Abstract
The purpose of this study was assessing the status of teachers’ involvement in educational research in BCTE. To this end mixed method and descriptive survey design was employed. The primary sources of the data were 62 teachers and three college officials and ETO. HEP, BCTE Senate Legislations, research reports and proposals, strategic and annual plans were used as secondary sources. Questionnaire was the main data gathering instrument while un-structured interview, FGD guide and review of documents were used to enrich the data. The data obtained through questionnaire were analyzed using simple descriptive statistics of frequency count, percentages, means, independent t-test & one way ANOVA. Qualitative data were analyzed qualitatively by consulting note book through descriptive narration for embedding purpose. The findings revealed that lack of interest, financial service; inadequate provisions of research facilities, equipments and services; inadequate incentives, lack of teachers and administrators commitment, lack of RPO organizing research activities, absence of means of disseminating research findings and in-service trainings. Hence personal, institutional and infrastructural challenges affected teachers’ involvement in research. Consequently, the status of research activity among teaching staffs of BCTE to explore new findings, improve teaching learning process and to solve society’s problem as examined from point of institutional and national policy expectation is low. Finally necessary recommendations i.e. awareness creation and development trainings; fulfilling basic facilities; organizing RPO and means of dissemination; developing financial procedures, teachers and administrators commitment; creating conducive environment, and lastly further research are forwarded.
