develop a citizenry that will
meet the goals.
 CONCEPT OF SCIENCE
EDUCATION
Science education deals with the
development of people in science,
which is the heart of science,
technology, and society.

Science education deals with teaching

and learning of science and in helping
the public develop science literacy.
 AIM OF SCIENCE
EDUCATION

Science education focuses on teaching,

learning and understanding science.

Teaching science means exploring

pedagogical theories and models in
helping teachers teach scientific
concepts and process effectively.
 AIM OF SCIENCE
EDUCATION

Learning science includes both pedagogy and

the most interesting aspect, which is helping
students understand and love science.

Understanding science implies developing and

applying science process skills and using
science literacy in understanding the natural
world and activities in everyday life.
 JOHN DEWEY MARX (1994)
(2001)
Stressed the importance Opines that science is
of utilizing the natural going to be one of the
environment to teach most important school
students. subject in the future.
 BASIC SCIENCE EDUCATION
- It helps the students learn important concepts and facts that are related
to everyday life including important skills such as process skills, critical
thinking skills, and life skills that are needed in coping up with daily life
activities.

- Develops positive attitude such as the love for knowledge, passion for
innovative things, curiosity to study about nature, and creativity.

- Science education will develop a strong foundation for studying science

and for considering science-related careers in the future.
 TERTIARY SCIENCE EDUCATION

- It deals with developing and students' understanding and

appreciation of science deals and scientific works. This is done
through offering basic science courses in the general education
curriculum.

- Science education in this level focuses on the preparation of

science teachers, scientist, engineers, and other professionals in
various science-related fields such as engineering, agriculture,
medicine, and health sciences. The state provides scholarship to
encourage more students to pursue science courses.
SCIENCE SCHOOLS IN THE
