This study involved 400 students from different public and private schools in the municipality of Calinog, Iloilo Western Visayas, Philippines. The quantitative data were collected using researcher-made questionnaires to identify the level of science anxiety and self-esteem, while science and technology performance were measured by their GPA grade in science subjects.
