Descriptive Method

Faculty members of State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) perform research function in addition to instruction, extension and production. This study was conducted to look into the profile of the published research from year of entry up to year 2008 of the regular faculty members of the First Semester of SY 2008-2009 at the College of Business Administration and Accountancy (CBAA) of the University of Northern Philippines (UNP) as affected by some personal and professional factors. It utilized the correlational design of descriptive method of research. Findings showed that the CBAA faculty is characterized by dominance of members of the female sex, of married status, of middle to senior age, with master’s degree, with academic rank of associate professor, and with official designations. Almost half of them have received monthly salary ranging from P10, 001 – P20, 000. Very few are members of scientific/research organizations. The CBAA faculty have published research since 2000. From 2000 to 2008, a total of 43 researches have been published. These were done by nearly half (19) of the 39 regular CBAA faculty members. More researches were done with co-authors than researches by single authors. Most of these researches are of college and curricular program levels, and over four-fifths were financed personally by the faculty researchers. All the researches were published in research journals and some of them were also disseminated in lecture fora and research dissemination and utilization seminars. One research was disseminated through poster exhibit. Majority of the regular CBAA faculty members have never participated in any research activity since their year of entry to the University up to year 2008. Educational attainment and membership in scientific/research organizations came out as good indicators of faculty research productivity.Keywords: Research, higher education, research productivity, correlational descriptive method,Philippines

If we make a set of measurements, such as narrow-band or multicolour photo-electric measurements, which are designed to improve a scheme of classification, and in particular if they are designed to extend the number of dimensions of classification, i.e. the number of classification parameters, then some important problems of analytical procedure arise. First, it is important not to reproduce the errors of the classification scheme which we are trying to improve. Second, when trying to extend the number of dimensions of classification we have little or nothing with which to test the validity of the new parameters.Problems similar to these have occurred in other areas of scientific research (notably psychology and education) and the branch of Statistics called Multivariate Analysis has been developed to deal with them. The techniques of this subject are largely unknown to astronomers, but, if carefully applied, they should at the very least ensure that the astronomer gets the maximum amount of information out of his data and does not waste his time looking for information which is not there. More optimistically, these techniques are potentially capable of indicating the number of classification parameters necessary and giving specific formulas for computing them, as well as pinpointing those particular measurements which are most crucial for determining the classification parameters.

Abstract. Although the development of research competency is an important goal of higher education in social sciences, instruments to measure this outcome often depend on the students’ self-ratings. To provide empirical evidence for the utility of a newly developed instrument for the objective measurement of social-scientific research competency, two validation studies across two independent samples were conducted. Study 1 ( n = 675) provided evidence for unidimensionality, expected differences in test scores between differently advanced groups of students as well as incremental validities over and above self-perceived research self-efficacy. In Study 2 ( n = 82) it was demonstrated that the competency measured indeed is social-scientific and relations to facets of fluid and crystallized intelligence were analyzed. Overall, the results indicate that the test scores reflected a trainable, social-scientific, knowledge-related construct relevant to research performance. These are promising results for the application of the instrument in the evaluation of research education courses in higher education.
