II.
A. In teaching science there are three domains to be applied which including scientific
knowledge, science process skill and the scientific attitudes and value. These three
domains are very crucial in teaching science because it can help your teaching-
learning process done effectively. When we say scientific knowledge, it refers to the
knowledge that is based on scientific method and it is a collection of reliable new
information about physical world, while the science process skills it refers to the
skills and actions that individual possess by the use of all the senses like observation,
predicting and etc. furthermore, the scientific attitudes and values it refers to the
attitudes and valued that individual possess in doing science practice it includes,
curiosity, honesty and so on.
B. Probably, the quality of science education here in the Philippines is very improving
and effective, as of now when we adopt the k-12 curriculum the change has made, it
is mandated that every school, public or private should follow the spiral approach,
which the basic education curriculum that the secondary science education was
exposed on spiral approach wherein the four areas in science will be taught every
grading period. As what we have observed that every school provides science
laboratory that they can use in teaching science, the government and the DepEd
provide the equipment and tools in science lab that the school needs and provide
teaching and learning resources that aligned to k-12 curriculum.
C. The sciences education is well organized through using the spiral approach, wherein
the elementary level will be taught the basic science and in basic education or
secondary level the four areas should be taught in every grading period and every
area has their own disciplines that also must be taught. Science education is
organized by using the three domains in teaching science.
D. The content of science education is about teaching, learning and understanding
science, and also about how the global changes affects the science curriculum.
Furthermore, about the knowledge, skill, and attitudes must possess while teaching
and learning science.
