Abstract

This paper concerns the learning outcomes of the students’ in basic education in the subjects Science and Mathematics as a basis for a proposed Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for teachers in Diliman Elementary School (DES) in the Philippines. It employs document analysis of the Mean Percentage Score (MPS) of the National Achievement Test results for a five-year period from 2013-2018. Results show that learning outcomes in Science per Grade/Level is increasing as reflected by their mean of 78.82, 80.22, 81.01, 81.71, 81.92, and 82.30 respectively but per school year, the result was generally declining. For Mathematics, learning outcomes vary. It can be noted that there is an increase in performance for Grades I, II, IV and V. However, learning performance for Grades III and VI decreases. As per School Year (SY), learning outcomes in Mathematics reported a diminishing pattern, aggregate performance decreases as the year progresses. It can be safely concluded from the results of the study that learning outcomes in basic curriculum is declining as time advances. A Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Plan was proposed and highly recommended for implementation.
