Science Education
Curriculum
- Latin word “currere” which means “to run”
- Is systematic and organized
- Explicitly states outcomes (knowledge, skills) the
learners have to achieve and learn through the use
of planned instructional processes and other
learning implements in a specific period
- Consists of planned process of measurement,
assessment, and evaluation to gauge student
learning
Glossary of Educational Reforms
Knowledge and skills students are expected to
learn, which include the learning standards or
learning objectives they are expected to meet; the
units and lessons the teachers teach; the
assignments an projects given to students; the
books, materials, videos, presentations, and
readings used in a course; and the tests,
assessments, and other methods used to evaluate
student learning.
John Dewey
Continuous reconstruction, moving from the child’s
present experience out into that represent by he
organized bodies of truth that we call studies… the
various studies…. Are themselves experiencethey are that of the race.
Indiana Department of Education
The planned interaction of students with
instructional content, materials, resources, and
processes for evaluating the attainment of
educational objectives.

Licensure Examination
- Conducted to identify graduates who possess the
basic qualifications
- PRC is the government agency tasked to
administer licensure examinations to different
professionals.
- Professional Regulatory Board (PRB) for Medical
Technology/ Medical Laboratory Science- tasked
to prepare and administer written licensure
examinations for graduates qualified to take the
examination.
MTLE is given twice a year (March and August)
- Provisions included in Republic Act 5527: “The
Philippine Medical Technology Act of 1969”

Types of Assessment
o Formative Assessment
W. James Popham (2008) “is a planned process
in which assessment-elicited evidence of students’
status is used by teachers to adjust their ongoing
instructional procedures”
Ex: Quizzes, Reflection papers
o Summative Assessment
- Assessment of learning. Done at the end of
instruction.
- Can be used to know how well each student
learned the tasks
Ex: Major and Comprehensive Examinations,
Research papers, Final Projects
o Diagnostic Assessment
- Type of assessment given prior to
instruction.
- Used to gauge what students already know
and do not know.
