Ramon L. Sanchez III; Sheryl Lyn C. Monterola – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2024
Understanding why teachers teach the way they do is important especially in a time of curriculum reforms. Hence, the aim of this research is to unpack the secondary school physical science teachers' beliefs on the purposes and goals of science teaching (PGST) and to check the alignment of their beliefs on PGST with constructivism. A convergent…
