HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES The mind and the hand must meet to test knowledge. Hands-on activities are important strategies to reinforce learning. Shown here are students assembling a dismantled computer unit (A and B). The picture on the right (C) shows the engineering students on OJT at a marble processing plant in Romblon, Romblon. Here they were shown how the boulders are cut into slabs. One does not need to go abroad in order to excel in managing a hotel and restaurant because resourcefulness can do as much. There are RSU alumni and Romblomanons doing well in this business whose expertise can be tapped. These pictures (D, E and F) show how faculty members of RSU San Fernando Campus were able to bring a world-class chef to their campus who unselfishly shared his skills and expertise as a restaurateur and hotelier. A B E C F D 48 RSU Annual Report SY 2009-2010 RESEARCH, EXTENSION AND PRODUCTION 49 RSU Annual Report SY 2009-2010 I. RESEARCH IN RSU: IN RETROSPECT Research activities have never been attractive to the faculty members since the school was established in 1915 until it became an Agricultural College in 1969. Within almost 40 years of existence as a college, its Research Development and Extension Center (RDEC) has not fully matured. The RDE unit of the college was established in 1980 only. The unit then focused on agricultural researches particularly crop and animal sciences. In 1988 the unit was manned by an agricultural engineer who planned its organizational structure and established linkages with other State Universities and Colleges, Government and Non-Government Agencies. The directorship of the unit was then transferred in 1996 to another expert whose leadership focused on the framing of the RDE Manual of Operations aside from the experimental researches conducted. After three years, the headship of the RDE unit was given to another senior faculty member. From 2002 until October 2007, three more directors were appointed one at a time. There was a fast turn over of leadership of the unit. This might be accounted to the earnest desire of the administration to make the unit functional and operational. Unfortunately, earning the first point in Research and Development was not met. In October 2007, the administration decided to appoint one director for research and one extension director under the office of the Vice President for Research Development and Extension. This decision was in compliance with one of the recommendations made by the AACCUP Accreditation team. The outset of 2008 brought new opportunities for the college RDE unit. Agenda Setting and Program Prioritization through PHILARM, CHED-UPLB-ZRC and STARRDEC The new leadership believed in the scientific and teamwork management approach in sustaining the research climate in the college. The director The RDE office is located on the southeastern part of the University. believed that success in research could only be possible by joining the loop and networking with other SUCs, NGOs , GAs and funding agencies, thus, breaking the wall of inculturation and paving the way for the new ideas and methodology in RDE. The RDE management had to employ unique strategies and appropriate and relevant techniques. The research and development activities must jibe with the national, regional, and local research agenda. Most likely these agenda spelled out the needs and concerns of stakeholders. Guided by the above principles, the unit conducted an RCBSW. This was a rigid situational analysis which involved WOT Analysis and participation from different agencies, whose thrusts and priorities were highly considered. In the environmental analysis, the opportunities and threats were summarized. The organizational analysis dissected the assessment areas with the corresponding strengths and weaknesses. This was followed by the identification of the Key Areas of Concern using the external and internal analysis method. The process moved to the criteria setting employing the “must” and “discriminating” criteria. Then, the evaluation and priority setting was done. Finally the College was able to come up with a reliable and clear R&D program priorities. 50 RSU Annual Report SY 2009-2010 Organizations like STARRDEC, PHILARM and CHED-UPLB ZRC greatly helped the College in preparing for the demands of universityhood. Research and Development Agenda were put in place and series of research capability building activities were conducted in different campuses. This was one of the most helpful activities among the many research capability building seminars and workshops done in the past. The above activity facilitated by an expert from PHILARM, CHED-UPLB Zonal Research Center and STARRDEC confirmed the data gathered by the RDE Center through its director in an area scanning which revealed the following findings: that RSC has potential researchers and rich researchable areas; that the previous directors of the unit conducted several basic and applied researches, but only two were presented in a research symposium; many experimental researches were conducted but were not properly documented and completed; funding was insufficient; the administration and faculty members have concentrated more on instruction, production and extension thereby neglecting research. Only three out of the 218 faculty members were actively involved in research. Findings also revealed that research proposals were not subjected to panel or audience for critiquing. Very few research proposals were processed and completed. It was also found out that for the first 15 years of operation of the unit, only three R&D agenda were set: agricultural development, home technology and agricultural education. Thus, the research function was not able to cater