Abstract

Contextualizing environmental education is a significant factor in shaping learners’ understanding of their environment. The absence of local knowledge in environmental education can significantly impact learners’ ability to understand environmental learning when applied in their local context. This study has developed an Environmental Education Kit (EE Kit) containing contextualized activities aligned with the learning competencies listed in the newly implemented MATATAG or K–10 Curriculum for elementary learners in Davao del Sur, Philippines. The use of developmental research design was employed in this study since the main goal of the study is to create a contextualized EE Kit. In developing the EE Kit, the researchers have included five components, namely, topics, specific objectives, key concepts, directions, and activities. To determine the appropriateness of the developed EE Kit, 44 elementary science teachers from the Province of Davao del Sur, Philippines, were invited to participate in this study. The questionnaire used involved a Likert scale with five response options to assess various aspects of the kit, including its language, format and layout, and level of difficulty. Result of the analysis shows that teachers have rated all indicators under the content and face validity components as highly acceptable, providing positive feedback on the EE Kit’s potential as a valuable resource to enhance contextualized learning in environmental education. Therefore, it is recommended that elementary science teachers utilize the EE Kit to allow hands-on experiences under the newly implemented curricula. Moreover, the need for future studies to assess the EE kit’s efficacy from the learners’ perspective is recommended, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to improving the EE Kit for Filipino learners.

Abstract

Physics is a complex science discipline that intertwined with other disciplines (e.g. chemistry, life sciences, and mathematics), making it challenging for other learners to learn. To cope, educators developed strategies tailored to the needs of learners and their context. This article conducts a comprehensive systematic literature review of research articles available in Google Scholar that focuses on the concept of innovative strategies in teaching physics. Guided by the PRISMA model, 119 articles were identified, and of these, 31 articles were deemed relevant to the study. The result shows that the most used method in developing teaching strategies in physics is quasi-experimental followed by research and development. Result shows that physics education strategies are the most explored topic followed by physics laboratory innovations. Moreover, the recently published articles can be classified into two themes: non-digital teaching strategy and technology-aided teaching strategy. Outcomes of these developed strategies have shown improved learning among students and the development/enhancement of skills necessary in the 21st century such as problem-solving, analytical thinking, visualization, and social skills. Thus, this shows that the innovation of methodology-oriented new teaching strategies to address challenges in learning physics is crucial for improving conceptual understanding among learners.
