In 1940, the school offered the Two-year Teacher Education Curriculum for the graduates of the secondary trade schools and Three-Year Education Curriculum for graduates in general high school.

In 1951, the school was authorized to open the degree of Bachelor of Science in Industrial Education (BSIE). The school was made a training center in the development of industrial arts program when the team of Industrial Educators from Stanford University arrived in 1957. In 1968, it also became a training center for implementation of the reconstructed manpower program of the National Manpower and Youth Council. In 1974, the Educational Development Project Implementation Task Force (EDPITAF) identified the school as the Regional Staff Development Center (RSDC) for Practical Arts in Western Visayas. It also pioneered in the implementation of the graduate program for vocational technical education in 1976 offering the degree Master of Arts in Teaching Vocational Education.

In May 1983, by virtue of Batas Pambansa Blg 395, the school was converted into a chartered state college known as the Western Visayas College of Science and Technology. The College has grown into a leading technological and professional manpower development institution as it serves Region VI and the whole country. To meet its vision as the Center of Excellence in Science and Technology, the College has established its Local Area Network (LAN) that links different colleges and departments to the internet for the vast resources of the virtual world.

They have elementary class from grade 1 until grade 6. Classes are divided into 4 classes for secondary schools and 2 classes for secondary schools. Middle schools have 4 classes namely grade 7, grade 8, grade 9, and  grade 10, while in secondary school have 2 classes namely grade 11 and grade 12. In high school they have around 50 students each class, they have clinics for the sick will be directly handled by doctors, have a wide field for ceremonies, and they have laboratory space such as biology laboratories, physical laboratories, chemical laboratories and others.

1.3 Teaching System

At ISAT U - laboratory school they strive to ensure that every student has every opportunity to succeed. The teacher and homeroom teacher will help students who experience academic difficulties. If the teacher knows that student scores are declining, they will help students by giving consultations. If there are students who are still late in collecting the project the teacher will continue to wait so that each student has good grades at the end of the semester.

Each teacher handles one subject to be taught, teaching subjects for each subject are 1 hour / meeting. The school starts from 7.30 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon. The teacher usually reviews the topics that students already have at the last meeting when they start teaching about new topics.

1.4 Materials and Other Learning Sources

The main learning resources at the ISAT U-Laboratory school are the books provided by the school. Schools often make students use the Internet as other learning resources, schools also provide TV students to present presentations or videos and blackboards to the media to explain the concept. Teachers usually use their own books, teacher guides, and other sources such as the internet, e-books, textbooks as their material and learning resources.

1.5 Measurement and Evaluation

School's measurement and evaluation uses quiz, assignments, and final assignments. Each quiz is held after one chapter is completed and each sub topic has tasks that must be done by students. And in their final assignment they made the final project in one group.The minimum grade needed to pass a specific learning area is 75. All grades will be based on a weighted raw score from the summative assessment of students. Students from Grades 1 to 12 are assessed at Written Work, Performance Tasks, and Quarterly Assessments every quarter. All three are given a certain percentage of weight which varies according to the nature of the learning area.

1.6 Curriculum

The curriculum that used by ISAT U - laboratory school is k to 12 curriculum guide science. The curriculum Science education aims to develop scientific literacy among students that will prepare them to be informed and participative citizens who are able to make judgments and decisions regarding applications of scientific knowledge that may have social, health, or environmental impacts. The science curriculum recognizes the place of science and technology in everyday human affairs. It integrates science and technology in the civic, personal, social, economic, and the values and ethical aspect of life. The science curriculum promotes a strong link between science and technology, including indigenous technology, keeping our country’s cultural uniqueness and peculiarities intact. 

1.7 Teaching Plan

Iloilo Science and Technology University-Laboratory School  uses detailed teaching plans, so what is conveyed in the class must be included in the lesson plan. The teacher must make lesson plans every time they want to teach.

 

Pedagogical Contetns

2.1 Teaching Methods Of The Teacher That You Observed 

Based on my observations, the teachers at ISAT U- laboratory school they used a student-centered method. And sometimes she asks students for opinions about learning material so students immediately ask for their opinions about the material. If the student's answer is less precise, she will usually explain more about the material so that students understand it.

It's just that the time spent on the method is student-centered very much. While the time given is only 1 hour for 1 meeting and in each class there are around 50 students. Discussing questions in 1 meeting is only the teacher who explains the material and asks students to explain the topic discussed and at the next meeting students are just working on a task or quiz.

 

2.2 Their Learning Materials And Innovation 

Materials for grade 7 are location of the Philippines, how to read Maps, Shaping the landscape and Natural Resources. My cooperating teacher use TV for learning media that will present presentations on learning material. She shows students the concepts and exercises for students. I use the projector for learning media and I bring pictures to students so that they better understand the material being taught. It is an innovation so that students don't just look at power points.

