Abstract/Summary

The study develops a proposed training program for educational research managers. The descriptive-developmental method of research was employed in this study. The study was divided into the Needs Assessment and Program Development stages. For the Needs Assessment stage, the study identified the state-of-the-art in educational research management and in the process identified the training needs of educational research managers. After such an assessment, a training program, which included the training objectives, training coverage, training methodologies and training contingencies, was eventually developed. Interviews were taken from managers of educational research units and planning and development offices, and some institutional directors. The researcher prepared two data-gathering instruments for the study the Interview Guide and the Unstructured Interview Guide B. Interviews were conducted in 13 respondent-schools. These included 4 at the university level, 4 at the collegiate level and the other 5 at the basic education level. Major findings of the study indicated that there were no commonly accepted and implemented procedures in the management of educational research units. Those which existed had just been products of long experiences in the handling of the units. Institutional heads were interested in putting up their own research units but there were no training programs available for this clientele. Based on the state-of-the-art in educational research management practice and the findings of the needs assessment conducted among the institutional heads of research units included in the study, a proposed training program for educational research managers was developed.

From these findings, the following conclusions were reached: 1. There is a need for a training program for educational research managers. 2. The Educational Management Department of De La Salle University can be assured of prospective trainees for the program. 3. There are Filipino experts in the various aspects of educational research management and they can possibly be tapped to be resource persons in this training program.
