Implementation of Spiral Progression Approach of Teaching Science in Secondary Schools: A Review of Related Literature

The Philippines' adoption of the K to 12 curriculum introduced a definite approach to science education known as spiral progression. This method emphasizes revisiting and expanding upon scientific concepts in a progressively complex manner over time. While the theoretical underpinnings of spiral progression are wellestablished, empirical research on its application in the Philippine context remains limited, particularly in private secondary schools. This study seeks to address this gap by examining how science teachers perceive and implement the spiral curriculum. By evaluating its impact on student learning outcomes and scientific literacy, the study aims to shed light on the effectiveness of the spiral approach in enhancing science education. The spiral progression approach shows promise for engaging and effective science education. However, further research is needed to fully understand its impact on student learning and to optimize its implementation in the classroom.
