“…The overall perception reveals on research capability as to active research skills is highly capable (X =4.72; =0.44), which reveals that teachers can do good action research using active research skills. Albalawi & Johnson (2022) cited that in order to improve the effectiveness of their teaching techniques, educators must constantly make decisions about the teaching and learning context in which they operate. Teachers can benefit from research participation in several ways, including 1) research can help teachers focus their research on local needs and reality; 2) research can help teachers become aware of new research trends; 3) for teachers involved in research, the role of education research becomes active rather than passive.…”

The study aimed to assess the practice of work management skills and the research capability of elementary school teachers in building desirable work performance at the San Francisco District, Division of San Pablo City. A total of 165 teacher respondents were utilized in the study. The researcher used the descriptive survey questionnaires to gather information about prevailing conditions or situations for description, interpretation, and determining the extent of work management skills and research capability in building desirable work performance. The standard deviation and the mean were used to assess the level of manifestation among variables. In addition, Pearson r correlation analysis was employed to identify significant and positive relationships between work management skills, research capability, and teachers' work performance. Findings revealed that public elementary school teachers highly practiced work management skills. Similarly, respondents in the San Francisco District are highly capable of innovative, active, and creative research skills.Furthermore, the study shows a very satisfactory level of teacher performance. The study also revealed that teacher respondents perceived themselves as high performers. Finally, there was a strong to very strong association between work management skills and work performance. This study also proved a weak-to-moderate relationship between research capability and work performance. The findings implied that work management skills and research capability are now essential since they directly impact the developing and maintaining desirable work performance.

“…Meanwhile, this study utilized a thematic type of related literature review, which means organizing the literature by theme or category, for example, by independent variables, are used by the researchers (Rommelspacher, 2020). Albalawi and Johnson (2022), conducted a study on the degree of public-school teachers' skills in conducting action research. The results of the study showed that previously conducted action researches played an important role in supporting qualitative educational research among Saudi Arabian teachers, contributing to the improvement of the teaching environment and helping teachers to solve students' problems via action research.…”

Conducting action research requires some skills and abilities and extra time to plan and complete it. As a result, few teachers engage in action research. To dive into this issue, this paper attempted to conduct a research investigation with a focus on the competence and challenges encountered by the teacher-researchers in conducting action research in Infanta District in Philippines during the school year 2022-2023. The aim of this research was also to propose a research capacity building. The researcher used purposive sampling, employing descriptive-quantitative method. 39 teacher-researchers were involved in the study. Data collecting instrument used was a researcher-made survey questionnaire. The results revealed that the teacher-researchers assessed their competence as “slightly competent” as reflected by the overall mean of 2.14. Meanwhile, one item was evaluated where the teacher-researchers was “not competent” which this is about making an introduction using CARS Model. On the other hand, the challenges encountered by the teacher-researchers were interpreted as “slightly serious” with an overall weighted mean of 2.53. While, four problems were identified as “serious” such as they do not know the difference between an action research and basic research, they need individuals who can guide them in making their research paper, someone who can give them technical assistance and they do not have a background in the process of making action research. Moreover, two “very serious” challenges were found such as they do not have training in Action Research and due to this lack of training, it made them reluctant in doing one. In the meantime, the computed coefficient or r value was .56 which signified a considerable moderate correlation. Therefore, the teacher-researchers’ competence registered a relationship with the challenges they encountered. To address the serious and very serious problems encountered, the teacher-researchers may find the research capacity building proposed in this paper. The capacity building is purposely designed to resolve and overcome the challenges encountered by the teacher-researchers in implementing action research.

“…However, conducting CAR requires specific competencies and skills that may not be familiar to all EFL teachers (Albalawi & Johnson, 2022). CAR involves systematic inquiry and reflection on EFL teachers' teaching practices, which can help them identify their strengths and areas for pedagogical and professional improvement (Burns & Rochsantiningsih, 2006;Yuan & Burns, 2017).…”

This study centres on investigating the challenges faced by Indonesian EFL teachers when conducting classroom action research (CAR). In this pursuit, the paper employs content analysis techniques to delve into teachers’ competency in conducting CAR. This exploration is facilitated through an in-depth examination of the teachers’ CAR reports and conversations in the discussion forum on the learning management system (LMS) of Pendidikan Profesi Guru (PPG) or the Teacher Professional Education (TPE). The thematic content analysis was conducted manually and using NVivo 12 software to ease the data coding process. The results of the study showed that teachers’ knowledge of CAR varies, with most teachers perceiving an improvement in students’ scores as the primary indicator of CAR success. It also found that some teachers grappled with the technical aspects of conducting CAR, such as formulating appropriate research questions, reviewing the literature, selecting appropriate research instruments, analysing data, and reporting writing, while others encountered practical obstacles, including constraints related to time and resources. This study underscores the importance of providing ongoing support for EFL teachers to develop their CAR competencies and ultimately improve their teaching practices. The paper concludes with implications for future research and practice.