2.3 Sources Of Learning And Technology Used By The Teachers

The source of learning is to use books, teacher books, student books and from the internet. The technology used in learning uses a TV that will display slides, or sometimes using a laptop and projector that will display power points.

2.4 Authentic Assessment Used By The Teachers

Authentic assessment used by the teacher is the activity of students in the classroom, assignments during the learning process, quizzes held by the teacher, the results of midterm student evaluations and the final project carried out by students.

 

 

Teaching Plan

3.1 Curriculum

ISAT U-Laboratory School uses the K-12 curriculum. This curriculum leads to science. Science education aims to develop scientific literacy among students that will prepare them to be informed and participative citizens who can make judgments and decisions regarding the application of scientific knowledge that may have social, health, or environmental impacts. This curriculum it integrates science and technology in the civic, personal, social, economic, and the values ​​and ethical aspects of life. As a whole, the K to 12 science curriculum is learner-centered and inquiry-based, emphasizing the use of evidence in constructing explanations.

2.      Discussion Location of the Philippines Two ways to define the location of a place: 1.      Relative location -          The location is in relation to other places. 2.      Absolute location -          It references a place on the earth’s surface based on specific geographic coordinates, such as latitude and longitude. ·         The philippines is bounded by the luzon strait to the north, the philippine sea to the east, the west philippine and sulu seas to the west and the celebes sea to the south Globe ·         Used to illustrate the absolute location of places on earth. ·         It is a three-dimensional model that can be subdivided with imaginary lines called latitude (horizontal) and longitude (vertical). ·         The exact geographical location of the Philippines on the world map is a range of latitude ang longitude coordinates. ·         The philippines is located between 5º to 21º north latitude and 114º to 127º  east longitude. Latitude lines run horizontally around the globe. The equator is a horizontal line, designated as a zero degree (0º) latitude and divides the globe into northern and southern hemispheres. Longitude lines run vertically across the globe, beginning from the north pole going toward the south pole. In map there are lines of latitude and longitude are used to locate a spesific place on the map. Two lines delineate the eastern and western halves of the globe: ·         Prime meridian - is designated as zero degree (0º) longitude and passes through the town of Greenwich in England. ·         Antimeridian -          Directly opposite of the prime meridian -          Also known as International Date Line, designated as 180º longitude. ·         Longitudinal lines indicate how far east or west a certain location is with reference to the prime meridian. ·         The philippines is located between 114º to 127ºE, which means it lies to the east of the Greenwich, England and to the west of the antermeridian. How to Read Maps Maps ·         are two dimensional drawings or three-dimensional representations of a particular area. ·         It shows the location of the countries on the world and the bodies of water surrounding them. ·         Latitudinal lines run horizontally across the map to designate a position north or south of the equator. ·         Longitudinal lines run vertically across the map, perpendicular to the latitudinal lines, and designate an east to west position on the globe. ·         The coordinates are measured in degrees (⁰), minutes (′), and seconds (″), where there are 60 seconds in one minute and 60 minutes in one degree.  ·         Latitudinal lines go from 0⁰ to 90⁰ N for the northern half of Earth above the equator, 0⁰ to 90⁰ S for countries south of the equator. ·         Longitudinal lines run from 0⁰ to 180⁰ E or W on Earth’s surface. ·         The equator is designated as zero degrees latitude, and the prime meridian, which passes through Greenwich, is designated as the reference zero degrees longitude.
3.      Generalization So, Let’s see if you have learned something about our today’s topic. Where is the Philippines located in the map? What is the two imaginary lines in the globe? What is the difference between map and globe?	The philippines is located between 5º to 21º north latitude and 114º to 127º  east longitude. Latitudinal and longitudinal lines Map is a two dimensional drawing or three-dimensional representation of a particular area while globe is a three-dimensional model that can be subdivided with imaginary lines.

2.    Discussion a.       Shaping the landscape There are natural forces and humanmade activities. Natural forces some forces have been acting on and shaping the surface of earth throughout its history. This concept is known as the principle of uniformitarianism. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, weathering, erosion, landslides, storms in the past have changed the landscape. These events still and will continue to shape earth’s surface today, but at different rates and intensities. Volcanic eruptions may release tons of dust and ash, life-threatening gases, and hot molten rocks onto eart’s surface. The accumulation of volcanic materials will inevitably alter the landscape right after the eruption, but it also eventually increases the fertility of the region once the volcanic materials weather into soil. Humanmade forces , the rise in population and demand for human settlement has reduced the number of prime lands that are used for food production and has led to the destruction of the habitats of many differents species of plants and animal life. Also, because of improper land use, soil erosion has resulted in severe loss of topsoil, deterioration of agricultural lands, increased occurrence of flooding and increased sedimentation of rivers, lakes and reservoirs.
