Processing of Questions in Laboratory Activities by Proficient Science Learners

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This study includes the processing of questions in laboratory activities by proficient science learners composed of selected students in San Pedro National High School. The researchers wanted to improve the question processing strategies in science laboratory activities.

METHODS

To attain the objectives of this study, the researchers used the qualitative research design illustrated by the repertory grid used to arrange and group similar concepts and attributes. They conducted an attitude survey to ten selected students of San PedroNational High School.

RESULTS

The researchers concluded that the question processing strategies of proficient science had come up to common answers as performing the activity by following procedures; that the proficient science learners perceived success in the question processing strategies and that the proficient science learners used repertory grid technique as a pattern of question processing strategies.

DISCUSSIONS

In interpreting the transcription or the repertory grid technique showing the answer to the questions given, the learners were able to find a useful way of capturing concepts and knowledge. Learners were given freedom to describe the ways in which people give meaning to the experience in their own terms.
