Abstract

This study aims to identify the significant relationship between the home environmental factors and science anxiety affecting the academic performance of all pre-service science education students at the University of Mindanao. The total data from this study came from 124 respondents who participated in completing the survey and was collected using a descriptive correlation design. The researchers used a random sampling technique to select the respondents. Using mean and Pearson r analysis revealed a significant relationship between home environmental factors and science anxiety affecting the academic performance of pre-service science teachers. The study found that parents' socioeconomic status and student attitude resulted in a high mean and reached a high level. In contrast, parental involvement reached a moderate level. Science Anxiety with an indicator of science content showed low anxiety levels. The result revealed no significant relationship between the variables affecting the academic performance of pre-service science teachers. This study advocates the learners' various effects of dealing with anxiety about the factors from the home environment and academic performance. It may consider giving guidance and support such as that will provide interest and motivation to students.

Abstract

This paper aims to identify the significant relationship between the science laboratory learning environment and students’ practices on laboratory safety for education students who took at least one subject or course with laboratory unit in face-to-face classes. The data from this study came from 201 education students, collected through an online survey using Google Forms. The non-experimental descriptive correlational design, census approach was used to select the study participants, and standardised questionnaires were also utilised. The weighted mean, standard deviation, Pearson product-moment correlation design, and linear regression analysis were employed as statistical techniques. The study found that the science laboratory learning environment is at a very high level. Meanwhile, the students’ practices on laboratory safety, especially emergency response plans, work procedures, and chemical waste management, are at a very high level, while safety equipment and handling of experiments are observed at a high level. The results also showed a significant relationship between the science laboratory learning environment and students’ practices on laboratory safety. The domain of science laboratory learning environment that significantly predicts students’ practices is the material environment. The result implied that the institution may provide and maintain a conducive laboratory learning environment, which is essential for students to perform laboratory safety, enhance the handling of experiments, and upgrade the safety equipment in the science laboratory.
