Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has taken aback everyone that led to living unexpectedly in an environment called the new normal. One of the sectors seriously affected by this health crisis is education. With no face-to-face classes until a vaccine has been discovered, the Department of Education-Philippines (DepEd) believed that education should continue in school year 2020-2021 through online and other alternative modalities. The teachers in a private sectarian school in Manila began preparing as early as June 2020 leading to the creation of a learning continuity plan. One of the subjects in the junior high school seriously affected in doing online teaching and learning is Science. This study aims to explore and understand the experiences and challenges of the junior high school Science teachers after one term or almost three months of teaching in the new normal. The study found out that Science teachers were prepared and the curriculum was modified. Instructional materials were enhanced and various challenges were met like student discipline, delivery and execution of learning tasks, limited time for the implementation of the competencies, and student participation. Keywords: teaching science online, challenges of online teaching, science teachers creativity, initiatives and opportunities.  DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpmipa/v21i2.pp146-162

Abstract

This descriptive study assessed the information and communications technology (ICT) integration in teaching Math and Science, and identified issues affecting technology integration. Nine Math teachers, and eight Science teachers was chosen as participant in this study. A survey instrument with Likert-five point scale was developed to explore participants’ perceptions towards ICT integration in teaching math and science in high school. The results showed that the status of technology integration in Math and Science is well-implemented. However, teachers needed time to plan and prepare technology-based instructional materials and update their skills in technology and pedagogy. They also needed to be supervised closely through feedback and mentoring. In terms of professional advancement, they needed to be updated and trained on curriculum development, pedagogy, and technology. Equipment and facilities needed to be increased, improved, and maintained, most especially the internet connection. It can be concluded that curriculum and instruction including faculty are greatly dependent on supervision, professional development, and equipment and facilities. The aforementioned three areas are well-implemented which made curriculum and instruction, and faculty extensively implemented. Keywords: ICT integration program, teaching math and science, high school. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpmipa/v21i1.pp95-108
