Abstract. The rapid advancement of technology, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging innovations, has reshaped the education landscape, necessitating the modernization of academic programs to meet future demands. This study assesses the readiness of the Bachelor of Science in Education (BSE) Science curriculum at Pangasinan State University for integrating AI and emerging technologies. Qualitative data were collected from students, faculty, the college dean, the program chairperson, and the director for curriculum to identify gaps and recommend curriculum enhancements. Key findings reveal significant curriculum limitations, including outdated content and insufficient focus on technology, hinder students’ preparedness for careers in a digital world. Participants emphasized the need for practical learning experiences, such as hands-on projects and real-world applications, to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practice. Faculty development in AI and digital tools was highlighted as critical for teaching effectiveness. Participants recommended incorporating AI, machine learning, and data science fundamentals to future-proof the curriculum and address institutional constraints like limited resources and infrastructure challenges. The study recommends a comprehensive curriculum overhaul that integrates advanced technologies enhances digital literacy and emphasizes professional development for faculty to align with global educational trends. These changes are essential to prepare future science educators for the dynamic demands of modern education and the evolving workforce.
