Science education faces monumental changes in terms of curriculum design and approach brought about by the challenges of globalization and diversifying educational landscapes. This study sought to test the effects of Biology Learning Station Strategy (BLISS) to the academic achievement and attitude of junior high school Science students. This action research utilized a within-group pretest-posttest experimental design involving 28 Grade 10 Science students of a government-run secondary school in Central Luzon, Philippines. The study found out that prior to the intervention, the junior high school Science students were performing below average in terms of Science achievement and have slightly positive attitude towards Biology. After the intervention, the students’ Science achievement and their attitude towards Biology had improved. BLISS was found to be an effective differentiated learning strategy in improving the Science achievement and attitude towards Biology of students. There was a positive correlation between Science achievement and attitude towards Biology.

Automatic Item Generation

The purpose of this chapter is to describe and illustrate a template-based method for automatically generating test items. This method can be used to produce a large numbers of high-quality items both quickly and efficiency. To highlight the practicality and feasibility of automatic item generation, we demonstrate the application of this method in the content area of junior high school science. We also describe the results from a study designed to evaluate the quality of the generated science items. Our chapter is divided into four sections. In section one, we describe the methodology. In the section two, we illustrate the method using items generated for a junior high school physics curriculum. In section three, we present the results from a study designed to evaluate the quality of the generated science items. In section four, we conclude the chapter and identify one important area for future research.
