RESEARCH MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES

IN THE SCHOOLS DIVISION OF MASBATE
I. Rationale
The Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001 (RA 9155) mandates that the
Department of Education enact policies and mechanisms through which the
delivery of quality basic education may be continuously improved. Chapter 1,
Section 7 (5) includes among the responsibilities of DepEd across all
governance levels the undertaking of “educational research and studies” that
will serve as one of the bases for necessary reforms and policy development.
SDO Masbate recognizes the significant strides that the Department has
already undertaken in instituting research and its utilization in policy and
program development. DepEd Order 13 s. 2015 established a systematic
policy development process in the Department, promoting evidence-based
policy formulation supported by research studies. To provide financial support
to the conduct of research in the field DO No. 43 s. 2015 and DO No. 4 s.2016
set guidelines on the use of the Basic Education Research Fund (BERF). To
put focus on the different research initiatives, DO No. 39 s. 2016 promulgated
the Basic Education Research Agenda, which makes known the research
priorities of the Department across four themes (Teaching and Learning, Child
Protection, Human Resource Development, and Governance) and three cross-
cutting themes (Gender and Development, Disaster Risk).
Furthermore, the Central Office released DepEd Order No. 16 s. 2017 or the
Research Management Guidelines to provide guidance in managing research
initiatives across governance levels.
With the abovementioned gains and reforms, the division is cognizant of its
role in continuously improving the culture of research, aligning the research
efforts to the central and regional Basic Education Research Agenda, and
reinforcing the link of research to education processes through research
dissemination, utilization, and advocacy.
II. Scope of the Policy
These Research Management Guidelines of the Schools Division of Masbate

Province shall provide guidance in the management and conduct of research
initiatives at the school, district, and division levels to further promote and
strengthen the culture of research in basic education. The procedures,

conferences, research forums and policy forums to gather education
researchers to share their research findings, gather new inputs and
research ideas, and discuss policy options based on research results.
Further, research managers may also publish research journals and
bulletins for wider dissemination, and as a potential archival
mechanism for completed research.
In addition, the division and district may utilize completed

researches to improve learning outcomes and governance processes in
their respective areas. Evidence should be heavily used in the
development of policies, frameworks, programs, and projects;
strategic, operational, and mid-term plans; training programs; and
instructional materials, to mention a few governance strategies.
With full support of school heads, teachers will disseminate and

utilize their research findings through existing mechanisms such as
but not limited to Learning Action Cells (LACs), In-Service Trainings
(INSET), School Governing Council (SGC) Forums, Enhanced School
Improvement Plan (SIP)/Annual Implementation Plan (AIP) Crafting
