This undergraduate research project investigated the development and evaluation of an improved teaching apparatus for grade seven earth science education. The project focused on designing and constructing a hands-on, interactive learning tool to enhance student understanding and engagement with a specific earth science concept (e.g., plate tectonics, the water cycle). The effectiveness of the new apparatus was assessed through a pilot study comparing student learning outcomes and engagement levels against traditional teaching methods. The project aimed to produce a functional and effective teaching tool, empirical data demonstrating its impact, and a comprehensive report documenting the design, evaluation, and potential for wider implementation.

The Master of Science Teaching (MST) in General Science from Mindanao State University provides advanced training for science educators. This graduate program deepens their understanding of scientific concepts across various disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science, while also enhancing their pedagogical expertise. The MST program often involves research components, allowing educators to explore innovative teaching methodologies and contribute to the improvement of science education.
