1.​ The laboratory in Ampid National High School is not sufficient. Though we have
adequate materials and equipment sufficed by the Department of Education and other
stakeholders, lack of rooms, which is one of the main dilemmas of the school, is what we have
to solve. As of the moment, the available room being utilized is just enough for the storage of
the available materials.
2.​ There are models of the systems of the body, laboratory equipment, such as
microscopes, flasks, test tubes, measuring tools, and the like which are stored in the laboratory.
The teachers can borrow these to bring to the classroom. The teachers are also the ones in
charge of the maintenance to ensure its longevity.
3.​ The school currently has 11 teachers all majored in the science field.
4.​ The Department of Education is continuously providing capacity building to teachers in
science especially before the school year starts of even in the middle of the school year. Within
the school, our teachers in science also conduct collaborative expertise where they share
knowledge and proficiency with each other.
5.​ The allocation is given through a proposal from the department. Then, the school will
approve and include it in the Annual Implementation Plan for budget allocation for the activities
related with Science.
6.​ The school administrator allows the teachers to attend seminar-workshops. They are
also encouraged to attend events that can capacitate them as teachers. Th administrators also
support the teachers by organizing professional development sessions, providing curriculum
guides aligned with national standards, and facilitating team planning to integrate new content
and teaching strategies effectively.
7.​ Science teachers use HOTS questioning to develop critical thinking, along with
learner-centered activities like group discussions, problem-solving tasks, and inquiry-based
projects. These methods foster engagement and a deeper understanding of concepts.
8.​ Teachers frequently include hands-on experiments, aiming for weekly or biweekly
activities depending on resource availability. Practical activities enhance student understanding
by allowing them to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios.
9.​ Science teachers commonly use digital resources, such as simulations and educational
software, along with videos, textbooks, and printed activity sheets. These resources help
diversify instruction and cater to different learning styles.
10.​ Teachers assess instructional materials by evaluating student engagement, observing
performance during activities, and collecting feedback from students to identify areas for
improvement and alignment with learning objectives.
11.​ Improving physical resources requires upgrading laboratory facilities, increasing the
availability of experiment kits, and providing modern technology like interactive whiteboards and
digital microscopes to enhance hands-on learning.
12.​ I can help by organizing peer learning sessions, inviting experts for specialized training,
and sharing resources and best practices to strengthen science teaching strategies and improve
overall teacher capacity.
13.​ Creating regular department meetings, establishing online collaborative platforms, and
fostering a culture of open dialogue encourage science teachers to share ideas, challenges, and
solutions freely.
14.​ Providing training on innovative techniques, allocating time for experimentation, and
recognizing teachers who adopt creative methods can encourage the use of modern, engaging
approaches in the classroom.
15.​ The school can invest in subscriptions to reliable online platforms if needed. It can also
provide a shared repository of high-quality resources and ensure regular budget allocation for
updated textbooks and digital tools tailored to science teaching needs.

Interviewer: Okay salamat po! Next question po ay anong mga estratehiyang po ng pagtuturo ang
pangunahing ginagamit ng mga guro sa agham upang maakit ang mga mag-aaral sa mga klase sa agham?
Respondent: Maraming paraan na ginagawa ang mga guro para makuha ang atensyon ng kanilang mga
mag-aaral sa klase. Pero mostly, ang ginagamit ng mga guro ay ang HOTS (Higher Order Thinking
Skills) questioning para s'yempre mapaunlad ang critical thinking ng mga mag-aaral. Bukod dito,
ginagamit rin nila ang mga learner-centered activities tulad ng group discussions, problem-solving tasks,
at inquiry-based projects. ‘Yung mga ganito ay nakakatulong para mas lalo pang maengganyo ang mga
mag-aaral at mas maintindihan pa nila ang mga lesson. Uhh… ang HOTS kasi ay isang paraan para
matiyak na rin na ang mga mag-aaral ay hindi lang basta nakikinig, kundi aktibong kumikilos at nag-iisip
kritikal tungkol sa mga bagay na tinuturo sa kanila.

