The test results showed that among public high school students, misconceptions concerning some of the basic elementary level number skills are widespread and persistent. Most students either failed to understand the given information well enough to develop a strategy, or they set up a strategy which was inappropriate to answering the given question. The recommendations given are as follows: remedial teaching, formative teaching in the classroom, correct misconceptions in textbooks, and subject-specific pedagogy, meaning teaching approaches in the key concepts of subjects.

This small book has been written to share the results of a research study on concept development with teachers, curriculum developers and researchers. The science concept involves the human circulatory system which teachers say is one of the most difficult topics to teach. The intervention activities were constructivist in nature, initiated by eliciting prior knowledge of students before engaging them in real-life experiences and the use of models and pictures.

This is a secondary level textbook intended to deepen awareness and develop scientific knowledge and understanding of earth processes such as weather, ocean movements, erosion, and volcanic eruption. Its Philippine orientation, i.e., conditions and processes observable in the country and data about natural phenomena, sites and resources, not only concretizes theories and principles but also enables our students to identify with their own country. To ensure the development of concepts, activities containing specifications of materials, detailed procedures and well thought-out questions are woven into the text at points where they can be of most help to students.

This sourcebook for science and mathematics teachers contains the lectures of scientists and mathematicians in the country delivered in the Frontiers in Science Lecture Series for Teachers, a project sponsored by the UP NISMED and initially, by the Philippine Association for the Advancement of Science (PHILAAS). The lectures were partly funded by the Science Education Institute-Department of Science and Technology (DOST-SEI). The main purpose of this ourcebook is to disseminate the outputs of the lecture series, especially to those who were not able to attend the lectures. It includes the following topics: The Physics of Turbulence; Lasers: How They Work and Their Application in LIDAR; Geology and Resource Development in the Philippines; The Philippines as a Jigsaw Puzzle from a Geological Perspective; Cyanobacterial Biotechnology; Peptides from Deadly Marine Snails; Trends in Computers and Communications Technologies; and Euclidean Geometry and Beyond.

This is a resource material for biology teachers which uses the environment as a teaching resource. It presents a practical and comprehensive guide to the identification of 200 plant species commonly found in our grassland under five groupings: forage, medicinal plants, weeds, plants with economic use, other plants associated with this ecosystem. Each species is accompanied by a brief non-technical description, a line drawing, and an updated taxonomic key.

This book is a documentation of actual experiences of teachers and students in mathematics and science classes as well as learnings arising from these experiences. As a compilation, these chapters highlight the opportunities provided for students to learn mathematics through problem solving and science through inquiry. A common theme permeates all the chapters - both teachers and students are learning through lesson study.
This collection of chapters is an innovative initiative that lays the groundwork for an implementable model of lesson study in the Philippine setting. It is NISMED's contribution to the ongoing search for a model of professional development that can be adapted in spite of large classes, dearth of resources, and a host of challenges faced by Filipino teachers.
