CHAPTER 1

The Problem

One of the major subjects that the government gives

emphasis is Science due to the fact that it has a low level

performance based on local and national achievement tests

conducted by the Department of Education.

(Relevantalized to Covid19/or to the New Normal)

(Justify the need of conducting the study)

to lack of teaching materials; including books, computer and

communications innovations, community-based science

centers, laboratory facilities and equipment, as well as

shortage of skilled teachers.

The . . . . . . provisions of Article XIV, Section 1 of

the 1987 Philippine Constitution which states that:

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has inserted the idea

program Philippine Education for All (EFA) 2015. It is a

vision and a holistic program of reforms that aims at

improving the quality of basic education for every

Filipino by 2015. EFA aims to provide basic competencies

to launched the K to 12 curriculum through RA 10533 or the

Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013. The impetus for a

meaningful educational reform is clear: the realities of the

of lessons particularly in science subject.

Also, the provision of Section 4 of the Republic Act

9155, or also known as the Governance for Basic Education

stipulates that Regions, Divisions schools and learning

DepEd is pursuing a package of policy reforms through

Schools First Initiative (SFI) that seeks to systematically

improve critical regulatory, institutional, structural,

financial, cultural, physical and informational conditions

affecting basic education provision, Truth and delivery on

the ground This work together with the Basic Education

Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA) that mandates all learning

activities included in every subject should sustain an

improved quality of learners that can help us achieve a

holistic societal reform. Therefore, through the use of

various strategies in teaching, realization of sustained

goals can be achieved.

The implementation of School-Based Management (SBM)

transfers the responsibility for planning school improvement

relevant findings of the studies conducted by Avila(2016)

in using pointers for effective use of instructional

materials; Marasigan (2016) that concentrated in changed

learning approach; Masiong (2013) in the investigation of

the effect of laboratory approach on achievement and process

abilities in Science; and Mtega (2012) on increasing

student’s academic performance. However, all of these do not

just specifically focus on the use of contextualization in

teaching Science, thus the gap that the researcher tried to

bridge.
