ISUFST Faculty Trained on Classroom-Based Action Research

More than 120 faculty members from the Colleges of Education across Iloilo State University of Fisheries Science and Technology (ISUFST) campuses—Tiwi, Poblacion, San Enrique, Dingle, and Dumangas—participated in a Training-the-Trainers Workshop on Classroom-Based Action Research (CBAR) on Feb. 3, 2025, at ISUFST-Dingle Campus.

The workshop was led by Asst. Prof. Early Sol A. Gadong, a faculty member of UP High School in Iloilo (UPHSI) under the Division of Professional Education at the University of the Philippines Visayas. Assisting her as facilitator was Asst. Prof. Joven S. Llabore.

Dr. Joan Belga, ISUFST vice president for academic affairs, underscored the institution’s dedication to strengthening research culture among educators.

“This CBAR Training-the-Trainers Workshop is part of ISUFST’s mission to empower the ‘movers’ of our teacher education programs,” Belga said. “By equipping faculty with the necessary skills and knowledge, we ensure that pre-service teachers are well-prepared to engage in action research. This initiative aligns with our vision of becoming a leading research university, guided by integrity, discipline, social justice, and academic excellence.” (Daniel Garcia, MEd ESL student)
