Science Skills Intervention/Strategies Narrative Report

Grade 7

I. RATIONALE

Secondary school students are naturally curious, which makes science an ideal subject for them
to learn. Science allows students to explore their world and discover new things. It is also an active
subject, containing activities such as hands-on- labs and experiments. This makes science well-suited
to active younger children. Science is an important part of the foundation for education for all
children. (Jessica Cook, eHow)

Science teaches children necessary skills that they can use in other areas of their lives.
Kidsource.com reports, “Early experiences in science help children develop problem-solving skills and
motivate them toward a lifelong interest in the natural world.”

Consequently, science is included as a core element in elementary and secondary levels despite
conceptual complexity and high cost of implementation. (Batomalaque, 2009) Another justification for
the inclusion of science in school curricula is that all citizens need to achieve a degree of “scientific
literacy” to enable them to participate effectively as citizens in modern societies.

Studies indicate however, that many of our Filipino learners are not attaining functional literacy, without
which they find it too difficult to meet the challenges posed by our rapidly changing world.

II. Objectives

1. To improve student’s basic science skills in order to raise achievement and

improve learning experiences in science.
2. To increase student’s ability to access the curriculum and work more
independently.
3. To increase student’s interest in learning science concepts and skills.
4. To develop confidence and self-esteem.

III. Interventions

1. Pair Work Strategy

This strategy is usually conducted during classroom activities while the lesson is
going on. Students are paired to work harmoniously with a purpose like giving
an answer or performing an activity. Pupils can be paired with their seatmates
so that they can work comfortably. Fats learners can also be paired to slow
 learners so that the other one can help and assist the slow one. This strategy is
being practiced to help slow learners especially those with science skills
difficulty and may participate actively. This will develop their skills to
communicate with their peers by working hand in hand. This will also develop
their confidence about the lesson.

2. Scientific Literacy Remediation

This strategy is conducted during Friday to improve student’s skills in analyzing
scientific concepts and questions. This strategy is done by helping students how
to analyze scientific questions. Students are given set of questions to analyze.
This strategy is being practiced to help students improve their understanding
about scientific concepts and may participate actively in class and could get high
scores during examination.

3. Strategic Intervention Materials

These are instructional Materials that meant to teach the concept and skills.
Materials are given to students to help the master a competency based skill
which they were not able to develop during the regular classroom teaching.
These materials provide activities that reinforce the content of the lesson.
