Abstract

The K-to-12 science curriculum promotes the use of Inquiry-Based Science Learning (IBSL) as a pedagogy to achieve scientific literacy. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the conventional education approach in migration to new normal. This sequential explanatory research was conducted to explore the students’ challenges encountered in IBSL in Online Distance Learning Modality (ODLM) at a public integrated high school. Stratified random sampling was used to select the 261 students as respondents from Grades 7 to 12. Researchers-developed survey questionnaires was administered online. Descriptive statistics was employed to analyse the collected data. Results revealed that majority of the students encountered not much challenges in learning resources, competence to technology tools, online self-efficacy, teachers’ pedagogy, motivation, and support system. However, specific indicators received higher mean, implying that certain challenges still existed. To further explore such challenges, in-depth interview was conducted among 12 purposively selected participants. Thematic analysis was utilised to interpret the data. Results disclosed other domains of challenges. Some students experienced limited interaction and received minimal assistance among peers. Meanwhile, lack of constant communication impeded continuous science learning. Fundamental science topics were not rigorously discussed, while the absence of experiments resulted to poor laboratory skills. Furthermore, online science pedagogies were not fully utilised. Challenges are evident; hence, these findings provide pedagogical insights to enhance the use of IBSL in new learning modality. An action plan is hereby proposed to reduce the challenges in IBSL in ODLM.

Abstract

An exploration of chemical reading performances of fifteen chemistry teacher candidates was conducted to reveal qualitatively metacognitive knowledge during chemistry reading activities. A think-aloud protocol had been carried out for reading performance. For a question posing purpose, two articles were designed to stimulate the readers’ thought in a metacognitive level that was divulged in-depth by self-interviewing questions. The reading performance was Tran scripted by measuring the normal reading rate and think-aloud reading rate to reveal the pattern of chemical reading activities. A phenomenological reduction method was used to analyze and to describe the reading performance. The interrelationship among declarative knowledge on reading preparation, procedural knowledge in reading performance, conditional-situational knowledge on maintaining the reading activity, and conditional-strategic knowledge on the termination of the chemical reading activity was constructed by the self-organization, task comprehension, strategy, and knowledge to integrated all sources. The presence of chemical equations, chemical representations, and terminology on the chemical reading had influenced the chemical reading pattern

Abstract

DepEd's Basic Education – Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP) as described in DO. No. 12, s. 2020 called for measures that will bring education equitably to all its learners. The researchers saw the merging of Science and English into one learning material using a content-based instruction approach as an apt response to this call. Therefore, the ROSE (Reconnection of Science and English) Module was crafted. This experimental mixed-methods design action research sought to (1) determine the perceptions of the Grade 10 students on the ROSE (Reconnection of Science and English) Module in terms of (a) content, (b) activities, (c) the merged/integrated module as a whole; (2) determine if there was a significant difference between the students' pre and post-test results using the ROSE Module; and (3) identify how had the ROSE Module helped students achieved DepEd's Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) in Science and English subjects. A survey questionnaire was used to find answers to objectives 1 and 3, while a diagnostic test was utilised as the instrument for objective 2. After two quarters of using the ROSE module, data on the pre and post-test results during the first and second quarters revealed a significant difference in the Grade 10 students' scores. Survey responses also showed that the respondents agreed to the Module's (a) content, (b) activities, and (c) merging/integration. Finally, despite the difficulties, confusion, and many other challenges, most of the respondents agreed that the ROSE module taught them academic skills such as writing and thinking as well as life skills such as responsibility, time consciousness, patience, perseverance, industry, and self-reliance.
