18. R.M. No. 185 s. 2020

20. Correspondingly, DepEd Order No. 39, s. 2016 promulgated the adherence to the
following principles in the conduct of basic education research:
Excellence. Given the influence of research on education decisions and actions, quality
research is expected. Excellence demands that the inquiry is relevant and researchable;
methods applied are appropriate; and findings are logical, coherent, and supported by data.
Although the research design may vary depending on the nature of the study, researchers
must apply rigorous and empirical methods grounded in scientific inquiry.
Integrity. The highest ethical standards shall be applied to basic education research.
Whether or not human subjects are involved, researchers must ensure that the study will not
cause people harm. Research participants should have informed consent, must be
cognizant about the general purpose of the study and should not be exposed to unusual risk.
Consistent with the principle of excellence, integrity also requires honesty and accuracy in
the collection, analysis, and reporting of data.
Openness. DepEd acknowledges the importance of collaboration in its work, including
research. Openness emphasizes the need to engage more partners in basic education
research and to employ multi-disciplinary perspectives. The same likewise ensure truthful
and timely dissemination of research results and data sets within the bounds of
confidentiality to DepEd and other stakeholders for appreciation and application, as well as
peer evaluation.

research that seeks to solve practical
problems.
3 Types of Applied Research
Evaluation research is a type of applied research that
existing information about a research subject to arrive at
objective research outcomes or reach informed decisions.
Research and development is a type of applied research that
focused on developing new products and services based on
needs of target markets.
Action research is a process of systematic inquiry to
improve educational practices and resolve problems in
classrooms and schools. and help educators develop
practical solutions to address them quickly and efficiently.

40. Issues
• Security and Storage Who has the access to this data?
How long the data will be stored?
What security and privacy measures do you
have for the data you have collected?
• Anonymity and Confidentiality Anonymity has become an issue when
respondents use their email address to answer
a survey.
• Data Quality How accurate were the gathered data?
• Sampling Participants How the target respondents based on the set
criteria and sample size be achieved?
• Consent and Assent Consent and Assent before survey
• Undue Influence and Manipulation Undue influence and manipulation arises
“when prospective participants are recruited by
individuals in a position of authority”

41. Guidelines
Managing the Dissemination of the
Recruitment Notice
Must have plan in place how to inform target participants and
control the number of participants.
Ensuring Participants Meet the Inclusion
Criteria
Determine the number and types of recruitment safeguards or
measures for a particular project will depend on the nature of the
project.
Online Consent and Assent Consent and Assent Forms must Be Emailed Before the Start of
Survey
Data Collection, Storage, and Transfer Respecting the autonomy of research participants requires that
surveys and questionnaires be designed in such a way that
participants are able to (I) voluntarily bypass questions that they
do not wish to answer, and (II) withdraw from the study during
their participation. This includes online video interviews.
When storing or transferring participants’ data online, it is
imperative that researchers take the appropriate steps to protect
their participants’ data from being accessed by non-authorized
parties and from being intercepted online.
Privacy and Security This entails that researchers protect the privacy of data received
by online.

71. Writing the Introduction/Rationale
 Trend- Start from the highest level going down to the school and
classroom level. Include additional related literature, interventions used
from previous studies. Cite sources and briefly discuss findings.
 Issue- Narrate the general situation in your school/class/work place that
made you propose the study. Identify the most critical problem currently
affecting your school/students’ learning/workplace.
 Objective- Explain the need to conduct the study, will it solve
the problem? What do you intend to do to solve the identified
problem.
 Contribution- What possible contribution can your study bring?

72. Example: Writing the Introduction
MASTER TEACHERS’ PERCEPTION ON THEIR RESEARCH CAPABILITIES:
BASIS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TRAINING PROGRAM
Master Teachers’ Perception on Their Research Capabilities: Basis for the
Development of a Training Program
(Trend)
Research is important for an organization to survive and keep abreast in
trends and changes in educational landscape. According to Murali (2015), research
would enable the management in decision making through careful analysis of the
research output for the benefit of the organization. In the school level, research-
based practices are exceedingly promoted due to its positive influence on the
performance of students as revealed in the study of Gorgon et.al (2013).

73. (Trend )
According to Mc Niff (1997), action research is a powerful
method of bridging the gap between the theory and practice of
education; for teachers are encouraged to develop their own personal
theories of education from their own close practices. Furthermore,
Johnson (1993) concluded that empowering teachers to examine their
own practices through classroom based inquiry will provide significant
step towards reforms in teaching.
The Basic Education Governance Act of 2001 in the
Department of Education underscored the role of research in the
management and administration of the basic education system.
Findings of research in education will lead to more effective and
enhanced teaching-learning process, human resource development,
child protection policies and efficient governance (DepEd Order No.
39, s. 2016).

74. (Issue)
In a nationwide scope, as to the study conducted by Abon, et al. (2003),
92.95 percent of teachers have undertaken research and development activities
for more than twenty years but only 22.81 percent was involved in research in
spite of the attendance to local, national and international conferences.
Salom (2013) mentioned some of the barriers to teachers’ active involvement in
research. Many faculty members of the DMMMSU Mid La Union Campus are reluctant to
do research for the reasons that they don’t have sufficient time and they lacked the
necessary skills and writing skills (Salom, M. 2013).
There are several studies trying to find out the root cause why teachers in general
don’t conduct research. Lacanaria’s study (2008) concluded that the extent of faculty
participation in research activities was lower than the expectations and mandates of
CHED. Faculty participation in the review of research was greatly constrained by factors
related to nature of research capability and attitude and the research climate and work
setting.

75. (Issue-local level)
The Division of Aurora is not an exemption to this conclusion. The
division has also been conducting trainings on action research in series of
phases through the initiative of Dr. Erleo T. Villaros in 2014 that was carried on by
the School Governance and Operations Division (SGOD) at present. But despite
all of these efforts, only two final research reports were received and approved by
the SDO in 2015, one from a secondary school teacher and one from a school
principal. Not even one master teacher among 104 master teachers of the division
has submitted an action research. Being master teachers in their respective
schools, they are expected to conduct action research aside from their regular
teaching loads (RPMS) and utilize its results to improve teaching-learning process
and provide teachers empirical result to uphold evidenced-based practices.
(Objective and Contribution)
This is the main reason why this research was proposed. Hoping to arrive
with data from where remedial measures could be done to help teachers, master
teachers specially, come up with their action researches that are responsive to the
thrust of the Department of Education on improving access, quality and
governance in schools. Results could also serve as the basis of formulating
policies in the conduct of research in the division.
