Research Dissemination and Productivity of Faculty Members in a Higher Education Institution

Research is one of the major functions of the higher education system in the Philippines together with instruction and community extension services. It is the defining character that differentiates a higher education institution from a basic education system. The study aimed to determine the extent of research dissemination of research findings and research productivity among faculty members of Isabela State University. The study used the descriptive-correlational type of research. The frequency, percentage, weighted mean, Pearson-r and chi-square were the statistical tools used in analyzing the data. The respondents were the permanent faculty members of Isabela State University coming from its nine campuses. Analysis showed that faculty research dissemination yielded significant relationships with rank/position; the number of research-related training, the number of membership to research organizations, civil status and type of research conducted. On the other hand, research productivity is significantly related to age, educational attainment, rank/position, the number of research-related training, the number of membership to research organizations, sex, and type of research conducted.
