Discussion
Science education emphasizes the interconnectedness between science, technology, and
society. This approach helps individuals understand how scientific advancements influence daily
life, technological progress, and societal change. By studying these interactions, learners can
become critical thinkers and more informed citizens who are aware of how science impacts
decision-making and policy.

 Science Education – focuses on teaching, learning, and understanding science.


 Teaching Science – involves models which help educators effectively teach scientific
concepts.
 Learning Science – helping students understand and develop a love for science.
 Understanding Science – build and use science-process skills.

Science Education in Basic Education: teaching and learning of fundamental scientific concepts,
skills, and knowledge during primary to lower secondary levels.

Science Education in Tertiary Education: focuses on the advanced study of scientific principles,
research methodologies, and specialized knowledge in various scientific fields.

Government Intervention: actions and policies implemented by government to enhance,


regulate and support science education at various educational levels. This can include:

 Department of Education (DepEd): responsible for developing the curriculum for basic
education, including primary to secondary levels.
 Commission on Higher Education (CHED): supports the tertiary education by offering
scholarships and resources to universities and colleges.
 Department of Science and Technology (DOST): collaborates with educational
institutions to foster science and innovation.
 K-12 Science Curriculum: prepares students for real-world challenges and fosters a
greater interest in pursuing careers in STEM fields.
 Commission on Higher Education (CHED): supports the tertiary education and offers
scholarships and resources to universities and colleges.

Science Schools in the Philippines: these are the schools recognized as science-focused
institutions, which aim to foster a strong foundation in scientific principles:

 Manila Science High School: the first science high school in the Philippines.
 Quezon City Regional Science High School: turned into a regional science high school
for the National Capital Region (NCR) in 1999.
 Philippine Science High School System: a government program for gifted students in
the Philippines.
 Special Science Elementary Schools Project: began in June 2007.
 Central Visayan Institute Foundation: takes pride in its Research Center for Theoretical
Physics (RCTP) established in 1992.
