THE SCIENCE FRAMEWORK

IN THE K-12
 Learning Outcomes

 Described the science framework in the K-12

 Discussed the framework relative to each grade level

 The Science Framework in the K to 12

Science and Technology Literacy (STL)

- the ultimate goal of science learning
- DepEd’s response to 21st Century Literacy provided
in the national framework.
-Involves three important components:
1. Understanding and applying scientific knowledge
2. Developing and demonstrating scientific
attitudes and values
3. Performing scientific inquiry skills
 Characteristics of Science Learners

To become scientifically and technologically literate,

the learners must be:
 Critical and creative problem solver

 Responsible steward of nature

 Innovative and inventive thinker

 Informed decision maker, and

 Effective communicator

*The teachers will be assisting and guiding the learners to

acquire these skills
Learning Models, Approaches and Practices

Multidisciplinary/ Interdisciplinary Approach

Science-Technology Society Approach
Problem/ Issue/ based Learning
Inquiry-based Approach
Constructivism
Social Cognition Learning Model
Learning Style Theory
1. Understanding and Applying Scientific Knowledge

 Science literacy starts with acquisition of

knowledge
 Knowledge should be understood and applied

 Teachers should remember that memorization of

facts is important but they should be understood
and applied in daily lives
Science- is consist of :
 body of knowledge
 Process by which that knowledge is produced
Scientific knowledge
 is not absolute or certain
 Are socially and culturally embedded
 2. Performing Scientific Inquiry Skills

 A systematic approach used in order to find answer to

mind boggling questions

 Set of skills to be learned by the students to include the

science processes

 Ask a series of questions and find answers to the questions

asked

 The series of questioning and finding answers to the

question is scientific inquiry.
 3. Developing and Demonstrating Scientific
Attitude and Values
The development and demonstration of scientific attitudes
and are very important component scientific literacy
 Curiosity
 Humility
 Open-mindedness
 Intellectual honesty
 Perseverance
 Skepticism
 Creative and innovative
 Rational
 Objective
Scientifically and technologically literate students
should be:
 Critical and creative problem solver-

 Responsible steward of nature

 Innovative and inventive thinker

 Informed decision maker, and

 Effective communicator
The foundations of STL are characterized by the
following models, approaches and practices

 Multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary approach
 Science-Technology Society (STS) approach
 Problem/issue based learning
 Inquiry based approach
 Constructivism
 Social cognition learning model
 Learning style theory
