Abstract

This descriptive research is focused on teachers’ level of readiness, attitude, and perceived barriers in Generative AI integration in science teaching. It was carried out in every public Junior High Schools under the Schools Division of Ilocos Norte (SDOIN). Through total enumeration, 160 science teachers who were at least three (3) years in the service during the School Year 2025-2026 were the respondents for this study. A survey questionnaire adapted from Alshorman, (2024), which employed a four-point Likert scale, was used as the research instrument to gather quantitative data on the level of readiness, attitudes, and perceived barriers. The data gathered were analyzed using weighted mean. Results revealed a high self-perceived competence in AI (M=3.10) and adequate access to resources (M=2.64). However, formal professional development remains a critical gap (M=2.42), with only 14.4% of respondents having attended AI-specific training. Teachers’ attitude toward Generative AI integration is high, signifying that they consider Generative AI to be helpful and useful in science teaching. In contrast, teachers perceive a high number of barriers in integrating Generative AI in science teaching. Overall, the findings emphasize the need for professional development and institutional support to address existing barriers and further strengthen the effective integration of Generative AI in science teaching.

Abstract

This study looked into the status of laboratory equipment in the facilities of public remote secondary schools in the Schools Division of Ilocos Norte for the 2025–2026 academic year and in particular the lack of laboratory equipment. An inquiry of a case study research design using a mixed-methods method was carried out. Researchers recruited 50 science teachers from 20 distant secondary schools to participate in the study by using purposive and census sampling. An adapted survey questionnaire and checklist adapted from DepEd Order No. 118, s. 2009 the study purposely sampled teachers, comprising more than five years’ experience and related training, in science teaching. Descriptive statistics including frequency counts and percentage analyses, as well as thematic analysis, were employed to analyze data as described by Braun and Clarke (2016). The results of this study demonstrated the notable lack of primary laboratory materials, such that several of the key items were found to be totally missing in all the schools identified. In contrast, most studies found cheap laboratory materials that only served the regular tasks were available. Such deficiencies limit access to hands-on experimentation, real world experience and hands-on science lessons that impact students’ engagement and the acquisition of fundamental skills. Thus, the results underline a need for targeted interventions to supplement the provision of equipment, chemicals, and models not only to prepare teachers but also to reinforce science training within schools at a distance and assure students get an opportunity for laboratory training.
