Abstract
Science Education relies on its core to develop scientific literacy and knowledge application. To realize this objective, learners must be given the avenue to conduct researches particularly the conduct of a Science Investigatory Projects (SIP). This descriptive-correlational study aimed to determine the Learners’ Engagement in the conduct of Science Investigatory Project (SIP) and Its Influence to Science Process Skills among the Grade 8, 9, and 10 Special Program in Science, Technology and Engineering (SPSTE) learners of Tigbauan National High School, Tigbauan, Iloilo, Philippines for School Year 2020-2021.The respondents of this study were chosen using a purposive sampling technique, specifically total population sampling, in order to examine all SPSTE learners with a specific set of characteristics. This study used a researcher-made questionnaire validated by panel of experts and subjected to reliability testing. The data gathered were analyzed using frequency count, percentage and mean. For inferential statistics, the researcher used Mann-Whitney U-test, Kruskal-Wallis H-test and Spearman Rho. The result revealed that the learners’ level of engagement in the conduct of Science Investigatory Project is high and their Science Process Skills is very high. It is also found out that learners’ engagement in SIP has an influence on their Science Process Skills. Furthermore, the researcher recommends that to further improve the science process skills of learners, experiential learning and problem-based approach should be applied in teaching learners how to conduct Science Investigatory Project.
