Research statistics of the graduates in Physics Education at De La Salle University (1985−1997)

Abstract

The Science Education Department of the Graduate School of Education, Arts and Sciences (GSEAS) of De La Salle University was established in 1963 in response to the needs of updating secondary education in the country through teacher training and faculty development programs. In 1976, GSEAS went a step further by enriching the curriculum offering to the tertiary level. The first doctoral program in science education was offered in 1980. In 1989, GSEAS was restructured. Since then, the Science Education Department (SED) was integrated into the College of Education.
This study aims to establish a data bank on the master's theses and doctoral dissertations in Physics Eduction done by the graduates of the Science Education Department of De La Salle University from 1984−1997. It hopes to provide procedure, patterns and teaching pedagogy that are effective and efficient in detecting, correcting and solving the educational problems, hence, improving and upgrading the educational system in the Philippines. As such, it demonstrates that the teaching-learning process is a multifaceted process that must be revised constantly to meet the needs of the students, community and the country.