Question No. 7
Interviewer: Ito naman po, What instructional strategies do science teachers primarily use to engage
students in science classes?
Interviewer: Anong mga estratehiyang pagtuturo ang pangunahing ginagamit ng mga guro sa agham
upang maakit ang mga mag-aaral sa mga klase sa agham?
Respondent: Ano nga ba… Siyempre, science teachers or ang ating mga guro sa agham use HOTS o ang
Higher-Order Thinking Skills questioning para ma-develop ang critical thinking ng students. Kasabay
nito, gumagamit din sila ng learner-centered activities like group discussions, problem-solving tasks, and
inquiry-based projects. Sa pamamagitan ng HOTS questioning kasi, tayong mga teachers can encourage
students to go beyond simple recall of facts and instead analyze, evaluate, and create solutions based on
what they learn. Halimbawa, imbes na tanungin lang kung ano ang photosynthesis, mas ini-enganyo
silang ipaliwanag kung paano ito nakakatulong sa ecosystem. Bukod dito, ang mga learner-centered
activities tulad ng group discussions ay nakakatulong sa students na mag-exchange ng ideas at matuto sa
isa't isa. Ang problem-solving tasks naman ay nagbibigay ng real-world applications ng concepts, habang
ang inquiry-based projects ay nagpapalakas ng curiosity at independent learning. Sa ganitong paraan,
hindi lang basta natututo ang students natin, mas nagiging engaged sila at mas lumalalim ang kanilang
pag-unawa sa Science.

Question No. 7 Translated

Interviewer: Now, what instructional strategies do science teachers primarily use to engage students in
science classes?
Respondent: Let’s see… Of course, science teachers use HOTS, or Higher-Order Thinking Skills
questioning, to develop students' critical thinking. Along with this, they also use learner-centered
activities like group discussions, problem-solving tasks, and inquiry-based projects. Through HOTS
questioning, we teachers can encourage students to go beyond simply recalling facts and instead analyze,
evaluate, and create solutions based on what they learn. For example, instead of just asking what
photosynthesis is, we encourage them to explain how it contributes to the ecosystem. Additionally,
learner-centered activities such as group discussions help students exchange ideas and learn from one
another. Problem-solving tasks provide real-world applications of concepts, while inquiry-based projects
enhance curiosity and independent learning. In this way, students don’t just learn—they become more
engaged, and their understanding of Science deepens.

Question No. 8
Interviewer: Great answer po, I noted it. For the question eight naman po, almost done na tayo.
Interviewer: How often do teachers incorporate hands-on experiments and practical activities into their
lessons? Please tell us something about it.
Interviewer: Gaano kadalas isinasama ng mga guro ang mga hands-on na eksperimento at praktikal na
aktibidad sa kanilang mga aralin? Mangyaring sabihin sa amin ang tungkol dito.
Respondent: Hands-on experiment na ‘yan ‘no. Kapag may hands-on experiments kasi, our students don’t
just memorize concepts, they experience them firsthand. For example, instead na basahin lang kung paano
nagre-react ang acids at bases, mas nauunawaan nila ito kapag sila mismo ang gumagawa ng experiment
using pH indicators. Depende sa availability ng resources, ang mga experiments ay maaaring gawin
weekly or every two weeks. Kung limited ang materials, teachers find ways to conduct simple but
effective experiments, sometimes using everyday items na madaling makita sa bahay. Sa ganitong paraan,
students still get the opportunity to explore scientific principles kahit may resource constraints. Bukod sa
pagpapalalim ng kaalaman, ang hands-on activities ay nakakatulong din sa pag-develop ng
problem-solving skills, teamwork, at curiosity ng students. Dahil dito, mas nagiging engaged sila at mas
na-appreciate ang Science bilang isang subject na hindi lang teorya or theory kundi may tunay na
aplikasyon sa totoong buhay nila every day.

