Development of L&D Program: A Sequential Explanatory Study on the Knowledge and Skill Levels and Difficulties of Teachers in Writing Development Project Proposals

Writing a development project proposal is mostly viewed by teachers as a very hard task as it entails enough knowledge, skills and diligence to follow writing standards. With this, this study then was formulated to determine the demographic profile of the participants and their knowledge and skill levels and difficulties encountered by them in writing project proposals. Further, it aims to determine the significant relationship between and among the participants’ knowledge and skill levels and difficulties in writing project proposals. This study used the sequential-explanatory approach as a research design which is a sequential approach that is utilized when the researcher wants to compare quantitative and qualitative data. The study revealed that the teacher-respondents’ demographic profiles greatly influence their knowledge and skill in writing project proposals, and are contributory factors in the difficulties they encounter when they write. This study then led to recommend for development of learning and development program.
