Abstract	Readiness to teach is a major outcome of teacher preparation, especially in the area of science education where the combination of content knowledge, pedagogy and technology is critical to effective teaching. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence on the manifestation of levels of these competences among the preservice teachers in developing environments. The study aimed to examine the pre-deployment preparedness, technical competence, implementation of the science curriculum and readiness to teach of preservice science teachers in the Philippine teacher education framework. The study employed a quantitative descriptive study technique. Using a validated questionnaire, data were obtained from 206 preservice science teachers and 206 cooperating teachers coming from selected teacher education institutes in Davao City. The analyses were performed via descriptive statistics. Findings showed very high levels of pre-deployment preparedness.
