Abstract
In the Philippines, the secondary science education curriculum has been reformed towards providing greater opportunities for students to realize that principles studied in class are relevant to everyday life.
Under the theme, ‘Science and Technology’, the proposed curriculum integrates local and relevant technologies and their environmental impact with science concepts. Value formation in the context of scientific and technological activities is included whenever appropriate.
The proposed curriculum can be summarized as learner‐based, multidisciplinary to some extent, and relevant to national developmental goals. It is flexible to suit the separate needs of the college‐bound and the students who would drop out of secondary schools in different communities. The curriculum includes the core textbook, which introduces the basic concepts and its relevant applications, and supplementary materials, both theoretical and applied.
Along with the development of instructional materials, the new secondary science curriculum also aims to upgrade teacher competencies. Training programmes will be conducted starting in March 1988.
