I. INTRODUCTION

On the simplest level, Science is knowledge of the world of nature. Long ago people had no
idea of the meaning of Science. They explain natural phenomena based on their belief in natural
power myths and legends on the movement of heavenly bodies. There are many popular myths
and legends. Most of them attempt to explain or answer questions about circumstances that
surround people lives. Science is a knowledge of natural processes, and it has existed since the
drawn of human existence. (Obra, 2004)

During the Pre-Spanish Period, education was still decentralized children were provided more
vocational training but lesser academic, which were headed by their parents or by their tribal tutors
when the Spanish first arrived in Manila, they were surprised to find a population with a literacy
rate higher than the literacy rate of Madrid. During the early Spanish Period, most education was
carried out by the religious order. The friars recognizing the value of the literate indigenous
population built printing presses to produce material in baybayin. Missionaries studied the local
languages and the baybayin to communicate better with the locals and teach the Christian faith
easily. The church and the school both work together. All Christian villages had schools and
students to attend.

The educational system of the Philippines was patterned both from the educational system of
Spain and the United States. However, after the liberation of the Philippines in 1946, the system
changed radically. The Department of Education (DepEd) administers the entire educational
system, especially the curriculum along with the utilizations of given funds for school services,
equipment, recruitment of teachers etc.

The school is tasked to offer the best educational services which will property equip the
students with quality education in order to deal or cope with the present and the future demands of
society. It is doing its best to promote the welfare of the youth and to implement DepEd varied
programs and projects to attain qualitative and quantitative results. Its educational activities are
aimed at upgrading professional competencies among teachers, improving physical facilities and
classroom management, developing infrastructures and instructional materials and delivering
effective instructional supervision in order to ensure quality educational output with well-
developed, life-long skills, desirable attitudes and habits and proper sense of values among its
students.

V. Instrument

The given study made use of a set of questionnaire that dealt with the difficulties
encountered by the Grade 7- Rizal and Bonifacio Students of MNVHS in Science Subject.

The questionnaire was divided into two parts. The first part discussed about the
factors affecting the difficulties encountered by the Grade 7- Rizal and Bonifacio Students
of MNVHS in Science Subject in terms of teacher factors, student factors, financial factors,
laboratory factors and knowledge acquisition. On the other hand, the second part dealt with
the effects of the difficulties encountered by the Grade 7- Rizal and Bonifacio Students of
MNVHS in Science Subject in terms of performance, personal attitude and behavior,
student’s interest, examination and comprehension.

VI. Statement of Analysis

The given study was based on the following assumptions:

1. That the factors affecting the difficulties encountered by the Grade 7- Rizal and Bonifacio
Students of MNVHS in Science Subject in terms of teacher factors, student factors, financial
factors, laboratory factors and knowledge acquisition were moderate.

IX. CONCLUSIONS

In the view of the results of this study, the researcher has drawn the following:

1. Teachers had been a little source of the difficulties encountered in science subject by the Grade
7-Rizal and Bonifacio Science Students of MNVHS . This could be attributed to the fact that
their teachers had a good foundation in teaching Science.

2. Students had been a little source of the difficulties encountered in science subject by the Grade
7-Rizal and Bonifacio Science Students of MNVHS . This could be attributed to the fact that the
students.
3. Financial factors had been a little source of the difficulties encountered in science subject by the
Grade 7-Rizal and Bonifacio Science Students of MNVHS . This could be attributed to the fact
that their parents supported them in all academic and other school activities.

4. Laboratory factors had been a little source of the difficulties encountered in Science subject by
the Grade 7-Rizal and Bonifacio Science Students of MNVHS . This could be attributed to the
