BACKGROUND

Research is one of the major thrust of the university, it sets apart the
higher education from the basic education (NHERA, 2009). These higher
education institutions are expected to generate new knowledge through
conduct of research. Thus, the Ifugao State University, being the lone
higher education in Ifugao, embraces Research as one of its main thrust. As
such, the university is committed to deliver research programs in order to
foster development for better quality of life among its constituents (RDET
Manual, 2016).

The College of Advanced Education of IFSU, catering the masters and

doctorate degree programs of the university is also committed to conduct
research. It is mandated to provide global advanced education to
professionals. One of its masters degree is the Master of Arts in Education
(MAED) major in Educational Management. This program, aside from
developing professionals that exhibits managerial responsibility, it is also
geared towards development of professional that applies research
capabilities for replicating, verifying and contextualizing theoretical and
practical knowledge on different aspects of the educational process.

Clearly, the MAED program major in educational management is

committed to help in the attainment of its mandate and at the same time
promote the development of its students through conduct of research. As
such, a research and development agenda is then prepared to serve as
guide for students and professors in said specialization.
