Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Continuous modifications and changes have been implemented by educational authorities to adapt to the varied needs of different generations of students facing different situations and challenges. However, not all outcomes were favorable, leaving room for improvement for many curriculum developers in each generation. This study was intended to shed light on the processes of Department of Education 2C -2I-1R and relate it to other teaching strategies.

METHODS

The researcher utilized the descriptive type of research using a questionnaire which was validated and administered to one hundred eleven (111) Junior High School Science teachers from the public schools of Lipa City to seek accurate and adequate descriptions of the Department of Education 2C-2I-1R Pedagogical Approaches in teaching Science and their applications to the academic performance of students in the academic year 2016-2017. The data gathered were analyzed and interpreted through the most appropriate statistical procedures.

RESULTS

The study found the effectiveness of Department of Education 2C-2I-1R Pedagogical Approaches in teaching Science on Junior High School in Public Schools in Lipa and the extent of the academic performance of the students using the approaches. There was no significant difference in the assessment of the Effectiveness of Department of Education 2C-2I-1R Pedagogical Approaches in terms of Constructivist and Inquiry-Based approaches. In the assessment of Collaborative, Integrative and Reflective approaches, on the other hand, there was a statistically significant difference. There was also a significant relationship between the assessment on the Effectiveness of Department of Education 2C-2I-1R Pedagogical Approaches in Teaching Science and the Academic Performance of Junior High School Students.

DISCUSSIONS

The results demonstrated the need for educators to continue and improve the utilization of Department of Education 2C-2I-1R Pedagogical Approaches for the further development of the students in terms of Science Education and other academic subjects. With these strategies, it is hoped that teachers can improve learners understanding of the learning outcomes, heighten the learner's ability to read, write and reason, and ultimately meet the K12 curriculum standards.
