Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the Science Teachers’ competence reflective of the new normal flexible learning modalities for the school year 2022-2023 at Carcar City Division as basis for a teacher support model. The study is quantitative in nature which utilized the descriptive-correlational design to determine the competencies of the Science teachers focused on the areas of Classroom Management, Instructional Delivery, Formative Assessment and Personal Competencies. Findings revealed that majority of the respondents were 31-40 years old, female, with MA units, General Science major, holders of Teacher 3 positions who had attended various training relevant to science. They had teaching experience of 1-5 and 6-10 years respectively. It was further shown that the Science teachers were Highly Competent based on their competencies as rated by the teachers, master teachers and principals. Furthermore, no direct correlation has been found on the demographic profile and their competency. Science teachers as educators should demonstrate the following competencies to promote purposeful learning among the students.