Question No. 8 Translated

Interviewer: Great answer! I’ve noted that. Now for question eight, we’re almost done.
Interviewer: How often do teachers incorporate hands-on experiments and practical activities into their
lessons? Please tell us something about it.
Respondent: Hands-on experiments, right? When students engage in hands-on experiments, they don’t
just memorize concepts—they experience them firsthand. For example, instead of just reading about how
acids and bases react, they understand it better when they conduct the experiment themselves using pH
indicators. Depending on resource availability, experiments can be done weekly or every two weeks. If
materials are limited, teachers find ways to conduct simple yet effective experiments, sometimes using
everyday items that are easily accessible at home. This way, students still get the opportunity to explore
scientific principles even with resource constraints. Aside from deepening their knowledge, hands-on
activities also help develop students’ problem-solving skills, teamwork, and curiosity. Because of this,
they become more engaged and appreciate Science not just as a subject filled with theories but as
something that has real-life applications in their everyday experiences.

Question No. 9
Interviewer: Second to the last question na po tayo. What types of instructional materials (e.g., textbooks,
digital resources, visual aids) are most commonly used in science classes? Please tell us something about
it o Anong mga uri ng mga materyales sa pagtuturo (hal., mga aklat-aralin, digital na mapagkukunan, mga
visual aid ang pinaka karaniwang ginagamit sa mga klase sa agham?
Respondent: Simulations and educational software ang ginagamit. Students can visualize science concepts
dahil dito, na dati mahirap ipakita sa whiteboard lang. Kunwari, imbes na maghintay ng actual chemical
reaction, may virtual lab experiments na pwedeng gamitin, kuha lang sa YouTube ‘no. Meanwhile, videos
and textbooks give clear explanations, at ‘yung printed activity sheets naman, useful for hands-on
learning. Sa ganitong paraan, mas interactive at enjoyable ang science classes, kaya mas madali rin para
sa students na makaintindi.

Question No. 9 Translated

Interviewer: We're now on the second-to-the-last question. What types of instructional materials (e.g.,
textbooks, digital resources, visual aids) are most commonly used in science classes? Please tell us
something about it.
Respondent: Simulations and educational software are commonly used. These help students visualize
science concepts that were once hard to demonstrate using just a whiteboard. For example, instead of
waiting for an actual chemical reaction, they can use virtual lab experiments—sometimes even just from
YouTube.Meanwhile, videos and textbooks provide clear explanations, while printed activity sheets are
useful for hands-on learning. With these materials, science classes become more interactive and
enjoyable, making it easier for students to understand the lessons.

Question No. 10
Interviewer: Finally, last question po. How do science teachers assess the effectiveness of the instructional
materials they currently use? Please tell us something about it o paano tinataya ng mga guro ng agham
ang pagiging epektibo ng mga materyales sa pagtuturo na kasalukuyang ginagamit nila? Mangyaring
sabihin sa amin ang tungkol dito.
Respondent: Teachers make sure na effective ang instructional materials by checking kung engaged ang
students, observing their performance sa activities, at humihingi ng feedback. Minsan, tinatanong nila
directly ang students kung helpful ba ‘yung materials or kung may part na nakakalito. Kapag may
kailangan i-improve, ina-adjust nila para mas magfit sa lesson goals at mas madali intindihin ng students,
‘yon lang naman po… ‘yon.
Interviewer: Thank you po, may idadagdag pa po ba kayo?
Respondent: Salamat pero wala naman na.
Interviewer: Maraming salamat po ulit. Mabuhay po kayo!

Question No. 10 Translated

Interviewer: Finally, here’s the last question. How do science teachers assess the effectiveness of the
instructional materials they currently use? Please tell us something about it.
Respondent: Teachers make sure that the instructional materials are effective by checking if students are
engaged, observing their performance during activities, and asking for feedback. Sometimes, they directly
ask students if the materials are helpful or if there are parts that are confusing. If improvements are
needed, they adjust the materials to better fit the lesson goals and make them easier to understand. That’s
pretty much it… yeah.
Interviewer: Thank you! Would you like to add anything?
Respondent: Thank you, but I think that’s all.
Interviewer: Thank you again! More power to you!
