Attainment of Research Learning Outcomes among Senior High School

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

Using a descriptive quantitative research design, this study aimed to assess the attainment of learning outcomes in Research among 272 Senior High School students across Practical Research 1, Practical Research 2, and Research Project. Data were analyzed using weighted mean to evaluate students’ level of attainment and One-Way ANOVA to determine significant differences across subjects. Results revealed that while students attain the expected learning outcomes, gaps remain in research conceptualization and methodological application. Despite the overall attainment, the study exposes a research gap in the consistency and depth of students’ research skills across the three subjects. These findings highlight the need for targeted instructional improvements to ensure students are comprehensively prepared for higher academic and professional research demands.