the entire needs of the College particularly the faculty members and the community. The direction of the unit was vague and funding was very scarce. Joining the Loop: The Conduct of Research Capability Building Seminars and Workshops The conduct of research capability building seminar workshops (RCBSW) was planned and implemented to solve the problems of low profile and interests along research function. Prior to 2003-04, RCBSW conducted were limited to (1) research agenda setting, (2) identification of research problems and (3) research format. Only those who had interests in the field joined the research capability building. With this situation, not many were convinced and motivated to conduct researches. Many would see research as a tedious and unrewarding job. In 2006, one of the policies of the college was to require all faculty members with a rank of Assistant Professor up to conduct researches related to the field of their specialization hence they were obliged to undergo RCBSW to prepare them for the job. At the start, there was some animosity on the part of the faculty maybe because they had not yet fully realized the value of research. In the middle part of 2007, the RDE unit conducted an area scanning among the institutes in the main campus and the eight campuses of RSC. Findings revealed that the faculty members were passive towards research activities because they lacked the knowledge and skills in the conduct of research. This was where the PHILARM and STARRDEC came to the picture. 51 RSU Annual Report SY 2009-2010 R&D Agenda Formation and Program Prioritization The collaborative activity on RCBSW was sponsored by the two organizations on May 4-5, 2008. The first was the R&D Agenda Formation and Program Prioritization followed by the formulation of the RDE Manual and the Organizational Set Up. Policies and procedures were presented, discussed and finalized. One of the outputs in the RCBSW was the formulation of the Annual Performance Target based on the results of the R&D agenda setting. Few months later, the RCBSW was replicated in different campuses. Research Proposal Writeshop The next phases of training assistance given by PHILARM, STARRDEC and CHED-UPLB-ZRC came last August 25-26, 2008, where they facilitated a Research Proposal Writeshop con review. This was participated in by all Research Coordinators and selected researchers from the five institutes in the main campus and the other eight campuses of the RSC system. In this activity, all participants were required to write and present their research proposals for critiquing and evaluation in front of panelists, a pool of experts from different government and non-government agencies. The Vice President and Director of the RDE Unit and the facilitators were part of the panel. National Environmental Summit In the same month, the RDE Unit spearheaded the first ever national research event hosted by the college, the National Environmental Summit. The summit featured Paper Presentation, Symposia, Ugnayan at Talakyan sa Isyu ng Pagmimina, Essay Writing and On-the –Spot Poster making Contests. The activity was in collaboration with the DENR, DA, DOLE, DOST, DTI, STARRDEC, PHILARM, CHEDUPLB-ZRC, NGO’s, SUCS and LGU’s. The theme centered on: “Enhancing Sustainable Agriculture, Economic and Environmental Development Through R & D Initiatives”. The Summit made an indelible mark in the R&D aspect of the College because there were six researchers from RSC who presented their papers and three of them were adjudged as first, second and third in the Environment and Sustainable Development Category. The participants came from SUCS, NGO’s, the religious sector and private institutions from different regions. Twenty eight papers were submitted for presentation and 16 were chosen and presented. The activity boosted the morale of the local researchers. Many faculty members showed interest in RDE after that experience because local presenters were given plaque of recognition and cash incentives by the College President. This ignited the enthusiasm of many faculty members to engage in research. Majority of the faculty members witnessed the presentation which made them realize that they, too, had potentials of their own. Series of seminar-workshops for research capability building have been conducted by the RDE Unit together with proposal writeshops and in-house review. On August 25-26, 2008, the University (then College) hosted for the very first time a National Environmental Summit. Six research papers from RSC were presented in this summit and three were chosen as among the best papers. 52 RSU Annual Report SY 2009-2010 IBA Research Symposium A month after (Oct. 3-4, 2008), the Institute of Business and Accountancy initiated the first Research Symposium on the institute level. They highlighted presentations of eight papers relevant to the theme “Cultivation of Research Culture Towards a State of the Art Business Education.” This was participated in by amateur researchers from other institutes and campuses. The highlights of the papers presented were released in monographs and journals. After this experience, they gained confidence towards research works and were highly motivated to undertake or be a part of a research project. Going International for the First Time In the same month, two researchers of the College participated in international conferences on separate occasions, where they presented a paper and a poster, the first time for the College. This was a bold step towards higher achievement of the RDE unit. R&D Initiatives in Full Swing Inspired by the events and opportunities, the College administration declared full support to the Research and Development programs and thrusts, and to the faculty researchers. The RDE team