Toward the rationalization of research on higher education a survey of higher education research in the Philippines (1975-1996) Allan B.I. Bernardo with Jenny E. Sarmiento. Diliman, Quezon City UP Education Research Program Center for Integrative and Development Studies 1997. pp. 3-89 tables. "A survey of higher education researches form 1975 to 1996 was conducted to study the nature, scope, and purpose of researches on the different aspects of higher education, and to characterize the higher education research environment in the Philippines. The survey was conducted to contextualize recent calls for more research that will generate knowledge which will lead to the improvement of the quality of Philippine higher education. The survey revealed several conspicuous trends: (1) higher education research is mostly conducted by graduate students as part of a degree requirement; (2) many researches address three broad topics which could be considered highly "researchable" but not always significant; (3) most other topic areas receive only a moderate amount of research attention; (4) some very important problem areas are virtually ignored by higher education researches; (5) most researches generate descriptive data on matters of limited scope; (6) very few researches attempt to develop, validate, or spply theory relating to higher education concerns; (7) most researches address very narrow concerns, use very confined designs and restricted samples; and (8) recently, large research institutions and organizations have been conducting large-scale, integrative research studies on many important issues facing higher education. The possible reasons for and implications of these finding are discussed in light of development directions for higher education as defined by the CHED. The report concludes with a call and prescription for a national research agenda on higher education research that reflects and addresses the constraints found int eh research environment." Research.
