Abstract

Research productivity among teachers in all levels has gained recognition for its role in improving school programs, policies, and teaching and learning processes. As such, determining the factors that may affect this is crucial in building a community of teacher-researchers and creating a research culture in school. The objective of this research is to determine the factors that affect the research productivity of both public elementary and secondary school teachers in San Isidro, Nueva Ecija. It used the descriptive-correlation method, utilizing frequency count and percentage, weighted mean, and correlation formulas to treat the data gathered. The findings indicate that there exists a positive organizational culture and support for research in public schools and that the teachers are confident in their research abilities. However, results showed that teachers have low research productivity as evidenced by their research publication and presentation outputs. Correlation analysis also revealed that research productivity is highly correlated to research competence and organizational culture/support for research.
