promote science education in the country. One of
the strategies is to establish science schools that
will encourage students to pursue their career in
science and technology and to nurture their gifted
potentials in science.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this lesson, the
students should be able to:
•discuss the concept of science
education;
•and identify science schools
established to promote science
education in the Philippines.

Teaching Science
Teaching science involves developing ways
on how to effectively teach science. This
means exploring pedagogical theories and
models in helping teachers teach scientific
concepts and processes effectively.
Learning Science
Learning science, on the other hand,
includes both pedagogy and the most
interesting aspect, which is helping
students understand and love science.
Understanding
Science
Understanding science implies developing
and applying science-process skill and
science literacy in understanding the
natural world and activies in everyday life.
Mentioned
Philosophers
John Dewey
(2001)

stresses the importance of


utilizing the natural environment
to teach students. Accordingly,
nature must indeed furnish its
physical stimuli to provide
wealth of meaning through
social activities and thinking. It
is not surprising therefore that
science education is important.
Marx (1994)

opines that science is


going to be one of the
most important school
subjects in the future.
Knight (1986) Tilghman
(2005)
Science education
provides skills and
knowledge that are
necessary for a person
to live in what Knight
(1986) describes as the
age of science and to
develop a citizenry that
will meet the goals of
science in the society
( Tilghman, 2005).
Basic
Education
and
Tertiary
Education
Basic Education
Science education helps students learn important concepts and
facts that are related to everyday life (Carale & Campo, 2003;
Meador, 2005; Worth & Grollman, 2003) including important
skills such as process skills, critical thinking skills, and life
skills that are needed in coping up with daily life activities
(Chaille & Britain, 2002). Science education also develops
positive attitude such as: the love for knowledge, passion for
innovative things, curiosity to study about nature, and
creativity (Lind, 1997). Science education will develop a strong
foundation for studying science and for considering science-
related careers in the future This is an investment for the
Tertiary Education
Science education deals with developing students'
understanding and appreciation of science ideas and
scientific works. This is done through offering basic science
courses in the General Education curriculum, Science
education in the tertiary level also focuses on the
preparation of science teachers, scientists, engineers, and
other professionals in various science-related fields such as
engineering. agriculture, medicine, and health sciences. The
state provides scholarships to encourage more students to

Philippine
s
Philippine Science
High School
System (PSHSS)
This is a government program for gifted students in
the Philippines. It is a service institute of the
Department of Science and Technology (DOST) whose
mandate is to offer free scholarship basis for
secondary course with special emphasis on subjects
pertaining to the sciences, with the end-view of
preparing its students for a science career (Republic
Act No. 3661).
Special Science
Elementary
Schools (SSES)
Project
The Special Science Elementary Schools (SSES)
Project is in pursuance to DepEd Order No. 73 s. 2008,
and DepEd Order No. 51 5. 2010. This project started
in June 2007 with 57 identified elementary schools
that participated or were identified as science
elementary schools in the country.
Its Mission is to:
•provide a learning environment to science-
inclined children through a special curriculum
that recognizes the multiple intelligences of the
learners,
•promote the development of lifelong learning
skills; and
•foster the holistic development of the learners.
Quezon City
Regional Science
High
The school was School
established on September 17, 1967.
Originally, it was named Quezon City Science High
School. It was turned into a regional science high
school for the National Capital Region in 1999. The
school was a product of a dream to establish a special
science school for talented students in science and
mathematics.
Manila Science
High School
The school was established on October 1, 1963 as the
Manila Science High School (MSHS). It is the first
science high school in the Philippines. The
organization and curriculum of the school puts more
emphasis on science and mathematics. MSHS aims to
produce scientists with souls.
Central Visayan
Institute
Foundation
It is the home and pioneer of the prominent school-based innovation
known as the Dynamic Learning Program (DLP). The DLP is a synthesis
of classical and modern pedagogical theories adapted to foster the
highest level of learning, creativity, and productivity. The school takes
pride in its Research Center for Theoretical Physics (RCTP) established
in 1992, which organizes small international workshops to foster the
informal but intense exchange of ideas and perspectives on
outstanding problems in physics and mathematics.
