ABSTRACT
Facilities and instructional materials play a crucial role in the learning development of students in all learning areas, most especially in Science subjects and those schools offering special Science Education. The researcher adopted the descriptive method of research. The said method is best suited since the study dealt with describing the status of public secondary schools Science facilities and instructional materials in the Third District of Nueva Ecija. The researcher used purposive sampling technique. The respondents were the 21 Science head teachers/coordinators, 47 Science teachers and 2,393 students from small schools’ category - public secondary schools in the Third District of Nueva Ecija. The result recommended to continue planning programs and activities in Science to help improve Science facilities and instructional materials that engage learners to actively learn. The researcher used the Slovin’s formula to determine the sample size of the respondents. The data gathered were analyzed and interpreted using frequency count, percentage, weighted mean and Pearson correlation. Result of the study shows that profile variables of the school in terms of number of teachers, Science classroom, NAT results and population was found not significant to Science facilities and instructional materials at level of significance of more than 0.05. From these findings, it may be concluded that there are no significant relationships between profile variables of the school and the description of Science facilities and instructional materials. As a result, a two – year development plan was conceptualized and developed to promote improvement and enhancement of Science facilities and instructional materials.
