Abstract

The research capability of Filipino teacher educators has been found to be lacking, which limits their ability to contribute effectively to academic research. This study aims to assess their foundational knowledge in research, as understanding their capability is essential for improvement. A quantitative approach was employed, evaluating 100 teacher educators from a state university in Northern Philippines using the research capability test (RCT), a validated criterion-referenced tool. Results showed that teacher educators generally possess average research capability, with significant differences based on educational attainment, field of specialization, and research teaching experience. Those with doctoral degrees, specializations in natural sciences and mathematics, and experience teaching research demonstrate higher capability. These findings suggest that, while basic research knowledge exists, there is a critical need for focused professional development programs to address specific gaps. Strengthening research capability not only improves the teacher educators’ performance but also enhances the overall quality of research outputs in the Philippine education system, ensuring long-term academic growth and global competitiveness.

Abstract

Research productivity in higher education institutions (HEIs) is essential for university rankings and quality assurance. However, studies show that Filipino researchers, particularly in HEIs, have low research output. This quantitative study focuses on the research productivity of 100 teacher educators at a Philippine state university, analyzing it in relation to their professional characteristics. The results reveal generally low research productivity, especially in externally funded projects, research utilization, citations, awards, and intellectual property registrations. Significant differences in research productivity were found based on years of service, educational attainment, faculty rank, research teaching experience, and seminar participation. Teacher educators with more years of service, advanced academic degrees, higher academic ranks, research teaching experience, and greater seminar attendance tend to have higher research productivity. To improve research output, institutions should prioritize faculty professional development.
