This study uses a qualitative approach which involves interviews that are analyse using Nvivo software. A qualitative
approach uses phenomenological design to recall former students’ experiences of meaningful science learning content.
Twelve experience workers were selected through purposeful sampling who had enrolled for general science in Malaysian
Certificate of Education level. The results show that there are respondents who obtained very good examination results
were less able to take advantage of the subject because most of higher learning institutions tend to choose students who
have biology or more relevant subjects in certain courses. There is a lot of learning content that is beneficial for them to use
