Abstract :
Research is an integral part of the Higher
Education (HEI) and its impact is undeniably affected
by how researchers are capable of undertaking the
rigorous process. Relative to this, the study assessed the
research capabilities of tertiary education faculty in a
rural community in Bicol Region, Philippines through
descriptive survey method deployed to 22 faculty
members of the Camarines Norte State College –
College of Trades and Technology through as survey
questionnaire during the 2nd Semester, A.Y. 2022-2023.
The results of the data reflects that although the
research capabilities of the faculty members are at a
mean of 3.0 equivalent to moderately capable, the
demographic profile of the faculty members, the bulk of
load due to multiple designations as well as the weak
impact of expectation of the faculty as a researcher
result in the low level of research outputs and
undertakings of the College for the past three years. It
was also noted that using t-Test at a confidence level of
0.05 shows that the capabilities of BSIT and BTVTED
faculty are significantly different. Thus, their
improvements are not affected by the other. As a
recommendation, it was suggested for the college to
investigate the underlying issues at hand to improve the
qualifications of the faculty as well as continuously
provide research activities that will hone, develop,
encourage and expose the faculty members in research
activities for improvement of the research services of
the college as well as their own personal career growth
and development.
