Science in Today’s World for Senior High School: Empowerment Technologies —The 21st century society demands a level-up on the skills an individual brings especially to the world of work. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) considered as one of the most dynamic aspects of one’s life offers tons of opportunities in the K to 12 curriculum for an individual to be equipped. It is being considered as a tool for curating, contextualizing, collaborating, and creating content and its purpose can help an individual to best address challenges in one’s chosen career. This textbook will help the student go over the ICT concepts that are prerequisite for the skills needed in the world of work. The skills they will learn using this book will help them to critically assess content and its purpose that will enable them to best address challenges in their chosen career.

Science in Today’s World: Research in Daily Life 1 is carefully written to give students fundamental knowledge in research across different fields. It provides discussions and activities that help students understand the processes involved in conducting qualitative research and help them improve their analytical and critical thinking skills. The book also contains features that will develop students’ appreciation of the values and importance of research in everyday life. Moreover, assessments are designed to provide opportunities for students to experience “research in action.”

Science in Today’s World: Research in Daily Life 2 offers a basic, inclusive, and comprehensive overview and concept-based discussion of the quantitative research process prescribed by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum in the Philippines. The book first examines the nature of scientific inquiry and of quantitative research. It then details the general steps in doing a practical quantitative investigation—from discussing the sources of problems in daily life and from research literature to writing the research report and oral dissemination of research findings. Further, the book provides a well and meticulously selected set of features that not only easily facilitates students’ understanding of the research processes but also helps generate solutions to everyday problems experienced by students coming from a wide range of socioeconomic status.

GTLH: Practical Research 1: Qualitative Research equips senior high school studentswith the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes to plan and conduct research on a topic of interest utilizing qualitative methods. As the book provides an introduction to the discipline of research, a chapter of the book briefly defines what is meant by research, and expounds on how the discipline is different from other ways of knowing. A brief explanation of qualitative research, its various approaches, and its strengths and weaknesses are presented. Consequently, the book guides its readers through all the stages of research from identifying a research topic, to fleshing out the introduction to one’s research, to reviewing related literature, to developing a research design, to gathering data through interviews and observation, analysis and working out conclusions and recommendations. The book also provides a background on the research report as well as the presentation of one’s study. As an introductory text, the book uses a conversational tone. Explanations and techniques covered were purposively simplified. Doing so allows it to take its readers by the hand to actually conduct their own research projects. Lessons were developed with the expectation that learners will immediately be applied rather than left as abstract ideas.

GTLH: Practical Research 2: Quantitative Research equips senior high school students with the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes to plan and conduct research on a topic of interest utilizing basic quantitative methods. It explains briefly how quantitative research methods are different from qualitative research methods, the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, and when the use of quantitative research methods should be considered. The book walks readers through the various stages involved in conducting a quantitative research study from identifying a suitable topic, to developing the research questions, to reviewing the literature, to selecting and planning an appropriate quantitative method, to organizing and analyzing the data, to interpreting the results, and to writing the research report. It also describes the key sections of a research report, introduces basic guiding principles and ideas, and provides concrete examples, tips, and explanations in developing and writing them. As an introductory text, the quantitative methods covered were purposively simplified and limited to those that can easily be learned and immediately applied by senior high school students in their own research projects. The book was designed following a philosophy of experiential learning. Lessons were developed with the expectation that knowledge and skills covered will be immediately applied.

Math for Engaged Learning: Precalculus Second Edition is intended to cater to the needs of senior high school students following the standards set by DepEd as indicated in the K to 12 curriculum guide. Emphasis is given on mathematical skills and performance tasks or project-based activities. It uses mastery and analytical approach. The discussions vary in style depending on the topic of interest so that the approach may involve backward design, discovery approach, or outcome-based approach. This book covers analytic geometry, series and mathematical induction, trigonometry including circular functions, trigonometric identities, inverse trigonometric functions, and polar coordinate system.

Math Connections in the Digital Age: Precalculus covers the prerequisite topics of calculus. It provides an intuitive learning approach that promotes easier understanding of the lessons. It has easy-to-follow lessons and step-by-step solutions for examples. It strengthens the math literacy of students through its problem-based approach. With this textbook, learners will be equipped with the essential tools needed to understand and solve problems preparatory to calculus. Learning competencies in the book comply with the K to 12 curriculum for senior high school. It focuses on teaching the students how to apply concepts and solve problems involving conic sections, systems of linear equations, series and mathematical induction, circular and trigonometric functions, trigonometric identities, and polar coordinate system.
