to implement spiral progression approach to
solve the congestion of Philippine basic
education curriculum. Hence, in new
secondary science K to 12 curriculum, the
students are exposed to spiral progression
approach, wherein the four areas, namely
Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry and
Physics, are being taught every grading
period (Sanchez, 2014). Science teachers
should be equipped with the four subject
areas.
Along this line, the science education in the
country is faced with many constrains such
as the shortage of qualified science teachers,
lack of quality textbooks, inadequate
instructional materials and equipment, large
classes, and lack of support from
administrators. In addition, it was found that
the lack of instructional materials and
equipment in school has been used to
account for the poor performance of students
(SEI – DOST & UP NISMED, 2011).
At present, DepEd finds solutions regarding
these matters. Numerous laboratory tools
and equipment are being distributed in
 Science core subjects of the Senior HS. I
guess that’s why teachers are exposed to
various trainings and seminars to be able to
teach well despite the lacking textbooks.
