UCRD Spearheaded Research Proposal Preparation Training
The University Center for Research and Development conducted a two day hands-on training to equip participants with basic knowledge and skills in the development and writing research proposals last August 30-31, 2012 at the Accreditation Room. “Without a culture of research, the institution may lose its university status,” Ma. Liza S. Nicolas, NWU President, emphasized on her welcome address.

Dr. Estrella R. Calixto, College of Teacher Education Dean, introduced the technical side of research preparation covering the basics from choosing the topic and formulating the problems to looking for references on “Research Proposal Development.”Prof. Herdy La. Yumul, Mariano Marcos State University faculty member and author of The He(a)rd Mentality, presented a different approach to the quantitative dominant research culture of the university by suggesting and talking about the advan-tages of Qualitative Research. The participants from different colleges were grouped according to their expertise and made capsulized research proposals during the workshop sessions of the training. The groups came out with seven re-search proposals:

  • Effectiveness of Police Assistance Centers in Laoag City and its Relation to Crime Prevention by the College of Criminal Justice Education;
  • Assessment of the Computer Laboratories of the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology (CEAT) to the Performance of the Students in Basic Computer Subjects by the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology;

  • Testimonies among Elderly at Balay Taripato in Cabugao, Ilocos Sur by the College of Allied Health Sciences;
  • and from Natural Science Department of the CAS, Seaweed Extracts as Biostimulants of Growth and Development of Gmelina arborea.
All research proposals were presented to the organizers and participants and were critiqued by the University Research Council composed of Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Lori Marseli L. De Castro, Vice President for RCEIAD Dr. Rudy P. Bareng, UCRD Director Dr. Elsie C. Pilar and CTE Dean Dr. Estrella R. Calixto for further improvement.
