Learning Action Cell (LAC) sessions are systematic professional development and cost-efficient activities based on schools designed to continually improve pedagogical capabilities, teaching strategies, and evaluation practices expected to yield better academic performance of students. This study examined the implementation of the LAC as an in-house development training for science teachers in the remote areas of the Philippines. A total of 403 science teachers participated in the study to gather their views and beliefs on, implementation practices, classroom applications, and the challenges and benefits they encountered in Learning Action Cells (LAC). The quantitative measures were gathered through the researcher-constructed survey questionnaire. The qualitative data came from a case study using five (5) focus group discussions (FGD) and twenty (20) in-depth interviews exploring the experiences of science teachers in the four domains: personal domain, external domain, the domain of LAC application, and LAC challenges and benefits. Based on the findings, LAC improves the views of teachers toward professional development training. LAC is relative to science teachers and recognizes adaptability to the effectiveness of professional development. Thus, the success of LAC posits quality training that targets clear objectives. LAC helps science teachers enhance their content knowledge and pedagogical learning. LAC produces authentic scientific output, which includes an action research proposal, resource speakership, learning activity sheet, intervention, contextualized learning plan, and innovation. The Learning Action Cell is vital in science teaching. It is deemed by science teachers that LAC helps improve instructional leadership, attitude toward professional development, and competence in teaching.
