School: General Information and Academic Administration
Hello! Iqra is here, in this chance i wanna describe to you about my receiving school at my teaching
practicum as a participant of SEAMEAO SEATEACHER Project. This school name is University Science
High School.
High School.
1.1 School Profile
History
The university science high school was established by virtue of the CLSU board of regents under the board resolution No. 1622 dated june 14, 1976 as a prime school for students who are inclined to pursue science and technology courses which the country needs for its massive and sustaining development programs. in 1978 board resolution no 1780 was passed, revising the crriculum and changing the name to agricltural science high school as an answer to the to the clamor for the change of the traditional curricular offerings.
Futher revision/enrichent of the curriculum was made in 1979 to strengthen the agricultural components and met the needs of the students who seek admission to agricultral institutions of the higher learning without prejudice to the original goal of preparing the youth for intensive training in science and technology. the school has opened its doors to interested applicants who qualify through screening by an entrance examination to fill up the limited slot of 80 in the first year level since 1978. In 1983, the school was back to its original name, the university science high school, to respond to the schools intensive emphasis in science and technology. Now, in its more thn 4 decades of existence, though a small unit in the university under the college of the education, the USHS has been an asset and will always be an asset, constinously giving its share in making clsu a bold name in the academic world where science and technology front the line in the educational thrust by producing qualify graduates.

1.3 Teaching System
Learning starts at 7:30 a.m. and ends at 5:00 p.m, which starts on Monday until Friday. Where each subject is 1 hour long. In daily learning USHS use two languages, namely Tagalog language and English. All of USHS students have good english skills, this facilitates me in teaching practice.
Each teacher uses a different learning methods depending on the learning topic to be taught. however, the approach used is student center learning.Learning methods and teaching materials used will be adapted to the learning materials available in the syllabus and curriculum.
1.4 Materials and Other Learning Sources
Teaching materials used are in the form of books / modules from the internet (e-book) , textbooks, and powerpoint presentations. teaching materials used depend on the material to be taught. My Coperative teacher, Sir John Paul uses powerpoints and e-books, to explain the subject matter he teaches.
1.5 Measurement and Evaluation System
1.5.1 Grading System
The USHS gradding system refer to Department of Educaion No. 8 s. 2015. Namely regarding policy guidelines on classroom assessment for the K to12 basic education program. Learners from Grades 1 to 12 are graded on Written Work, Performance Tasks, and Quarterly Assessment every quarter. For science written work (40%), Performace Task (40%) and Quarterly Assessment (20%).
1.5.2 Report Card
Weight of each subject
Each subject has 1 unit credit. In the above example, since there are 9 learning areas there must be a total of 9 units.
Retention Policy
The USHS will maintain its retention policy in consonance with Resolution No. 56-2002 of the CLSU Board of Regents approving the adoption of 80% as qualifying mark.
Grade Computation
In USHS, the General and Quarter Averages will be reported in whole number, round up to the nearest whole number.
1.6 Curriculum
USHS uses the curriculum set by the Philippines education department, namely the curriculum
K to 12.
Conceptual Framework of K to 12 (Departent of Education of Philippine, 2013)
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 students’ curiosity motivates them to learn and appreciate science as relevant and useful. Rather than relying solely on textbooks, varied hands-on, minds-on, and hearts-on activities will be used to develop students’ interest and let them become active learners. Science education aims to develop scientific literacy among students that will prepare them to be informedand participative citizens who are able to make judgments and decisions regarding applications of scientific knowledge that may have social, health, or environmental impacts.
The K to 12 science curriculum envisions the development of scientifically,technologically, and environmentally literate and productive members of society who manifest skills ascritical problem solvers, responsible stewards of nature, innovative and creative citizens, informed decision makers, and effective communicators. This curriculum is designed around the three domains of learning science: understanding and applying scientific knowledge in local setting as well as global, context whenever possible,performing scientific processes and skills, and developing and demonstratingscientific attitudes and values.
As a whole, the K to 12 science curriculum is learner-centered and inquiry-based, emphasizing the use of evidence in constructing explanations. Concepts and skills in Life Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, and Earth Sciences are presented with increasing levels of complexity from one grade levelto another (spiral progression), thus paving the way to deeper understanding of a few concepts. These concepts and skills are integrated rather than disciplinebased, stressing the connections across science topics and other disciplines as well as applications of concepts and thinking skills to real life.
1.7 Teaching Plan
The teacher will make his own lesson plans that will be used in teaching. However, each lesson plan will be adjusted to the syllabus and curriculum. The lesson plan will be adjusted to the material to be taught. There are several parts of the lesson plan, namely:
1. Objective Introduction
2. Class Activity
3. Student Activity
4. Exploration
5. Explanation
6. Elaboration
7. Evaluation.
For example:
