Subject: District Research Caravan v.2.0 SALIKSIKalakbay:
Cultivating Curious Minds: Exploring Barriers in Research Writing
in A District-Wide Perspective
1. This is to announce a District Research Caravan v.2.0 SALIKSIKalakbay:
Cultivating Curious Minds: Exploring Barriers in Research Writing in A District-
Wide Perspective on March 19-20, 2024 at the District Conference Hall, Plaridel
Elementary School, Plaridel District, in support to the Division Memorandum
No. 099, s 2024, entitled " Division Research Caravan, v.2.o SALIKSIKalakbay:
Strengthening DepEd Bulacan’s Synergy in Research Journey.
2. DepEd Order No. 16, s. 2017, entitled Research Management Guidelines
articulated the provisions of Technical Assistance in the research management
cycle. Plaridel District wanted to continue its effort to intensify research culture
in both elementary and secondary teachers and school heads as well as to the
non-teaching personnel. There is a need for comprehensive technical assistance
provisions to researchers covering all phase of research. There is a continuous
dropping rate and percentage of research turnouts in Plaridel District. Despite
numerous research proposals that were submitted from the past school years,
the number of approved titles remains steady and stagnant. This arising concern
among elementary and secondary schools of Plaridel enables the researcher to
conduct a phenomenological study on the barriers and perceived challenges in
writing and completing research. Meanwhile, there are given factors which
associate and inhibit with low research engagement among teachers such as
non-collaborative school culture, limitations in teachers’ awareness, beliefs,
skills and knowledge, limited resources, demotivators, and economic factors.
3. This activity aims to:
• identify the perceived barriers of elementary and secondary
teachers of Plaridel District towards research writing;
• provide intensive technical assistance to 32 researchers with
proposal submitted in the Division level; and
