ON JULY 13, 2016, DepEd Planning Service Director Roger Masapol went to NEAP XI, Davao City to personally oversee the conduct of the Research Caravan as an offshoot to the newly launched Basic Education Research Agenda (Bera).
The caravan was attended by DepEd leaders and personnel from the regional down to school level, agency partners and public and private tertiary institutions in Davao Region.
Prior to the holding of the said activity in the Region where Regional Director Alberto Escobarte and Assistant Regional Director Teresita G. Tambagan actively supported, the nationwide launch was held on July 11 at the Benitez Theatre, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City.
Both activities aimed to provide guidance to DepEd and its stakeholders in the conduct of education research and in the utilization of research results to inform the Department’s planning, policy, and program development.
The DepEd Bera revolves around four (4) main themes, namely: teaching and learning, child protection, human resource development, and governance.
In the national level, the attendees in the event were DepEd Assistant Secretary for Governance and Operations Jesus Mateo, Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) Executive Director Ramon Bacani, Philippine Institute of Development Studies President Dr. Gilbert Llanto, UP College of Education Dean Dr. Marie Therese Bustos, Basic Education Sector Transformation (BEST) Team Leader Greg Ryan-Gadsden, and Director Masapol.
In his speech, Escobarte stressed on the need to come out with well thought of and experience based classroom research to answer the various indicators that mattered most in the lives of the Filipino learners particularly the dropout and survival rates. Policy, Planning and Research Division Chief Marilyn Madrazo, meanwhile, presented the region’s research initiatives and future plans.
It was emphasized in both activities that the Research Agenda shall build on gains from existing research, generate new knowledge on priority research areas, focus DepEd’s attention on relevant education issues, and maximize available resources for research within and outside the Department.
In his message during the national launch, Assistant Secretary Mateo mentioned the accomplishments of former DepEd Secretary Armin Luistro FSC, especially the K to 12 program, and enjoined everyone to contribute to educational reforms by participating in the Department’s research agenda.
Action research advocates Honeylyn Boyles and Gervacio Salinas shared their testimonies on how research helps address various education related issues in their respective schools and Division Offices.
Stated through DepEd Order No. 39 s. 2016, the adoption of the Basic Education Research Agenda hopes to inspire and guide its external stakeholders to undertake empirical studies to better understand and advance basic education in the country.
In line with this activity, DepEd’s Policy Research and Development Division spearheaded a nationwide Research Caravan like the one conducted in Davao Region to help disseminate the goals and objectives of the agenda to its field offices and regional stakeholders.
This corner hopes that various indicators that are significant in improving the welfare of the teachers, non-teaching staff and the learners will be addressed through these scientific researches aimed at giving the ‘right cure for a particular illness’ in the DepED organizations and systems.
