Abstract :
This research paper explores the role of education leaders with research doctorates (PhDs) in enhancing research culture and academic sustainable transformation within the education system. The study addresses the lack of research presentation and publication among these leaders. The research objectives involve identifying education leaders with PhDs, describing their academic profiles, assessing their scholastic research outputs, and proposing an intervention program. The study reveals that, within the Schools Division of Bulacan, 14 education leaders hold PhDs, primarily school heads (78.6%). These leaders obtained their PhDs over the span of 10-15 years, with various institutions contributing to their degrees. However, findings show a deficiency in international research presentations and publications, highlighting a need to enhance research dissemination. To address these gaps, the study proposes an intervention program, which involves creating a group of research-oriented school heads and supervisors, conducting webinars/training on paper presentation and publication, establishing annual research collaborations, and promoting paper presentation and publication activities. These measures aim to equip education leaders with the skills and knowledge necessary for effective research dissemination. In conclusion, the research emphasizes the importance of education leaders with PhDs in driving research culture and sustainable transformation. The proposed intervention program provides a framework to foster research presentation and publication, contributing to the development of a more research-oriented education system. Recommendations include prioritizing research doctorates, fostering research collaborations, and implementing the proposed intervention to enhance research practices and outputs.
