 Rationale
One of the foremost challenges that learners face amid the process of
learning is vocabulary acquisition. Vocabulary is an important outcome of science
education and an indicator of scientific knowledge, which can be acquired either
through direct instruction or through incidental exposure in classrooms. Without the
adequate knowledge of the technical vocabulary in science, students cannot
communicate and express what they learned practically during laboratory exercises
and experiments. In the Philippines, the knowledge on vocabulary is salient
especially for junior and senior high school learners for them to meet the
competencies required by the Department of Education (DepEd).
A promising word learning approach that can be tailored to any content area
is morphological instruction. In this approach, readers are taught to attend to the
structure of words and morphemes (i.e., meaningful word parts) to help them
pronounce, spell, and understand the complex words they encounter while reading
content-area texts.

 Statement of the Problem
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of applying morphological analysis pedagogy

in enhancing the science technical vocabulary acquisition of Grade 10 learners.

Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:

1. What topics in Grade 10 Biology can be the basis for applying the morphological analysis

explicit teaching?

2. What is the level of the control and experimental group of learners spelling and vocabulary

performance before and after intervention based on their pretest and posttest mean scores?
3. Is there significant difference in the pretest and posttest mean scores of
the two groups of learners?

4. What are the challenges encountered by the learners in acquiring

technical vocabulary based on the perception of the subject teacher?

5. Based on the findings of the study, what learning plan may be developed?
