The Manila Research e-Catalogue serves as the official repository of education research in DepEd Manila and make education research more accessible to aid evidence-based actions. The e-Catalogue also seeks to encourage the conduct and use of research from school to division level through the sharing of knowledge.

As the national institution mandated to provide quality basic education to all Filipinos, DepEd seeks to ensure that learning outcomes are achieved by maximizing the competencies of teachers and potentials of all types of learners. This theme thus covers the actors, activities, and fundamental aspects of teaching and learning in various contexts. Specifically, the Research Agenda looks into the strategies, best practices, and facilitating and hindering factors relative to five sub-themes, namely: instruction, curriculum, learners, assessment, and learning outcomes.
DepEd’s learner-centered approach recognizes that a child’s condition can significantly affect the achievement of learning outcomes. While the Department may not have the direct mandate and resources to address many of the social, economic, and personal issues of learners, it is committed to ensuring their well-being, particularly in situations where harm can occur in school or disrupt their studies.
As DepEd is the nation’s largest bureaucracy, it is imperative that various strategies are developed to nurture the vast human capital involved in delivering basic education. Research questions will delve into three subthemes: (1) teaching and non-teaching qualifications and hiring; (2) career development; and (3) employee welfare.
Managing the largest bureaucracy towards educating the nation’s future requires efficient and effective operations. The Governance theme of the Research Agenda, which covers planning, finance, program management, transparency and accountability, and evaluation, underscores DepEd’s commitment to ensure that its structure, systems, and processes contribute to the achievement of basic education outcomes.
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) is an important topic in academic research that focuses on reducing the impacts of natural and human-induced disasters on society. It involves studying the causes and consequences of disasters, developing strategies and policies to mitigate risks, and managing the response and recovery efforts.
Gender development is a significant topic in academic research that examines the ways in which individuals acquire and express their gender identities, roles, and expectations. It encompasses the study of how gender is constructed, experienced, and understood in different social, cultural, and historical contexts.
Inclusive education is an important topic in academic research that focuses on creating equitable and accessible educational environments for all learners, regardless of their diverse backgrounds, abilities, or characteristics. It involves studying inclusive policies, practices, and interventions that promote educational opportunities and support the learning needs of all students.
Technology and innovation play a crucial role in academic research, driving advancements across various disciplines and enabling new avenues of inquiry. Academic researchers leverage technology and innovative approaches to enhance their research methodologies, data analysis, knowledge dissemination, and collaboration.
Partnerships in academic research play a crucial role in advancing knowledge, fostering collaboration, and addressing complex research questions. Partnerships can occur between researchers within the same institution, across different institutions, or involve collaborations between academia, industry, government agencies, and community organizations.
