Results-Based Science Curriculum Supervision in Dela Paz National High School

Nucleilee T. Mariño, Dennis G. Caballes

Abstract


The main objective of this study was to assess the implementation of Science curriculum in Dela Paz National High School considering the performances of learners and Science teachers. The study utilized a research design including descriptive methods of research, survey, documentary analysis and focused group discussion in gathering the needed data.

The learner’s performance reflected in the Science School Achievement Test’s Mean Performance Scores of Grade 7, 8, 9, and 10 during school year 2018-2019 are still far from the required standard for scientific knowledge and skills that could have been learned and developed, enhanced, and retained in the classroom. Also, Science curriculum implementation serves its purpose as viewed by the respondents during lesson execution however some points addressing adequate time of delivering the content, training of teachers to improve learner’s performance, and additional learning materials and facilities can still be considered by curriculum planners for its improvement. Furthermore, teacher’s performance influence the attainment of the science curriculum objectives more than learner’s performance, while others are not a variable to performances of learners and teachers.