conducted several RCBSWs in different campuses as requested. Various institutes and campuses initiated In-house Reviews. Last February 2-4, 2009, the RDE Center sponsored the Research Capability Building and Agency In-House Review to screen research proposals for institutional funding. Twenty of these proposals were funded by the GAA and three were submitted to DBM for possible financial assistance. Another inspiring event concerning the RDE happened last February 17-20, 2009, where two RSC researchers were accepted to present their papers in the 2nd International Conference of State Universities and Colleges Teacher Educators Association, held at the University of Rizal System in Morong, Rizal. Research activities are in full swing in the University. Shown in the pictures are the IBA Research Symposium and the first international poster and paper presentations of faculty members from the University. Recently, Romblon State College was one of the eleven research proponents from Region IV and V, that received a two hundred thousand pesogrant from CHED-UPLB-ZRC to fund its research project. Aside from this grant, four proposals were accepted by various funding agencies like PCARRD, NEDA, FIDA and DA. Moreover, as the researchers gained confidence through various exposure and capability building, they tried to embrace and promote a culture of research, thus, the research climate in the college has tremendously heightened within a short span of time. After the conduct of RCBSW and the attendance of research coordinators and researchers in offcampus research capability building, the research climate of the College was strengthened thereby fostering a research culture. This was manifested by the submission of research proposals attuned to the research agenda of the College, the region and the country. The number of active researchers quantum leaped from 3 percent to 8.72 percent. These were the faculty members who had actually conducted and presented their outputs in local, regional, national and international conferences. Several research outputs were published as monographs, sporadic papers, and journals. These researches were selffinanced; others were partly funded by NGOs , 53 RSU Annual Report SY 2009-2010 NGAs and GAA. The figures show that there are already 52 faculty members out of 218 who are actively involved in research. Said figures are much higher than the figures prior to 2004. Research proposals submitted and reviewed are prioritized by the RDE Center. Researches with significance to the regional and national agenda are endorsed to various government agencies and to linkages and networks of the College. Some even financed their own projects due to limited budget. There are now eight areas of R & D at the college. These are the following: 1. Agriculture, Forestry, Fishery and Natural Resources 2. Business, Management and Cooperatives Researches 3. Marine and Freshwater Researches 4. Education , Curriculum, Culture and Sports Researches 5. Socio-Economics, Political Science and Gender Studies 6. Industry & Energy Researches 7. Mining, Ecotourism, and Environmental Researches 8. Information Technology and other Field of Engineering Researches The rise in enthusiasm and motivations of the faculty researchers paved the way to the creation of new areas of discipline. Originally, there were only three, by 2004 - 2007 there were already eight. With the varied expertise and the advanced degrees the researchers completed, new research and researchrelated centers were established . Five centers have been established recently; the Agricultural Meteorological Station (AgroMet), Banana Tissue Culture and Diagnostic Laboratory, the Romblon Agriculture Technology Center (RATC), The Romblon Center for Kanidugan Studies (ROCKS) and the Organic Vegetable Experimental Station (OVES). Implementation of Policies Benefits , Incentives and Motivations The Research and Development Office which is tasked to oversee all research programs and projects, policies and guidelines conducted a one day orientation on the RDE Manual and Research Institutional Format. Procedures were discussed thoroughly. It was made clear that upon notification on the approval for funding, researchers are required to submit their operational plans, conduct their activities and submit their accomplishments. The researchers are required to prepare a publishable copy of the results of their outputs upon incorporating all suggestions for publication. Service credits are given to them as long as their regular teaching load is not lessened. Such is attested by the VPAA. Their works are to be published in the RSC Research Journal and endorsed to refereed journals . Any approved research that cannot be completed at the approved time frame is to be accompanied with a written explanation which will be evaluated and recommended by the Research Council for another grant in the succeeding year depending on its merit. The researchers are to be provided with funding after presenting their research output in local, regional and international venues. These will be endorsed by the R&D Office after presenting a letter of acceptance from organizing or sponsoring agencies. Researches that have been completed 54 and published are given two points in the NBC 461. Researches are packaged into matured technologies. The College provides funds for production of flyers, brochures, patenting and copyright applications and processing. Linkages and Networks During 2004 -2009, the College got a substantial number of linkages and networks. Much effort was spent and the initiative was spearheaded by the RDE office and other college offices including the Office of the President and the Office of the VPRDE. The R&D Office has eight international and 45 national and