Semi-Structured Interview Questionnaire

Transition Questions

1. Since when did you teach Biology?

I started teaching Biology since 2018, my freshman year in DepEd
2. For the last 4 years in teaching Biology, do you formulate an objective on the
values that you want to integrate in the lesson?
Yes. I always include values in my biology classes.
2. What do you consider in choosing the values to be integrated in the lesson?
I consider the topic's relevance to current social challenges.
 Key Questions (Research Question 1)

1. What is your opinion about integrating values education in teaching human

reproduction?
Integrating values education can help students make their own, logical judgments
regarding sex, sexuality, and fertility.
2. Have you tried integrating values in teaching human reproduction? Describe your
experience.
Yes. When it comes to topics like these, students felt uncomfortable and quite inept.
However, I consider that when it comes to human reproduction, the importance of
responsibility should be emphasized, as students will undoubtedly face challenges
that will call their sexuality into question.
3. What strategy do you use in integrating values?
I gave the learners a scenario to help them identify the values they need to apply in
that certain situation.
4. In what context or setting do you usually integrate values in the lesson? Which
part of the lesson is values being integrated?
I usually integrate values education in the Application part of the lesson.
5. Follow-up question, how do you measure that the values being integrated are
practice by the students?
I let them write a reflection paper about the topics discussed.
6. What evidences do you observe that students are practicing the values they learn
in Biology?
Changed behavior (for the better)

Key Questions (Research Question 2)

7. Is there any moment in your teaching that you missed to integrate values?
Yes.
8. How about a moment when you don’t really emphasize integrating values much?
Yes
9. What are the hindering or intervening factors in integrating values in teaching
human reproduction?
Understanding all the values being taught in school may be hampered by parental
participation. To genuinely live out the principles that we impart in our young
students, reinforcement at home is essential. The way an educator prepares her
lessons in advance helps intensify the effectiveness of these strategies.
10. How do these factors affect your instruction?
If these elements continue to interfere with the teaching-learning process, the
instruction is likely to be deemed futile.
11. How did you deal with the challenges?
Persistence is key.

Closing Questions

1. Before we conclude this interview, is there something that you want to share
about your experience in teaching reproduction or in infusing values that you
think influences how you engage in your classes that we have not yet had a
chance to discuss?
I find it more engaging whenever I create situations/scenarios in which students
must use their critical-thinking skills and maybe confront their moral and ethical
upbringing in order to act morally and ethically in the given circumstance.
Script after the interview:

Thank you so much ma’am/sir for sparing your time with me. Your responses will be of great

soon for verification of your responses?
If yes: Thank you! I’ll make sure that the verification will happen in your most convenient
time.
If no: Thank you for letting me know. I will only take this note/ recorded conversation very
