Abstract

The Philippines consistently ranked bottom among different countries in international large-scale assessments. This stems from traditional teaching and lack of real-world application, affecting student engagement in science. Beyond structural reforms, students' long-term engagement in science may be increased by targeting these affective factors: science motivation (SM), science identity (SI), and science self-efficacy (SSE). Thus, this study investigated the Grade 10 students’ level among three variables and examined the influence of science motivation on students’ science identity, focusing on the mediating role of science self-efficacy. A descriptive correlational research design was utilized, and data were gathered from a random sample of 200 students using three adapted survey questionnaires: Science Motivation Questionnaire II, Students’ Science Identity Questionnaire, and Science Self-efficacy Scale. Mean and standard deviation uncovered that student’s level of SM, SI, and SSE are all high. Path analysis shows that the three variables have a strong positive predictive relationship. Mediation analysis further revealed that about 33.5% of the total effect is mediated by SSE, while 66.5% shows direct effect of SM to SI. The study found that SSE partially mediates the relationship between SM and SI, indicating that while motivation directly influence science identity, an increase in self-efficacy could further strengthen this connection. Teachers can enhance students’ science motivation and self-efficacy by incorporate hands-on activities, real-world applications, and success in scientific tasks, which increase their science identity.

Abstract

Scientific creativity is essential to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education; however, students’ creativity remains relatively low as revealed by international large-scale assessments, particularly in K-12 physics classrooms. Despite its importance, limited studies have examined the specific constraints that hinder the development of scientific creativity in the Philippine STEM contexts. This study aimed to identify the underlying constraints affecting teaching and learning of scientific creativity. An exploratory qualitative research design was employed. Semi-structure interviews were conducted with six STEM teachers, and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results from the analysis were substantiated by literature review for triangulation of qualitative findings. Three major themes emerged from the analysis: i) time constraints, which limit opportunities for inquiry, experimentation, and design-based activities; ii) curriculum constraints, characterized by congested and rigid curriculum with limited interdisciplinary integration; and iii) pedagogical and assessment constraints, marked by teacher-centered instruction and assessment practices that prioritize content mastery over creativity. These findings underscore the systemic barriers that restrict the cultivation of scientific creativity in classrooms. Consequently, the study suggests the need for greater curriculum flexibility, creativity-aligned pedagogy, and alternative assessment approaches to better support the development of scientific creativity among STEM learners.
