Teachers are NOT all knowing anyway. But a teacher who promotes an atmosphere of trust and open-mindedness invites students to engage in an inquiry-based classroom. He also learns along the way, identifies his own misconception and works together with the students in rediscovering knowledge through heuristics. Such happened to me during the semester 1 this school year. As a generalist, I

My nephew, Nakki (shown in the picture with his mom), and his classmates in an elementary school in Tayabas were required by their teacher to deliver a 16-sentence speech about any of these topics: pollution and global warming. Here is the piece of Nakki:To my dear teacher; To my friends; To all boys and girls;Good morning!I am now afraid of typhoons. I am now afraid of floods. I am now afraid of

AFTER reading just the lead of the news below, ideas came to me of how to make my class an agent of disseminating information on proper hygiene among school children in far flung barangays in our area.I was inspired again of the concept that real learning engenders social change. I saw in my mind pictures of my students explaining dental carries, the causes of these and how to avoid these, using

My professor back in the undergraduate school asked me if I could speak before her class about teaching methods and approaches. She is not just a professor, but she was a benefactor. She used to hand me bills when I was still a student-boarder. She was also there when I spiraled down to one of the darkest points of my life.As usual, I was again cramming. Schedules were hectic since last week

I have been experimenting with moviemakers and video converters the past few weeks. IBASO camped at Scarlet Resort in Bangar and as I checked the image files in my laptop, I saw a number of shots during last year's leadership camp.

On September 3, I was invited by our Science Laboratory High School to speak about science investigatory project preparation. I just came from a Leadership Camp so I did not have much time to prepare plus I was struggling with my voice.I noticed these days that when I am being invited to speak about something and was given only few days to prepare, I did not mind making a script anymore but I was

It has been my plan of coming out with a module in biology to make instruction less textual and learner friendly. But my primary problem revolved around the organization of topics. How can I avoid overlaps? How can I set the boundaries, the depth of the content and the level of approach to learners? I hate to admit this, but most of our high school graduates here in the province have shallow

For two days (Aug. 1 & 2), we were stranded at Caticlan because of the tropical storm "Jolina". It was Saturday when we decided to go home and waived for our previous plan of going to Bacolod. However, Orley's mind changed because one of his kids is sick. Our other comnpanions informed us that there was no trip to Tablas so they proceeded to Boracay.

According to its Governor during the opening program of REDTI's National Convention at Filamer Christian College, gone is the notion that Capiz is home to bewitching imaginations.

In the past several decades, our climate has been changing. Climate change is not new: the Earth went through six ice ages in the past 600,000 years. However, recent measurements show that the climate has begun to change rapidly. The size of the North polar ice cap in the month of September is only half the size it was fifty years ago. The sea level has been rising since direct measurements began

So imagine how a comment would brighten up my day. Since the other day, I have been dying to see my wife and kids before all these academic stuffs begin. Early today I was lining up again at the cashier’s office (so far the longest queue of people I had been) and was chasing against time to be done before 12 noon. True enough. It was exactly 12 noon.

I thought of myself as invincibly affected by distance not until this morning when I was lining up for a prerog of any available subject at IB. It was a circumstance-driven nostalgia which I wasn’t able to resist.

Worried to teach invertebrates? Coelenterates, sponges, mollusks, arthropods and many more? There's an effective and enjoyable solution to that. Bring your students in a coral reef or in a marine sanctuary. The first picture was taken when I brought my students in Agpudlos reef while the next picture was in a marine sanctuary.

There was a semester when I already finished the course syllabus in Biological Science (a general education subject) and the class had nothing more to do. I asked this non-education students what activity they wished to do. Thus, the above picture. The students caught frogs (in ricefields and creeks) and brought them to school. I borrowed the high school biology laboratory for the dissection

In the school where I teach, our microscopic investigation is very limited to the use of compound light microscope only. So as a jumpstart of kindling students' interest in Biology, I am bringing them out to a nature trip. This picture for example was taken when my education students in Biology went to Agpudlos to gather plant specimens for herbarium preparation. As a reflection, it is only when

As opposed to most traditional forms of testing, performance assessment does not have clear-cut or wrong answers. Rather there are degrees to which a student is successful or unsuccessful. This can be accomplished by creating rubrics. Airasian, (1991) Popham, (1995) and Stiggins, 1994) were cited by Brualdi (2000) on their definition of rubric as a rating system by which teachers can determine at

Assessment of student performance is emerging as a crucial ingredient in the recipe for on-going improvement of school science. As programmatic change is occurring, there is a need to align student assessment practices with curricular aims, instructional practices, and performance standards. In the words of Iris Carl (1993), “What we teach must be valued; what we test is what must be taught.”

I used rubrics in my classes foremost because in 2002 when I was having my Master's degree in Science Education that was the buzz word. I was not intelligent enough to investigate the downside of them until lately when I realized the need to address some silent issues about this assessment procedure. Silent because most teachers are using templates prepared by committees without considering

And so what, after the conference? I was the very first in our college to take part in an international academic conference and the first too, to present a research output. I was wondering why it took me two years after my Master's to do this. Exposure was the reason why I attended the conference, an international one so to speak (because of the presence of some Thais, Singaporeans, Chinese,

The information given by Dr. De Ungoria was so 'laymanish' that a science teacher of a rather different orientation could be interested in molecular biology. In her illustration she said that the first step is to extract DNA samples from non-contaminated source: teeth (the pulp), the heart, bone, any part that does not show signs of decay due to microbial nuclease. Blood is the usual sample they

DR. MA. CORAZON DE UNGORIA, Head of the DNA Analysis Laboratory, NSRI, UP Diliman. It was the best lecture I attended in the conference. It left a big mark, an inspiration on the role of teachers in national development just as how Dr. Ungoria's mentors in Pisay sparked in her the beauty of scientific research within moral bounds.

It's my first time to attend an international conference. I am happy beacuse I was able to attend, and present my research paper in a form of a poster. I have set so much expectations that's why when during the opening technical problems (sound system) cropped up, I was disappointed.With the many dignitaries who spoke during the first day, only the following persons left marks for quite a number

Edem Nutakor, 27, Biology teacher from Ghana. Like me Edem is so passionate about science that he wanted to go out of his country for graduate training. He's teaching junior lower high school in his country. See more pics in the conference. This is Sir Edgar Caganaan, a sixth grade science teacher from Zamboanga.

This article explains APOBEC-3G enzyme, a protein in the body that could potentially fight HIV. The only thing that hinders it from activating is the ability of the virus to encode the protein Vif (virulence factor) which blocks the enzyme.
