Action Research Grants for Solo HEI Faculty
Action Research Grants for Solo HEI Faculty (Solo Grants) shall be awarded to individual HEI faculty who are given teaching loads in Senior High School (Grade 11 or 12), whether part-time or full-time, during the K to 12 Transition Period, from SY 2016-2017 to SY 2020-2021. Support of up to Php 50,000 shall be provided for grantees in implementing teaching and learning practices that are evidence-based and well-documented in the form of action research.
The aim of the program is to encourage HEI faculty to document educational practices, challenges, and interventions emerging in the implementation of K to 12, specifically in Senior High School, and to disseminate the results to K to 12 implementers and educators to better the implementation of K to 12 in the Philippines, on a research conference to be conducted by the K to 12 Transition PMU in 2018.
