MODULE 1
INTRODUCTION
This module presents the teaching of science with various facets and
definition of science, aims of the study and teaching of science, historical
development of science education in the Philippines, conceptual framework
and core are standards in Science Education.
OBJECTIVES
1. define science;
2. discuss the purpose and objectives of the science education;
3. discuss the science basic education curriculum in the K to 12;
4. examine the alignment of standards-grade level, key stage and
learning area;
5. examine the scope and sequence of science in the intermediate
grades;
The module contains three lessons. Read every lesson and carefully
understand then respond to the evaluation tasks given to find out how much
you have learned. Submit your output/s promptly to your instructor for the
course. You may contact your course instructor if you experience any
difficulties.

HISTORY OF SCIENCE
EDUCATION
The information below was adapted from Pawilen (2005), lists some
of the key events in the development of science education in the
Philippines.
Year Highlights
1901 ▪ A systematic public-school system was organized
and introduced by United States
1904 ▪ Science was first introduced by the Americans
under the subject matter, Nature Study, but
abolished a year after to give more time to
language arts.
1935 ▪ Science was again introduced with focus on Nature
and Health.
1950s ▪ The importance of Science to development was
only recognized by leading scientists.
1957 ▪ Science became a part of the curriculum from
Grade 1-6.
1960s ▪ Printing and distribution of science textbooks by
the United States Operations Mission-National
Economic Council (USOM-NEC) Project and UP
Science Teaching Center
1970s ▪ Teaching of Integrated Science and Health in
Schools
▪ Development of the Elementary Learning
Continuum (ELC)
1980s ▪ Introduction of Science, Technology, and Society
(STS) approach to teaching
▪ Development of science and technology textbooks
for secondary schools
▪ Recognition of the UPISMED
▪ Start of the Needs-Based Curriculum Project
1990s ▪ Development of “Science Made Easy” video course
and television programs like “Sine Eskuwela” for
science in the elementary level.
2000 ▪ Development of an Indigenous Curriculum for
science in selected local communities
▪ Integration of language and science for Grades I
and II
▪ Increased time for learning science
2011 ▪ Development of the Science Framework for
