Abstract/Summary

This study presented a review of the graduate research undertaken by the Dominican Sisters of the Most Holy Rosary of the Philippines from 1975 to 1990. It utilized the review of the state-of-the-art model PAGE (1984), using the descriptive analytical method of research. Data were gathered from the 29 graduate research works and the result of the survey form checklist administered to a purposive sample of 160 professed members of the congregation. The instrument was framed by the researcher herself with the help of her mentor and some members of the panel. Findings revealed that a total of 29 graduates research works were produced from 1975-1990 within a period of 15 years, out of which 15 were theses and 14 were practicum papers. All these were on the masteral level with no dissertation. The findings pointed out that Administrative Control and Organization was the most researched management area specifically on Institutional Development Plans while the unresearched were on Physical Facilities, Qualifications, Competencies..., Parents and Community Linkage, School Personnel, History and Development of Education. The unresearched areas of the congregation's apostolate were on pastoral, catechetical, and social services. Failure on the part of the researchers to disseminate research result, findings and recommendations of the study and the inability of the top management themselves to be aware of those studies led to the minimum and non-implementation of the researchers' recommendations. This study recommends that for effective communication and utilization, research result should be disseminated and be shared with everyone in the congregation, under researched areas of the congregation's apostolate

be given priority and that future researchers be helped regarding their topics of research. Methodology.
