FACTORS AFFECTING SCIENCE EDUCATION
Elementary and Secondary Levels

Curriculum
Teacher factor
Learner factor
Learning environment
 ISSUES ON
SCIENCE CURRICULUM

Information overload
Too many topics needed to
be covered
Misconceptions/errors in
some topics covered in the
teaching materials
 STRATEGIES: CURRICULUM

Review, revise curriculum to make it more relevant

and holistic
Must involve middle management who
are the implementors
Consider parents and students
viewpoints
Review scheduling of all subjects or deletion of some
topics so that relevant discussions can be made
 ISSUES ON
TEACHER FACTOR

Out-of-field teaching
Non-science teachers being
asked to teach science
subjects
Lack of inquiry-based training
Overloaded with teaching and other
duties
 STRATEGIES:
TEACHER FACTOR

Retooling and training to identify

innate intelligences to harness talents
and skills; peer mentoring
Teacher must be a facilitator of
learning
Teacher must consider diversity of
learning styles and multiple
intelligences

 ISSUES ON
LEARNER FACTOR
Fragmented learning (no integration)

Lacks basic tools (English/Math) for

understanding science)

Lack of Science Literacy

Low Pedagogical Content Knowledge

 STRATEGIES: LEARNER FACTOR
The students must not only be the
learners but the community as well so
that they will have ownership of the
learning process
Encourage participative learning
Supplementary English/Math drills
Science issues in the community should
be considered to generate interest
ISSUES ON: LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Teacher-centered environment
Lack of audio-visual facilities
Rote learning dominance
Large class (too many students
in each room)
STRATEGIES: LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Use various kinds of environments as context

of learning i.e., natural environment
Community-based learning
Make classes smaller whenever possible
Devise teaching strategies appropriate for
large classes (e.g. audio-visual materials)
 ISSUES AND STRATEGIES

 ISSUES AND STRATEGIES
Science as a Subject

Students lack of
Inquiry based
sustained models of
interest in the teaching
subject (investigative/
exploratory)
