Abstract

This study determined the effects of science teaching and learning factors on the performance of fourth year high school students in the science component of the Mindanao State University – System Admission and Scholarship Examination (MSU-SASE). These factors were grouped into namely: the learning environment factors, cognitive abilities in mathematics, reading comprehension, science vocabulary and mental ability; teacher variables such as teaching practices, teacher attitudes and teaching efficiency. It also included factors such as physical and laboratory facilities and administrative support. Three null hypotheses were tested using correlation statistics on the data obtained for the variables. The first two hypotheses drawn to show relationship between the student performance in the science component of the SASE with learning environment factors and different cognitive abilities were accepted whereas the hypothesis drawn for the teacher variables is rejected. Other findings showed that the physical and laboratory facilities are very poor and administrative support is very negligible. On the whole, the study is indicative of the state of science instruction of the MSU-Lanao National College of Arts and Trades which needs serious consideration and attention of the teachers and administrators.
