What are some hindering factors ?. .Professional Development Technology Resources Enhancement Methodology .Instructional Materials.

Recommendations to turn hindering factors into opportunity 1. Making biology teaching and learning effective may facilitate the implementation of the new curriculum and help policy makers and teachers to update in the line with the learners, knowing their views of the affecting their learning needs 2 . Teachers should know students' interests and their benefit for everyday life are also necessary to consider in the selected curriculum.Teachers' teaching style, nature of the topic, attitude towards the topic, students' learning and studying habits, and lack of resources are the main causes of learning difficulties. If learners were not happy with the methods of how biology is taught, they may show negative attitudes and disinterest towards biology ..

Recommendations to turn hindering factors into opportunity 3 . Teachers should support the opinion of the students. 4. Teachers have to know that students often lack requisite background knowledge, even if the educators provide the conducive environment to learn and support critical scientific thinking and reasoning to do effectively 5. Teachers have to also know that the learners encountered difficulty in determining the mutual relationship between several facts or collection of data but succeeded in explaining the impact of one isolated fact. If we put those reasons together we might be able to the the attention and interest of students to learn from us..

Why science, almost always, ranked lowest in terms of academic performance in the National Achievement Tests?.

• Inadequate number of teachers who have really the mastery and trained in teaching Science because there are some schools who don’t have a teacher who majored in Science . • Lack of teaching and learning materials to effectively teach the Science subjects which include the discipline of biology, Chemistry, Physics and Earth Science. Most Deped governed school don’t have updated books and some science laboratory are not functional including their science apparatuses ..

• Poor teaching methods of teachers, thus s teachers need to be equipped with the new strategies and techniques in teaching science which can lead to the increase performance of students. • Student’s attitude in towards Science subjects. There are lot of students who think that Science is a very difficult subject thus they will lost their interest in learning the subject for they have closed their minds thinking that Science is such a very difficult one..
