Missing Potentials and Delimitation Research Materials for the Whole Filipino Researches:
“Effects of Family Literacy Programs on the Emergent Literacy Skills of Children From
Low-SES Families: A Meta-Analysis, Home-Based Activities in Support of New Zealand
Children’s Literacy and Numeracy Skills and Students with intellectual and developmental
disabilities in inclusive higher education: perceptions of stakeholders in a first-year
experience?” Commentary
Puro research, baliw na baliw kayo sa research. Ako matalino ako tao pero hindi ko
maintindihan ang research niyo –Cynthia Villar on Corn Research (CNN Philippines, 2019). The
fundamentals of research are not only by intellectual criticism and discovery alone. Realistically
speaking, human essentials such as food, water, money, energy and appropriate research materials
are the central point for a research to be materialized. Specifically, with proper maximization of
availability of resources, realistic applicable situation with cooperation and reflective inspirational
action towards intellectual inquiry are the most essential when it comes to validating and creating
ideas. In the Philippines, there are a lot of intellectuals by which has the huge potential to conduct
intellectual ideas that can hugely contribute to the whole world in the sector of education.
Unfortunately, a sample from the statement above by Cynthia Villar is a great example of research
hurdle in the materialization of Filipino researches in maximizing their craft towards contributing
in the world of knowledge. How does this relate to the 3 researches stated in the title? Computer
programs.
Computer programs are the evolving modernization of mitigating errors to give concrete
data and results of the researcher’s ideas. All 3 papers maximizing the programs per se saves time
to give better results on the said research. For instance, On the Effects of Family Literacy Programs
on the Emergent Literacy Skills of Children From Low-SES Families: A Meta-Analysis, the pre-
test post-test experimental approach gave concrete results since the researches used a statistical
computer program to immediately show results on the research. The bright side of things is this
makes the data easier interpretation and results to give critical ideas and results of the said research.
However, in the Philippines based on the critic’s experience, only in selected universities and
colleges has this access on the said materials. Majority of papers and journals of professors and
students commonly use easier statistical approach for convenient and basic efficient data results
of their said research problems. As a result, comparing papers from the Philippines, most meta-
analysis papers or in depth quantitative papers are restricted to basic results which sometimes
shows possibility of those kinds of researches being conducted already by other countries but better
In conclusion, the 3 papers represent concreteness to the data since the methodology was
hugely augmented and clearly by means of computer programs. It lessens double check method
since experimental action proper is the only requirement needed to give the data needed to be
statistically solved. Yet, the Philippines lack this said materials which results to limited quality of
data. This is where the best option for best research results is collaborative partnerships or generous
sponsors if Filipino Researches will be maximized to its full potential towards improving Filipino
