PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
RESEARCH
Research is the core of the Special Science Program (SSP) designed to provide learners with knowledge and understanding of scientific processes that they will
use in undertaking science investigations. Various science process skills embedded in this course serve as criteria that will benchmark the higher order thinking skills in
the field of research.
The concepts on the nature of research and research processes will enable the learners to generate problems, select and synthesize relevant literature
observing ethical standards, employ experimental designs, and apply basic statistical tools which will enhance the scientific writing skills in developing a research
proposal.
Furthermore, the learners will demonstrate the skills and competencies in conducting actual experimental research. This will lead them to establish linkages
that will result to collaboration with different stakeholders such as partner research institutions, industries and the community itself. They will acquire mastery and
proficiency in writing the scientific paper by exposing them to the rigors of writing research reports.
This research course will strengthen the learner’s research capability and higher level of mastery and proficiency through continuous development of the
science research project. This will foster the research culture among learners, creating critical thinkers, and problem solvers among them, and motivating them to
pursue science and technology courses in the near future and become globally competitive individuals.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Research I for Grade 7 is a course in the Special Science Program designed to equip learners with essential scientific attitudes and
science process skills that will prepare them in conducting science investigations. These skills include observing, measuring, inferring,
Research I classifying, predicting, communicating, formulating research problems, formulating hypotheses, defining and identifying variables, describing
relationships between variables, designing an investigation, experimenting and writing simple scientific report. The simple science
investigations shall be confined within the school premises. This course provides an excellent groundwork or prerequisite background for
higher research work.
Research II for Grade 8 introduces the nature of research and processes to learners. This will help them generate a researchable
Research II problems, formulate hypotheses, select, synthesize and cite relevant literature following ethical standards, apply the principles of experimental
design and methodology, determine the basic statistical tools, and enhance scientific writing skills in preparing a research proposal. This subject
is also designed to prepare the learners in establishing strong linkages, collaboration and consultation with research institutions, industries and
nearby communities.
Research III for Grade 9 is the phase where the actual conduct of investigation/experimentation of learners starts. Topics are geared to
equip learners with the necessary skills in conducting experimental research. In acquiring proficiency in conducting sound researches, the
Research III learners shall establish strong linkages, collaborate and maximize the available resources of research institutions and the community. Constant
coaching, mentoring and consultation with experts will result to robust and well-guided execution of the research project. Learners should be
able to acquire mastery and competence in writing the scientific paper by exposing them to the rigors of writing research reports.
Research IV for Grade 10 aims to enhance the previous project study or develop a new scientific research. Competencies are designed
to strengthen the learner’s research capability through the use of advance scientific applications for different research designs, stronger
Research IV linkages, collaboration and consultation with research institutions and industries. Research IV will serve as an avenue for the learners to
demonstrate much higher level of competence, mastery and proficiency in research through continuous development of the scientific research
project.
