Research Management of School Administrators in Samar Division
Keywords:
Research, Management, School AdministratorsAbstract
This study was designed to assess the research management of school administrators in senior high school in the Division of Samar during the School Year 2019-2020. The main objective of this study was to assess the level of research management competencies of senior high school administrators. The correlation between the level of research management competencies and their profile variates was also investigated. It was a descriptive research design to address the question on the experiences of the senior high school administrators in research management in the school. In the level of research management competency of senior high school administrator-respondents along with organization and delivery of research services, results showed that the grand mean of the respondents in all indicators was 2.47. This meant that the senior high school administrator-respondents were less competent along research planning, strategy and policy development. The senior high school administrators possessed educational qualifications necessary for their present positions based on the qualification educational standards set by the DepEd. However, most of them were neophytes considering that they had been in administrative positions for at most 10 years. The profile of school administrators in terms of research awards received significantly related to their level of research management competencies along the areas of research funding; research integrity and ethics; and managing funded research. In the selection and promotion of school heads in all levels, elementary, junior and senior high school, there must be a strict criterion on the research management competencies of the applicant-school heads.
