Students, in this way should possess 21st century skills since it gives an emphasis on utilizing the higher levels of thinking of the students. This study investigates the relationship between the learning skills of junior high school students and their academic performance in Chemistry. Using Marzano's taxonomy of learning, the study evaluates students cognitive, metacognitive, and self - system learning skills. The teaching strategies, methods, and techniques used by science teachers are also examined. The study concludes that students who have mastered higher - order skills perform better in Chemistry.
