Teachers’ perceptions, experiences, and suggestions toward spiral progression of chemistry contents

This study investigated the teachers’ perceptions, experiences, and suggestions toward the spiral progression of chemistry contents in Junior High School. The respondents were four science teachers at Don Carlos National High School. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis. It was found that Content and knowledge and Allotment are the themes revealed from teachers’ perceptions. Conceptual understanding, Variations, Expertise, and Time for the teachers’ experiences. Lastly, Specialization, Simplification, and Planning were the themes revealed for the teachers’ suggestions on implementing the spiral progression approach. Therefore, it was recommended that it would be highly beneficial to investigate the experiences of present science teachers in other larger districts within the division of Bukidnon, or even in other areas of the Philippines, and curriculum planners should give science teachers with sufficient information to address the spiral progression in a more effective way.
