ABSTRACT

The study aimed to determine the significant relationship between elementary teachers’ profile and action research competence. Utilizing the descriptivecorrelational research design for an in-depth analysis of the study, the researcher utilized the researcher-made survey on the profile of elementary teachers in terms of age, highest educational attainment, research training attended. Research grants received, and Action Research Survey developed and used by Cortes (2019) in his study on Needs Assessment on Action Research Competencies of Teacher-Researchers in Surigao del Sur, Philippines. Simple Percentage, Weighted Mean, and Pearson r were the statistical tools used. The researcher found out that most of the teachers have an age range from 31-40 with master’s units, could not attend any research training, and no research grants were received. It was also found out that their action research competence based on problem identification, appropriate use of data tools, data gathering, interpretation and reflection, technology application, and knowledge on research ethics are moderate. Moreover, the data revealed no significant relationship between the age, educational attainment, research grants received, and action research competence of elementary teachers. However, it was revealed in this study that there is a significant relationship between the research training attended and the action research competence of elementary teachers. Thus, this study recommends conducting research training to be attended by elementary teachers to improve their competence level and formulate research studies.
