  3. PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED BY TEACHERS Books, the internet and other possible sources for IKSP is limited in the library. Integrated Science Students are not interested, most especially those who cannot relate to the ideas of IKSPs with that of the concepts in science. Lack of sufficient evidences, visual aids and other resources during the discussion. Biology Chemistry Physics Inappropriate knowledge on facts about the IKSPs mentioned by the teacher.

  4. CONCLUSION The problems encountered by teachers are due to no mandate for them to integrate or incorporate IKSPs in their lessons, thereby limiting teachers to what they are told to by the authority. This unfortunately leads to impeding the willingness of teachers and their students to grow and preserve their indigenous knowledge. References and other resources are not easily available and accessible due to not having it as something necessary for the students and teachers to use: less demand = less supply. The lack of experience and motivation from the teachers on the integration of such topics influences the mood and learning attention span of students, either good or bad.

  5. IKSPs USED BY TEACHERS IN SCIENCE SUBJECTS Uses of herbal, botanical plants and insects as medicine Mother and child Care Integrated Science Biology Traditional ways of measuring Names and characteristics of trees, shrubs and other plants found on land Chemistry Knowing native wines or beverages and how it is prepared Musical Instruments from natural resources Physics

  6. CONCLUSIONS Based from the findings, it is concluded that secondary science teachers use several topics related to Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practices (IKSPs), for them to elaborate, explain and help connect the students understanding on science to the local and traditional knowledge that is present in their surroundings. Moreover, comprehension on the similarities and connections of indigenous knowledge to modern science is determined by both parties to further explain the concepts discussed in the classroom and thereby strengthening learning competencies.

  7. LEVEL OF EFFECTIVENESS OF IKSPs USED BY TEACHERS IN SCIENCE SUBJECTS Integrated Science indigenous herbal, botanical plants and insects for medicine wildlife ME forest system river systems Biology caring for the sick. E diseases or illnesses that can be cured by indigenous medicinal plants used by ethnic groups. ethnic houses structuring of different houses Chemistry ME indigenous materials used for constructing ethnic houses. Physics ME maternal and child care. body ornaments.

  8. CONCLUSION Furthermore, the IKSPs identified differ in its effectiveness when incorporated in the teaching of different science subjects. Several IKSPs were found to be highly effective as well as effective in specific subjects and moderately effective on other subjects. This then states that not all IKSPs can be used in one, two or all of the science subject topics as examples. Biology and Integrated Science does not have any significant difference due to the abundance of IKSPs that can be integrated in both subjects. Whereas Physics and Chemistry is more abstract in nature thereby making it difficult for IKSPs to come in.

  9. RECOMMENDATIONS • Teachers should continue and add more Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practices (IKSPs) during science discussions; • Public secondary science teachers should have a solid understanding of IKSPs; • Educators should be more resourceful and responsible; • Teachers should take into consideration the interest of their students in learning; • Schools and teachers should collect resources or make their own researches on IKSPs; • Education sector can have IKSPs as mandated area of the subjects by including it in the curriculum; • Seminars, trainings, symposiums and other gatherings that can add to and improve the knowledge of students and teachers regarding IKSPs.
