Abstract

The main objective of the study was to assess and identify the potentials of government secondary high school teachers and to determine whether there were challenges (factors) that affected them to practice educational research. The target populations for the study were teachers' in government secondary high schools in all sub-cities in Addis Ababa. Due to ·the large population size, a representative sample was drawn from each sub-city using stratified sampling technique. The type of study used included both qualitative and quantitative methods. In order to collect data, Questionnaire, Interview, Focused Group Discussion and Document Analysis were employed as instruments. Data was collected both from Primary and Secondary sources. The Primary data was obtained directly from the sample teachers using questionnaires and from school principals and Sub-city officers using semi-structured interview: Data were also collected from FGD and documents for triangulating. The findings of the study showed that most teachers in government secondary high schools in Addis Ababa have potentials to practice educational research, however, there were administrative factors, institutional factors and personal factors that challenged them to involve in research practice. To alleviate these problems the study concluded by recommending the Sub-city administrations and the institutions need to minimize the factors that challenged teachers to practice educational research in order to use the maximum potentials of teachers.
