This study aimed to assess the competence of science teacher in teaching secondary science with spiral progression approach in terms of their knowledge on subject matter, teaching strategies, personality traits and teaching approach. Science teachers in both public and private schools within Lanao del Sur and Lanao del Norte served as the respondents of this study. The study used questionnaire as methodology and utilized the frequency distribution, correlation coefficient and regression analysis method. The result showed that the profile of the respondents specifically age, tenure and year in teaching science, and salary grade are correlated with science teacher’s competence in knowledge of subject matter. The result also showed that aside from age and tenure rank or position of the respondents is also correlated with the teaching strategies. Length of service correlates only with the personality traits of the respondents. Civil status, years in teaching, highest educational attainment correlates with the respondents teaching approach.
