Abstract	The study examined the level of teacher’s training in laboratory management, pedagogical techniques and students’ engagement, laboratory exposure, and learning outcomes in laboratory-based science instruction. Non-experimental research design was utilized in gathering data from 578 participants, which included faculty members and undergraduate students, from randomly chosen institutions of higher learning located in Davao City, Philippines. Data were gathered using a validated survey instrument with a very high reliability coefficient (the Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were between .942 and .980). Descriptive analysis was applied to identify the mean and standard deviation of each variable. The findings revealed that teachers had very high levels of training in laboratory management and pedagogy. In a similar manner, the students showed extremely high levels of engagement, lab experiences, and learning. The results discussed above are pertinent to the need for ongoing professional development and the use of student-centered and inquiry-based labs in science teaching.
