ABSTRACT

Science Education aims to develop scientific literacy among students. This may mold them to be active and participative citizens. This study was conducted to determine the learned skills and cognition in Science subject of Grade 8 students for the school year 2018-2019. The data needed for the study were gathered using Science skills and cognition questionnaires. The Science skills questionnaire comprised of five (5) components such as acquisitive, creative, manipulative, communicative, and organizational. The cognition questionnaire also comprised of five (5) components such as attention, memory, perception, problem-solving, and organization. The independent and dependent variables in this study were the learned skills and the cognition in Science subject, respectively. Generally, the findings revealed that the level of learned skills, as well as the level of cognition in Science subject of the Grade 8 students,were “moderate”. However, there was a highly significant relationship between the learned skills and cognition in Science subject of Grade 8 students. Skill enhancement strategies and programs were formulated to address the problems encountered among Grade 8 students in their Science subject.

Key words: Cognition, Grade 8 Students, Learned Skills, Science Subject, Enhancement Program
