Abstract:This study aims to survey the perception and capability of lecturers in a polytechnic in Sarawak to undertake action research. It is conducted among 39 lecturers from the General Studies Department. The findings of this study show that the lecturers perceived that doing action research involved a lot of time, it can be done at minimum expense and action research can build trustworthiness or reliability. Besides, doing action research requires an effort and guidance is needed in doing action research, especially for novice lecturer-researchers. In terms of capability, most lecturers can distinguish the different parts of action research and able to cite authors appropriately. However, some lecturers are not familiar with the MLS and APA formats. It was also found that most lecturers conducted action research for their professional growth. The study recommended several implications for institutional administrators to enhance polytechnic lecturers' abilities in conducting action research.

“…Kho et al (2017) made known that lecturers can distinguish different parts of action research and were able to cite the authors appropriately. Pati (2014) disclosed that teachers had a high perception in researching terms of image, but in terms of time, cost, technicality, and efforts, their attitudes-based perception got low. Basilio et al (2019) also revealed that master teachers have high regard for the value of researching to become better educators.…”

“…Comparing the three models, research capability as a function of motivation to write research, age, and the number of studies completed is more robust. Pati (2014) revealed that Indonesian foreign teachers' perceptions of research were influenced by their capability to conduct action and classroom research. This means that an increase, improvement, or changes in their perception toward research, 7.455 of which can be accounted for their capability to conduct action research.…”

“…In explanatory studies, the perception of Indonesian foreign teachers was influenced by their capability to conduct action and classroom research in which 7.45% variance of the former can be explained by the latter (Pati, 2014); the training attended related to research, attitudes toward research, and knowledge about research can predict the research capability of Mater Teachers in which 66% variance of their research capability can be explained by these combined independent variables (Wong, 2019). To date, this is the only available study that estimated variances of these variables on research capability.…”

Recently, research capability has received an overwhelming and remarkable interest among academics and practitioners. This is timely since the Department of Education had institutionalized research and encouraged teachers to engage in it to support evidence-based practice, decision-making, policy, and program development. On these premises, a study was carried out to assess the research capability of public teachers in Malaybalay City, determine its correlates and determinants. It utilized descriptive, correlational, and explanatory designs. It administered survey questionnaires to 92 participants. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that teachers were slightly capable of conducting research and having neutral attitudes toward it, motivated to write research, had a high level of difficulties in research processes, and moderately capable of action planning. They also show evidence of potential in mentoring. Further, mentoring and action planning skills, motivation to write research, attitudes toward research, and the number of studies completed by teachers were the correlates of their research capability at different magnitudes of the relationship. Notably, the research capability of teachers had a low, negative but significant relationship with their age and accumulated years of service. Thus, this capability deteriorates as they age and accumulate years of service. The motivation to write research, the number of studies completed, and age were the determinants of research capability. It was concluded that research capability can be determined and predicted by how motivated teachers are to write research, how productive they are in research, and how young they are when they engage in this rigorous endeavor. The study identified and recommended topics for continuing professional development.

“…In fact, classroom action research is not as difficult as what is imagined. Classroom action research can be from the daily teaching of teachers in the classroom (Pati, 2014). The teacher only needs to reflect a little on the learning process.…”

The sample in this study amounted to 129 teachers, which were obtained with a multi-stage sampling technique. Findings: The results show that the teacher's research competence and interest in researching were categorized as fair or still lacking. Further analysis showed that the teacher's interest influenced teacher research competence by 52.2%. Furthermore, the interview results show that some teachers have problems in doing research, such as lack of literature access, and lack of understanding of how to do research. Conclusion: Thus, it can be concluded that the research competence of teachers and the interest of teachers in researching is still relatively low.
