The shift toward post-pandemic instruction has depended on technology-based learning, which aims to address the diverse needs and interests of students. Pedagogies such as brain-based strategies through cognitive fitness activities, as well as crosscutting concepts, have been adopted in science education to align with the current context. This highlights the primary goal of this needs assessment study to identify how the strategies mentioned above are being maximized in a technology-integrated instruction by science teachers in the Philippine educational setting. Surveys, including Likert scale and open-ended questions, were used to assess teachers’ perceptions and practices regarding these pedagogies. Findings show that teachers strongly agree with using different brain-based learning through cognitive fitness activities, as technology-based learning aligns with how often they incorporate these activities into their practices. Moreover, teachers identify varying crosscutting concepts in teaching science disciplines. Overall, these ideas suggest the potential of cognitive fitness activities in developing teaching models in science, with consideration of incorporating crosscutting concepts into instructional content design to provide a more adaptive and personalized learning experience for students, aligning with the demands of Education 5.0.
