PINOY KIDS’ BIG FEAT AT 2008 RIO TINTO SCIENCE TILT

Aug 01, 2008

It is another remarkable conquest for the Filipino kids who ventured to take the challenge, this time not in mathematics but in the Philippines’ second participation- the 2008 Rio TINTO Big Science Competition held on June 28, 2008 under the supervision of the Mathematics Trainers’ Guild, Philippines and the Department of Science and Technology – Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI). The said competition encourages critical thinking and problem solving skills. It combines science with information technology to encourage young science-minded students to explore and engage in science education. It also creates opportunities for contestants to discover the relevance of science in our world.

This year’s results made a good number of Filipino high schoolers stand out to emerge as recipients of the high distinction and distinction awards. The impressive performance of these high school students led to get hold of eighteen certificates of High Distinction and fifty four certificates of Distinction. The significant increase of awardees in this year’s Rio TINTO Big Science Competition indicates that our students are positive in taking the challenge of this contest.

The DOST-SEI in tandem with the MTG broadens not only the mathematical dimension of the Filipino youths but also the scientific inclination of the students through the RIO TINTO Big Science Competition. Through the students’ exposure in this contest coupled with the results of the competition measures the extent of the scientific knowledge of the kids. Thus, reflects the present instructional set-ups in schools which include the questions on “what is taught and how is taught” in the science class. Hopefully, the results of the RIO TINTO will give educators the insights on how to strengthen science education in the Philippines.

Moreover, the results of the competition and the certificates will be sent to your respective schools. In few days time, both result and certificates will be in your hands. Congratulations!
