The Problem and Its Scope

This document introduces the rationale for studying students' proficiency in science and its impact on academic performance. It discusses how science has advanced and changed life through increasing understanding of nature. Students who excel in science fields like earth, natural, life, and physical science may pursue skilled careers. Proficiency is now defined through performance expectations and science practices. The knowledge students gain from understanding science benefits their future. Mastering all aspects of science leads to good impacts on students' school performance. As children are naturally curious, learning science is something students do through active engagement rather than something done to them. The researcher wants to understand how students now excel in science and the relationship between science proficiency and academic performance.

CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE


INTRODUCTION

Rationale of the Study

Today science is advancing at an amazing speed and everything of our life has

changed beyond its uses. It constitutes an attempt to conquer the forces of

nature and give man increasing power over his surroundings. Science is body of

knowledge that represents current understanding. Science is life , science helps us

a lot in everyday life, science improve by that body of knowledge has been

established and is being continually extended to improve to be more precise and

to prove to incorporate changes, both elements are essential, one cannot make

progress in science without an understanding. Students who excel in the

sciences ,including earth science, natural science, life science, and physical

science, may go on highly skilled professionals when they grow up. Proficiency in

science is being defined through performance expectations and science practices,

Underlying conclusions and recommendations is a redefinition for what it means

to be proficient in science.

Students’ knowledge and experience play a critical role in their science

learning, influencing all four strands of science understanding. The knowledge of

student in understanding all aspects of science well gaine a good benefits for

their future, as guide for teacher and give the student a well content information

regarding science, and teach adequately support for the student to easily cope up

in the field of science. The student's proficiency on science will bring a good

impact for student's performance in school. Proficiency in science is being defined

through performance expectations in knowledge of science. All branches of

science is true, it's essence sheltered to our minds and souls.

As science is built up of facts as a house is of stones, but a collection of facts

is no more a science than a pile of stones is a house (Henri Poincare,La Science

etl’Hypothese (1908) Children are natural born scientists. They begin recognizing

and sorting out their world from the moment of birth, and perhaps even earlier.

They show natural curiosity about what things are related to each other. They

wonder why paper falls slower than a piece of chalk, they wonder how things

move. They have a wonderful time exploring those questions and coming to their

own

conclusions. Thus, we can say that children come to school with great variety of

experiences and adventures required from their innate desire to find out why

things happen and how they work Martin (2006). Learning science is something

students do, not something that is done to them. A natural connection of learning

concepts, scientific skills, and attitude follows when a teacher focuses on actively

engaging pupils in doing science. In the words of Bohr “The task of science is to

both extend the range of our experience and reduce it to order”.

Student's nowadays loved to explore beyond from their curiosity for the

things they'd met for the first time ,that forms a big questions to their mind, as

science is the best way of experimenting things, to explore , to cultivate ideas and

information. Therefore, students now know how to cope up their problems by

the help of science. On the other hand, science shows its effectiveness to

humanity by its greatest role to the society by its uses. The researcher would like

to know, how students nowadays excel on science and what's the impact of

science proficiency on student's academic performance in school.
