Abstract :
To develop a teacher’s potential in teaching, the teacher’s competence in pedagogy and instructions must be considered and discussed in depth. This study aims to assess the science instructors` knowledge level in conducting scientific research and determine its implications for their teaching methodology. The study is descriptive research to describe teachers` pedagogical and instructional competence. The population consists of 34 science teachers who are conveniently selected. The instrument is adapted from studies related to teachers’ competence and was rated as very satisfactory to very poor. The study was conducted online using Google forms. Science teachers in the study have very satisfactory pedagogical and instructional materials. However, there is a need to attend more training in pedagogical models and must consider students learning styles. The study results are only limited to the respondents and do not generalize its conclusions to all science teachers. Further study is recommended to prove these findings.
