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.

Abstract

Critical pedagogy (CP) is a crucial instructional approach that aims to increase students' knowledge while fostering a greater awareness of justice and social equality. This approach is used in different disciplines to foster meaningful learning. In science education, CP is used by educators to deepen conceptual learnings by allowing learners to think the social implications of the concept being learned. Thus, this study is created to assess science educators' understanding of CP in basic science education, considering their length of service and gender. The used of quantitative research design is employed to accomplish the objectives of the study. In addition, respondents were drawn using simple random sampling technique and curated with the inclusion criteria. Based on this, 109 science educators across the province of Davao del Sur, Philippines were randomly selected as respondents to the study. The use of mean, standard deviation, Mann-Whitney U-Test, and Kruskal-Wallis H Test were used to analyze the data. The findings of the study revealed that science educators have an overall high level of understanding of CP with a very high level in the indicator, program structure. Moreover, data shows a moderate level of understanding in the indicators evaluation and teacher development. The analysis further revealed that gender does not play a significant role in understanding CP. However, when analyzed by length of service, data shows a statistically significant difference in the overall CP along with the indicators of philosophical orientation and teacher-student relationship. The findings of the study imply that science educators should be empowered to integrate CP in the classroom and implement professional development programs to improve CP understanding, especially for newly employed science educators
