Roleda  \nDe La Salle University-Manila  \nPhilippines  \nThis study used a modified version of the Perception of Science Classes Survey (Kardash & Wallace, 2001) to survey 7,885 grade school and high school students in different provinces in the Philippines regarding their perceptions of their science classes. Factor analysis revealed five dimensions of the students’ perceptions that relate to different aspects of the teacher’s pedagogy and the learning environment created by the teachers: (a) Learner-Centered Pedagogy, (b) Science Inquiry Activities, (c) Positive Affect and Attitudes, (d) Grades as Feedback, and (e) Support for Self-Learning and Effort. Factor scores were compared across grade levels and genders. The results indicate a decrease in science inquiry activities and the use of grades as feedback in the higher grades, but an increase in support for self-learning and effort, and also positive affects and attitudes.  \nThese trends were discussed in relation to possible problems related to teacher practices that may contribute to low student achievement levels in science.  \nKey words: student perceptions, science education, Philippines  \nFilipino students’ poor achievement levels in science have been documented for several years now. In 1996, the national mean score in the science test of the National Elementary Achievement Test was 41.5% . A recent National Achievement Test showed that in 2005, the meanscore in the science test was 54.1% for grade 6 students, and only 14.8% of grade 6 science students attained mastery levels of the science curriculum goals. For the 4th year high  \nAllan B. I. Bernardo, Counseling and Educational Psychology, De La Salle University-Manila, Philippines; Auxencia A. Limjap, Maricar S. Prudente, Lydia S.

These low achievement levels are also documented in international assessments of science education. In the Trends in International Math and Science Study (Martin, Mullis, Gonzalez, & Chrostowki, 2004), Filipino grade 4 students ranked third from last out of 25 countries in science, with an average rating of 332. The average international rating was 489, and the highest rating by any country was 565. The grade 8 students ranked fourth from last out of 46 countries with an average rating of 377 in science. The average international rating was 474, and the highest rating by any country was 578. The TIMSS also showed that among grade 4 students, girls performed better than boys, but that this advantage of girls was no longer found in grade 8.  \nMany different studies have analyzed the sources of the problem and these analyses have pointed to a range of interrelated factors such as an inadequate science curriculum  \nAllan B.
