Abstract
The increasing number, intensity, and unpredictability of natural hazards all
over the world has increased the call and consensus to integrate disaster risk reduction
in existing school curricula such as the science curriculum of the Philippine basic
education programme. Considering that disaster risk reduction is an emerging concern,
it brings a number of opportunities and challenges in the education sector including
public schools. This multiphase study was aimed at developing a model of a science
teacher professional development on disaster risk reduction for public school teachers
in Biliran Province, the Philippines. Study 1 attempted to explore the implementation
of disaster risk reduction in schools specifically the integration and teaching of disaster
risk reduction in science from grades 3 to 10 through document analysis of key
curriculum documents and interviews of key stakeholders including the disaster risk
reduction coordinator, school principals, science teachers, and students whose
selection was guided by the theoretical sampling principles of the Grounded theory.
Informed by the results of Study 1, Study 2 attempted to measure the influence of
technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge, as well as values, beliefs, and
norms on teaching disaster risk reduction from among 189 science teachers selected
through cluster sampling. Results of Study 2 together with existing guidelines from
the Department of Education informed Study 3 that attempted to develop a
contextualized model of a science teacher professional development on disaster risk
reduction through Delphi process participated by ten purposively selected experts
