living things are interconnected and interdependent
with each other.
▨ Human beings are stewards or trustee of the land and other natural
resources. They have a responsibility to preserve it.
36. ▨ Nature is a friend to human beings it needs respect and proper care.
3. Indigenous science is composed of traditional knowledge practiced and
valued by people and communities such as ethno-medicine, indigenous
farming methods, and folk astronomy.
Indigenous knowledge has played a crucial role in the advancement of science
and technology in the Philippines, akin to how ancient civilizations contributed to
these fields.
It has aided in comprehending the natural world and addressing daily challenges.
UNESCO's 1999 Declaration on Science and Scientific Knowledge
acknowledges the historical significance of indigenous science in the realm of
science and technology.
37. —Kuhn (1962)
“Developmental stages of most
sciences are characterized by continual
competition between a number of
distinct views of nature, each partially
derived from, and all roughly compatible
with the dictates of scientific
observation and method...”
38. —Sibisi (2004)
“Indigenous science provides the basics
of astronomy, pharmacology, food
technology, or metallurgy, which were
derived from traditional knowledge and
practices.”
