Research Characteristics And Challenges Of Deped: Towards A Proposed Program

Joana Rose M. Espiritu

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study examined the research characteristics and challenges of mega national high schools with SBM Level III status of practice in the region. Particularly, it attempted to (1) describe DepEd – Region III’s research characteristics along the areas of institutional, individual and leadership; (2) determine the challenges encountered by school heads in facilitating research; (3) propose a research program to address these challenges; and (4) draw implications from the proposed program to educational management. The descriptive research design was employed to address these. Using the Cochran’s formula and through stratified and chain-referral system of snowball sampling, 53 school heads and 385 secondary school teachers were considered adequate representatives of the participants. Confirmations of existing research characteristics were recorded using a modified checklist-questionnaire based on the tools of Iqbal, Jalal and Mahmood (2018) and Adekunle and Madukoma (2022) while challenges encountered were determined through a self-structured checklistquestionnaire.
