Abstract:

This article discusses the impact of the Excellence in Teacher Education Act (Republic Act No. 7784) on research productivity and its significance in advancing educational practices and policies in the Philippines. The act promotes a research culture by integrating research components into teacher education programs and establishing standards for research competencies. It aims to enhance the competencies of teachers and teacher educators by developing research skills through training programs and workshops. Collaboration and knowledge sharing are encouraged among teacher education institutions, facilitating the exchange of research findings and best practices. The act emphasizes evidence-based decision-making and the formulation of research-backed policies. The establishment of research centers and networks further promotes collaborative research efforts and creates platforms for disseminating research outputs. The act's provisions focus on faculty development, program assessment, curriculum development, integration of research into the curriculum, dissemination of research findings, and support for educators in conducting research. Policymakers can use the act as a guide to understand the legislative framework, evaluate existing measures, identify gaps, and make informed decisions to enhance research integration and productivity in teacher education programs.
