Abstract/Summary
On account of the recurrently observed indifference toward the Biology course of students who are not majoring in science, it was deemed necessary to think of a possible solution. Varied innovative techniques were tried, the most recent of which was Values Integration. The investigation addressed two major concerns: (1) the effectiveness of integrating values in teaching Biology to the non-science students and (2) the scientific values which may lend themselves readily to Biology teaching-learning process. With the application of the t-test/ranking method/frequency determination to evaluate Biology test and opinionaire data scores, it was found out that: in general, the group taught with Values Integration performed significantly better than the group taught without Values Integration the scientific values of open-mindedness, initiative, diligence, search for truth, and persistence were consistent with the teaching of biology and the science of life was a welcomed source of learning by the non-science students.
It may be concluded that: Values Integration is effective as an innovative technique in teaching, since it improves both academic and attitudinal performance in Biology of the non-science students there are scientific values consistent with the teaching of Biology and the prevailing attitudes toward Biology even by the non-science students is a positive one. All these suggest that VALUES INTEGRATION technique supports the DECS' official recommendation to align values in teaching all levels of education.
