Literature (Textual)
Justice and Hardy (2001) examined the
relationship of undergraduate GPA, gender,
ethnicity, and reading scores to the performance
of 39 minority teacher education students who
took the professional development section of the
Examination for the Certification of Educators in
Texas (ExCET). Using a multiple regression
procedure, undergraduate GPA and reading
scores were examined as predictors of ExCET
test scores. It was further revealed that the
undergraduate GPA was a significant but weak
predictor of performance on the ExCET.

Literature (Textual)
Papastergiou (2008) assessed the learning
effectiveness and motivational appeal of a
computer game for learning computer memory
concepts as compared to a similar application,
encompassing identical learning objectives and
content but lacking the gaming aspect to a
sample of 88 students using the quasi-
experimental research design. Data analyses
showed that the gaming approach was both
more effective in promoting students’ knowledge
of computer memory concepts and more
motivational than the non-gaming approach.

Statement of the Problem:
1. How may the teaching workload of the
participants be described in terms of:
2.1. Hours of Works
2.2. Teaching Preparations
72
The researchers hypothesized that:
H1 Participants’ workload is significantly
correlated to their research
productivity.
H2 Participants’ research skills is
significantly correlated to their
research productivity.
Alternative Hypotheses
73
This study is significant to both school
administrators and faculty members as they
will gain knowledge and understanding about
the teachers’ strengths and weaknesses
along the skills that determine their
capability in doing research. Findings may
have implications on enhancing the faculty
development program that is focused on
strengthening research capability and
research productivity and in promoting
research environment that dwells on research
policies and guidelines, working conditions,
research facilities, and research benefits and
incentives.
