Educational research aimed to improve and magnify both teachers and the school's professional learning, development, and practice through a reflective evaluation of teachers' educational practice. Educational research helps teachers and the school administrators to assess the current pedagogical practice and program implementation for continuous improvement and development. However, there are problems and issues that teachers have encountered in engaging themselves in research. One of these is low research skills, capabilities and lack of training and development programs. With this, this study aims to catechize and extrapolate the research skills and capabilities of senior high school teachers in one stand-alone public senior high school in the City of Meycauayan, Bulacan, Philippines for the School Year 2022-2023. The researcher used descriptive correlational research design to ascertain the link between and among variables. Results from the analysis of the study revealed that senior high school teachers possessed a moderate level of skills and capabilities towards research. Using Pearson r, it showed that there is a significant relationship between research skills and capabilities of senior high school teachers. With this, this study recommended to utilize the proposed research capacity-building program to enhance and uplift senior high school teachers' research skills and capabilities. A follow-up study is strongly recommended to determine if there is an improvement to the research skills and capabilities of senior high school teachers.

Teachers in the Philippine basic education sector are encouraged to promote an evidence-based policymaking culture through research. They are expected to have basic or advanced skills in conducting investigations, surveys, or experiments, as well as data analysis, in their respective teaching fields. The researcher assessed the perceived research capability of secondary school teachers in Masbate (n-1,637) during the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to improve their research skills in terms of formulating, conceptualizing, writing, constructing, and conducting research in this descriptive survey. The purpose of this study was to assess secondary school teachers' research capability, as well as the barriers they encountered and the interventions they implemented. Teachers were found to be "slightly capable" of conducting research. As a result of the findings, it is recommended that all teachers participate in a research capability enhancement program. The majority of teachers (87.72 percent) lack scientific training but are willing to participate in any research endeavor. Among the challenges encountered, solutions included participation in research trainings (84.30 percent), school-based mentoring (78.31 percent), and collaboration with experts (77.64 percent). The findings lay the groundwork for school officials to develop a functional growth plan for becoming more responsive and effective in teaching research, which is critical for students to develop critical thinking skills. Additionally, schools should provide relevant training to strengthen school-level mentoring, foster collaboration, and mandate the acquisition, creation, and distribution of current research guides to all teachers.

Recently, research capability has received an overwhelming and remarkable interest among academics and practitioners. This is timely since the Department of Education had institutionalized research and encouraged teachers to engage in it to support evidence-based practice, decision-making, policy and program development. On this premise, a study was carried out to assess the research capability of public teachers in Malaybalay City, determine its correlates and determinants. It utilized descriptive, correlational, and explanatory designs. It administered survey questionnaires to 92 participants. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that teachers were slightly capable to conducting research and having neutral attitudes toward it, motivated to write research, had a high level of difficulties in research processes, and moderately capable of action planning. They also show evidence of potential in mentoring. Further, mentoring and action planning skills, motivation to write research, attitudes toward research, and the number of studies completed by teachers were the correlates of their research capability at a different magnitudes of the relationship. Notably, the research capability of teachers had a low, negative but significant relationship with their age and accumulated years of service. Thus, this capability deteriorates as they age and accumulate years of service. The motivation to write research, the number of studies completed, and age were the determinants of research capability. It was concluded that research capability can be determined and predicted by how motivated teachers are to write research, how productive they are in research, and how young they are when they engage in this rigorous endeavor. The study identified and recommended topics for continuing professional development.

This study revealed the needs in research of the diocesan secondary school teachers of Abra as a basis for a capability enhancement program. Questionnaire, documentary analysis, and unstructured interview were the instruments used in substantiating the needed data for the study. Fortyfive (45) teachers were the respondents of the study. Descriptivecorrelational methods of investigation were utilized in the study. Teachers of the selected schools are females, unmarried, and whose age is 28 years old and below. Most of them have already started their post graduate studies and were college graduates from private higher educational institutions. Further, majority of them did not yet experience to attend seminars in research. These teachers toughly need assistance in writing research proposals particularly in conceptualizing their framework. Moreover, they mostly need help in writing research conclusions. The teachers' sex, civil status, age, highest educational attainment, type of school graduated from college, and attendance to seminars on research do not bring any significant effect to their level of needs in writing the research either in the proposal or in the full-blown research ready for journal publications. Therefore, there is really a need for the diocesan school teachers of Abra to be guided in the writing of research proposals and as well as in writing the full-blown research for journal publications. A research enhancement program is to be extended to them by agencies who provide technical support and assistance. Lastly, Administrators of these schools must send their faculty to attend research writing enhancement programs.

The accurate assessment of research self-efficacy may help identify a given self-identified strengths and weaknesses with respect to research, thereby facilitating research training and guidance. This study focused on the Master Teachers' (MTs) skills and attitudes towards research as basis for research capability building program for MTs in the Schools Division of Zambales. The study used the descriptive-survey design. The data gathered were organized and processed through the SPSS. Majority of the MTs were middle aged, female and married, earned MA/MS units, and have served as Master Teacher I for 1-4 years. A very small percentage of the MTs have attended research-related trainings or conferences and undertaken, published or presented researches. They have average skills in searching, using and evaluating information including their awareness on the various sources of information and where to obtain them. They have fair skills in designing experimental study as well as selecting and developing research instruments, choosing appropriate statistical tools and preparing manuscript for publication. They strongly value training in educational research but moderately apply research findings to real life context. They have high regards relative to the value of doing research to become better educator. Time, efforts and resources in learning about research findings were essential elements to create positive attitudes towards research. A research capability training program is hereby proposed as the output of the study. The program consists of various levels from lectures, hands-on workshop, and writing research articles for colloquium and for possible publication.
