From Skillset to Success: Evaluating the Link between Research Skills and Preparedness

The conducted study entitled From Skillset to Success: Evaluating the Link between Research Skills and Preparedness seeks to provide insights into the research skills and preparedness levels of Grade 11 students in Noveleta Senior High School, and explore the relationship between these two variables. A quantitative research design was applied, utilizing a survey to gather data from 120 randomly selected respondents. The study aimed to supply an in-depth understanding of the correlation between research skills and preparedness in practical research. Findings of the study revealed that students exhibit a moderate level of research skills but a relatively low level of preparedness for research tasks. Using Pearson R-Correlation, the researchers found a significant positive correlation between research skills and preparedness (r = 0.60, p < 0.05). This suggests that enhancing research skills significantly contributes to increasing students’ readiness for practical research tasks. Based on the findings, an intervention program was proposed to address gaps in research preparedness.
