Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the predictors of research culture in city schools division in Laguna and its influence to teacher performance. A total of 898 elementary teachers of public schools in the City Schools Divisions of Binan, Cabuyao, Calamba and Sta. Rosa participated in the study. The major tool in gathering the data was an adopted questionnaire checklist composed of five parts a. Teacher-Related Factors : b. School-Related Factors c. Contextual Variable d. Research Culture e. Teachers' Performance in Research. The study utilized the descriptive method of research. The method was used since the purpose of the study was to find out the predictors of research culture such as the teacher-related factors, school-related factors and contextual variable and their influence to students and teachers performance. It also employed quantitative approach that used frequency and percentage distribution, simple mean and Pearson correlation coefficient. Based on the results, Teacher-related factors, school factors and constraints variable are found to be predictors of research culture described by research behavior, research climate and research policy wherein teacher related factors have the greatest overall effect in both research behavior and research climate while school factors have the highest percentage of effect to research policy. Along teacher factors, skills greatly affected both research behavior and research climate. Therefore, it is concluded that teacher-related factors are the most influential and have the highest percentage of effect in research culture while school related factors only affect research policy which is a part of research culture and research culture has not significantly influenced teachers' research performance. Hence, it is recommended that rewards and recognition in any form may be given to teacher-researchers who would represent the school in research forums and become research speakers during enhancement training or capability building and the proposed action plan may be adopted for research implementation.
