Abstract/Summary

The main output of this study is a standardized test named Integrated Science Process Skills Test (ISPST). This is a paper-and-pencil group test of the multiple choice type with four options for each item. The test measures the skills of students in five integrated science process skills, namely: a. identifying variables (IV) b. operationally defining variables (ODV) c. designing investigation (DI) d. graphing and interpreting data (GID) and e. inferring and stating hypothesis (ISH). Norms were established for third year and fourth year Filipino high school students. In the course of establishing the norms for the test, it was found that: 1. Fourth year high school students obtained significantly higher scores than the third year students. 2. Students under science-oriented curriculum got significantly higher scores than those under the general curriculum. 3. The test had significant correlations with the following student variables: a. type of curriculum b. grade in science c. age and d. sex.
