Abstract
This research is a preliminary model/theory building based on Pandit’s process of building grounded theory from case studies and is qualitative in nature. The purpose of the study is to describe, analyze, and categorize what makes an excellent science teacher. Science teachers who were recipients of Teaching Excellence Award in Biology, Chemistry and Physics (in the Philippines) were selected using purposive sampling. Multiple methods of data collection were used, including, interviews, classroom observations and students’ evaluation.
