Head Teachers’ Technical Assistance, Competence and Challenges on Research: Basis for Training Development
Abstract
Head teachers play a crucial role in the school because their leadership is essential to the school's success. They are expected to possess exceptional qualities and provide professional assistance to help teachers complete their duties more successfully and efficiently particularly in research. The main objective of the study is to determine the extent of the head teachers’ technical assistance, competence and challenges on research. The study employed a descriptive-quantitative research design to 35 head teacher-respondents using a researcher’s made survey questionnaire to determine the extent of the head teachers’ technical assistance and competence in terms of research output, skills development and utilization of research findings. It further examined the challenges encountered in the extent of technical assistance on research. It was concluded that head-teacher-respondents moderately assisted on research in terms of skills development and utilization of research findings and highly assisted in the conduct of research. They were competent in the field of research. The head teachers faced challenges such as lack of background knowledge, unavailability of funds and resources, limited time, lacking school support, teachers’ level of interest in writing research, ad their current teaching loads and other tasks assigned. Head teachers who have extended technical assistance in research were the same ones who were competent in the field of research. And their profile such as length of service, number of research trainings attended, and years of research experience were not factors in their extent of technical assistance on research.
