ABSTRACT

Cellular Respiration, the mechanism of how organisms generate energy to sustain activities while living, is one of the challenging topics to teach and learn in Biology. There is therefore a need for aspiring elementary educators in science to evaluate the defined instructional package for this topic. This study was conducted at a private university in Iloilo City, Philippines, to describe the evaluation of a cellular respiration instructional package in a Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEED) Biology class. This was conducted during the first semester of the school year 2019-2020. The study used descriptive research from 22 out of 23 BEED Biology class. The cellular respiration instructional package significantly increased the BEED Biology class' knowledge (Z=3.52; p=0.00). Generally, the print instructional package for cellular respiration was rated excellent (M = 91.25%, SD = 2.03). Creative and rational thoughts, improvement of scientific attitude and reasoning, constructive work, helpfulness or collaboration or cooperation, solidarity and willingness to know the right and the wrong were the top values viewed by the BEED Biology class. The study provided a basis of the use of a developed instructional package for cellular respiration among BEED students.
