I am the youngest among the 2 siblings, son of Manny B. San Juan and Riza A.
San Juan. Currently residing at Inguito Street Pantok San Guillermo Morong Rizal, I grew
up by the strict guidance of my parents that lead me to build myself into who I am today.
I grew up having close interest to technology related skills and knowledge hence making
myself a technologically inclined individual. Also having a family that is musically inclined
I was also was trained to be a singer and a musician when I was a kid.
As I reach the age where the reality of life enters my zone of awareness, deciding for my
own path finally became a part of my life. Aside from my dreams of being a civil engineer,
I decided to choose the path of the teachers. I have been told by my former teachers that
I have skills in demonstrating and explaining that I can further improve, hence leading me
to decide to choose the BSE-Major in Science course. I am now nearing the end of my
school journey, and currently preparing myself to the real challenges of life as a teacher
in science.
My Educational Philosophy
"Education is not preparation for life; education is life
itself."
-John Dewey
Reflection
Education is a lifelong learning process. Learning happens all the time, not only in
a pre-designated place called the school. It happens in the home, between home and
school too. The homes and school’s mission therefore is to provide a learning
environment and opportunities to the children as the learners. Our role as a teacher is to
provide the children and perhaps also the community with stability, optimism, confidence
and progress. Our role is to ensure that the education we provide empowers our children.
School may look different this year with online learning and hopefully, at some
point returning to regular classes, yet what will never change is our commitment to serving
our students, families and community with care, compassion and dedication. Students
will be challenged and engaged through authentic learning opportunities that inspire them
to develop creativity, confidence and resilience to become independent and ethical life-
long learners.

MORONG NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
The institution of the Morong National High School comes about when the Rizal
upon the ratification of Republic Act No. 7933. From 1996 to the present, many
infrastructures of the school were established. There are several school services such as
Museum, SPED Multi-Media center, School Canteen, and Library. Efficient offices were
also constructed like the Principal’s office, Registrar, EMIS, and some modified places
noticeable to the students’ desire. The school also tender an Alternative Learning System
The Morong National High School's dream is to be the middle of efficient teachers
and staff who will develop academically, agriculturally, and technologically skilled
individuals nurtured with the spirit of nationalism, and its mission is to develop student’s
individuals who are loyal to his country and can act as a positive agent of change.
To attain the vision and mission of the school, excellence of teaching is
training was initiated to improve the teacher’s skills, particularly those in front of the 2010
Basic Education Curriculum, best known as Understanding by Design (UBD). In the same
year, the regional STEP Skill Competition was hosted by the school. During the previous
month of the same year, the school was used for the ninth time during the conduct of
Regional Training of the next batch of the 2010 Secondary Education Curriculum.
In 2016, it was the first year of implementation of the K-12 Curriculum. Morong
National High School offered Senior High School with two tracks such as Academic
Tracks and Technical Vocational and Livelihood Tracks. Academic Track composed of
(HUMSS), and Science and Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) strands, and
Technical Vocational and Livelihood Track composed of Shielded Metal Arc Welding
(SMAW), Food and Beverage Services (FBS), Electrical Installation and Maintenance
Due to the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), schools shift from face-to-face
learning to online learning. Modular learning and online distance learning modalities were
used to teach and learn online. At present, in the year 2022, the said school is headed by

approach is online. They cooperate even in the simplest of activities or in simple question
and answer sessions with my Cooperating Teacher. Upon observing them, I discovered
that they are a very active and energetic group. As far as I recall from my observations,
they ask questions if the topic is not clear to them, indicating that they are eager to learn
and gain more information and knowledge from my cooperating teacher. With that, I'm
looking forward to meeting them, teaching them with my own techniques, and getting to

Climate
It is a general pattern of weather in a certain area over
a long period of time.
Greenhouse Effect
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms
the earth’s surface. When the Sun’s energy reaches the
earth’s atmosphere, some of it is reflected to space and
the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse
gases. These gases include water vapor, carbon dioxide,
methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs).

Constellation
It is the group of stars that appear to form a pattern in
the sky. There are 88 constellations recognized by the
International Astronomy Union (IAU). Many
constellations have names that can be traced back to
early Babylonian and Greek civilizations.
The constellations that can be seen in the Philippines are
the Orion and Taurus
Zodiac Constellations
Zodiacs are the 12 constellations. For example, the
constellation behind the sun from August 10 to
September 16 is Leo. During this period, the constellation
is not visible in the night sky because it is behind the sun.
This gives us idea that constellation may be present or
not in the night sky depending on the position of the
earth with respect to the sun. Some constellations
appear and disappear in the night sky throughout the
year due to the revolution of the earth.

objectives of the researchers were to determine the average result in the test
before and after the strategy and the significant increase in the percentage of the
group, while the G10-Confident students would constitute the traditional approach
The first measurement would serve as the Pre-Test, the second as the Post-
Test. The measurements or observations would be collected at the same time for

As shown in the figure, the study centers on the difference between the
Two groups were determined in this study. The control group uses the
traditional approach (lecture method), and the experimental group uses the
Inquiry-Based Approach. The level of students' learning was obtained after
administering a pre-test to both groups and a post-test between the two groups
the significant difference in the level of students’ learning. Based on the finding, an

It could be gleaned from the table that in the pre-test result, the obtained
mean was 5.12 and a standard deviation of 2.18, which was verbally interpreted
as “Low.”
Furthermore, the table showed the post-test result, which obtained a mean
It means that there was a slight increase in the performance of the G10-
Confident students who had been instructed through the traditional approach, as
The result implied that using the traditional approach in teaching science
can help the students to achieve good grades, although it doesn’t help students
improve their science process skills since the approach used was teacher-
centered learning. Also, there’s a small improvement in the science performance

The result implied that using the inquiry-based approach in teaching science
can help the students be more engaged in the online discussion and help to
improve their science process skills. Also, it improves the science performance of
This was supported by the study of Smallhorn et al. (2015), which indicates
that the shift to inquiry-based learning has improved the learning outcomes of the

of the students, as revealed by the pre-test between the traditional and inquiry-
based approaches.
The result implied that the pre-test result of the two groups, control, and
treatment, have no significant differences. This explains that the level of learning
outcomes between the two groups was at the same level without significant
differences.

obtained t-value was 7.698 with a p-value of 0.00, which did not exceed 0.05 level
of the students, as revealed by the post-test between the traditional and inquiry-
based approaches.
The result implied that the inquiry-based approach in teaching science was
more effective than the traditional approach in teaching science process skills
This was supported by Ural, E. (2016), who states that there is a significant
inquiry, the students are more confident, and the experiment becomes more
meaningful.
