Orleans  \nDr., Philippine Normal University, Philippines, [orleans.av@pnu.edu.ph](orleans.av@pnu.edu.ph)  \nThe Learning Action Cell (LAC) is a structured, cost-effective professional development initiative to continuously enhance school pedagogical competencies, teaching methodologies, and assessment practices. This study explored the science teachers’ perceived views, attitudes, and knowledge on the impact of the LAC program as an in-house professional development training in remote areas of the Philippines. The study employed a quantitative approach using a researcher-made survey questionnaire involving science teachers (n = 430) from six division offices in Region VIII. The findings revealed that teacher participants preferred the conduct of face-to-face school LAC over online LAC settings, which was found to have a significant impact on where they could physically participate and engage in the training. Also, findings show that science teachers believed that the Learning Action Cell helps them develop new teaching techniques, and they see the importance of the development program and how it enriched their knowledge, skills, and capabilities as teachers. Results show that science teachers receive and learn more ideas about content, assessment, ICT, and curriculum. Hence, LAC is believed to increase teachers' knowledge and attitudes toward professional development and acknowledges flexibility in professional development's efficiency. By determining science teachers' perceived impacts, this study provides insights into how the LAC program is experienced in remote areas in the Philippines, where access to professional development resources is limited. It gives information on how LAC can be designed to meet the needs of science teachers. Also, the findings of this study suggest that improving the design and implementation of teacher professional development programs reveals specific strategies that help or hinder the effectiveness of LACs and can inform future training programs and policy decisions.  \nKeywords: learning action cell, faculty development training, secondary education, perceived impact  \nINTRODUCTION  \nProfessional development for teacher educators is becoming increasingly important in promoting and strengthening educational practice. It is regarded as an essential component of curriculum transformation particularly in the Philippines (Barrot, 2023) Teaching quality is crucial in determining student learning outcomes (Olvido et al, 2024) . As a result, the qualities of highly effective teaching must yield a shared reference point for effective teaching and learning practice (Rasool et al., 2022; Olvido et al, 2024) .  \nThe Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST), originally known as the National Competency-Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS), served as a foundation for teacher quality. The Department of Education (DepEd) emphasizes the importance of professional standards in teachers continued professional growth and advancement based on lifelong learning. However, since its adoption, classroom teachers have expressed concerns about the amount of objectivity in evaluating  \nCitation: Vega, M. G. A., & Orleans, A. V. (2025) .
