Abstract:

We have all been hearing a lot about the lugubrious state of science education in the Philippines since the release of the Third International Mathematics and Science Survey (TIMMS) results. In the survey, the Philippine sample performed dismally, ranking near the bottom of the list'. What was actually more surprising was that local testing data wave long portrayed the same dismal picture of science achievement of our students.