regional linkages thus contributing to the sustained increase in the indicators. The partnerships and collaborations they generated and forged paved the way to a better and sustained performance of the researchers. Highlights included the memberships of RSC to STARRDEC, a regional agriculture consortium, and the Philippine Council For Agriculture Research and Resources Development (PCARRD). PHILARM and CHED-UPLB-ZRC have been very influential in the revitalization of the RDE center of the college. The RCBSW on R&D Agenda Formation and Program Prioritization facilitated by Dr. Erlinda B. Aromin of PHILARM in collaboration with STARRDEC served as the take off point of the R&D activities of the college. This was followed by the team from DOST that conducted a one day orientation on funding assistance and grants for RSU Annual Report SY 2009-2010 qualifiers to their S & T Priority Thrust. The existence of collaborations between the College and each of the organizations facilitated the fast movement of expertise to and from the collaborators. All started from the spirit of partnership and cooperation which brought the College to join the loop and acquire global perspectives. With each organization working hand in hand with RSC , the college, which was on the height submitting its programs for accreditation and rallying for a university status, benefited a lot. The College passed several evaluation committees, particularly in the RDE aspect and recently has been favorably recommended for university conversion by the evaluators from the office of the CHED Commissioner, Hon. Emmanuel Y. Angeles. Indicators As shown by the dramatic change in values and work attitudes towards research work, the performance of the faculty members improved after the series of RCBSW had been conducted to them. The activity created an awareness and provided motivations for them to start and think of research topics in their respective fields of discipline. The capability of the researcher was measured through his finished outputs, like research papers or posters presented locally or internationally and the publications of these papers in research 55 RSU Annual Report SY 2009-2010 journals. There were RSC researchers who were able to present their outputs in Thailand and Japan. Some faculty researches presented their papers in International Conferences held here in the Philippines. Three research proposals have been presented recently at DBM and have been endorsed for funding. Another four proposals have been evaluated and approved for funding by other funding institutions. Fifteen proposals are now funded under GAA. There is a more substantial increase of proposals and GAA funded projects compared to the earlier time frame. The RDE unit already received a Php2.4 million funding assistance for R&D and Php 1.4 million for Extension from the Congressional Development Fund for 2009. Research Results Dissemination and Utilization The research generated were packaged in forms understood and utilized by the target clients, beneficiaries and end-users. From 2003 to 2009, 19 out of 23 or 52.1 percent were utilized. Flyers, brochures and CDs of the technologies were also distributed to the end-users. Other media include the assembly called by the local executives where seminars and workshops were conducted. Furthermore, demonstration of matured technologies was done in the presence of the participants. People in the countryside were the primary targets of the utilization of matured technologies. Some technologies were adopted for commercialization. The R&D Office and the Extension Services Office of the College arranged with local chief executives and officials on the dispersion of technologies and research findings. Needs assessment data were the bases for the delivery of appropriate technologies and research findings in the countryside. After which, a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the College and the stakeholders were forged. The significant findings of researches and the technologies generated, disseminated, utilized and adopted helped upgrade the living conditions of the people in the countryside of Romblon and neighboring island provinces. Several R&D outputs were utilized to wit: 1. The research output of the Socio-Economic Profiling of the five poorest municipalities in the province of Romblon conducted by the Institute of Business and Accountancy was utilized by the NGOs and LGUs in formulating a five-year Development Plan to help alleviate poverty in the province. 2. The results of the study initiated by the RDE unit on the Plight of Filipino Women in Rural Communities were utilized as bases of the advocacy and program identification of the RWLKALIPI. 3. The research outputs on the graduate tracer studies conducted by various institutes served as bases for curriculum revision and program enhancement. 56 4. The R&D outputs on Environmental Researches resulted to the production of instructional materials for environmental education. 5. The technologies generated on agricultural R&D about Off-Season Vegetable Production Organic Farming, High Valued Vegetable Production, etc. were now adopted by local farmers. The RDE center had eight programs that served about 2,500 clients through seminars, RSU Annual Report SY 2009-2010 information dissemination and trainings conducted from 2005 to date. Dissemination of present programs of the College on the utilization of matured technologies was highly commendable. A sample of matured technologies was popularized locally and nationally consisting of related technologies duly accepted by scientists, researchers, farmers and households. Much has changed today, RSU-RDE has braced itself to the challenges brought about by the academe’s conversion to a university.
