Preparedness and Proficiency Level of Learners in Disaster-Related Contents in Science

Country Philippines
Abstract The Philippines is among the most disaster-prone countries globally, frequently experiencing typhoons, earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions. These recurring hazards disrupt education and community stability, underscoring the need for schools to integrate disaster risk reduction into the curriculum. This study examined the relationship between disaster preparedness and proficiency in disaster-related content among Grade 8 learners in Science. A descriptive-correlational design was employed, involving 206 Grade 8 learners from a public secondary school in Central Philippines during the Academic Year 2025–2026. Disaster preparedness was measured using a researcher-made test, while proficiency was assessed through disaster-related items in the Quarter 3 examination. Findings revealed that learners demonstrated high disaster preparedness overall, with female students and those from economically stable families showing stronger readiness. Proficiency in disaster-related content was satisfactory, with minimal gender differences but significant disparities across socioeconomic groups. Preparedness differed significantly by sex but not by socioeconomic status, while proficiency showed the opposite pattern. A moderate positive correlation was found between preparedness and proficiency, indicating that knowledge and readiness reinforce each other. The study concludes that disaster education initiatives are effective but require continuous reinforcement. Inclusive strategies, participatory simulations, and equitable access to resources are recommended to strengthen both preparedness and scientific proficiency. These findings highlight the importance of integrating practical disaster learning experiences into the curriculum to foster resilience among learners.
