Department of Education Region III Division of City of San Fernando DOLORES STAND ALONE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL City of San Fernando (P) School I.D. 345268 NARRATIVE REPORT 18-DAY REGIONAL MASS TRAINING OFSENIOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS IN SCIENCE “Great teachers never forget that it is PEOPLE not PROGRAMS that determine the quality of a school” The Mass Training of Senior High School Teachers in Science was held last May 4-24, 2016 at Anne Raquel Hillside Resort in Olongapo City. It was an 18-day seminar focused on the different core and specialized science subjects under the Senior High School curriculum program. The training was designed to provide a general background for the science subjects which includes the core subjects Earth Science, Earth and Life Science, Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction and Physical Science that was discussed for 11 days. The 6 remaining days was allotted to the specialized subjects (General Biology 1&2, Chemistry 1&2 and Physics 1&2). Research Capstone Project was also introduced in the last day. This will help us teachers to be fully equipped with the content, pedagogy, teaching strategies and learning resources. Three days was allotted in each subject learning areas except for Physical Science and Research wherein the learning tasks are as follows: Day 1: 1st Quarter Walkthrough of Curriculum Guides/Appropriate Strategies/Assessment/Classroom Management and a deepening of content. Day 2: 2nd Quarter Walkthrough of Curriculum Guides/Appropriate Strategies/Assessment/Classroom Management and a deepening of content. Day 3: Demo Teaching and Processing The facilitators of our class were as follows: 1. Dr. Sonny P. De Leon, EPS, SDO –Cabanatuan City, handled the subjects Earth and Life Science, DRRM and Research Capstone Project. 2. Dr. William Frederick R. Fallorin, EPS, SDO – Zambales, discussed topics on Earth Science. 3. Ms. Lina Ruz Mercado, MT-II, SDO – Zambales, provided a lecture-discussion on Physical Science. Socialization ball was done on the last night in which all classes presented their group presentation. It was a festivity of talents. On the last day was the closing ceremony, wherein distribution of certificates took place. With the opportunity given to me by the DepEd to attend in this seminar I have learned that science content and science processes are intertwined in the K to 12 Curriculum. Without the content, learners will have difficulty utilizing science process skills since these processes are best learned in context. Organizing the curriculum around situations and problems that challenge and arouse learners’ curiosity motivates them to learn and appreciate science as relevant and useful. As a science teacher, I am challenge to play a pivotal role in Science education which aims to develop scientific literacy among learners that will prepare them to be informed and participative citizens who are able to make judgments and decisions regarding applications of scientific knowledge that may have social, health, or environmental impacts.
