Abstract

This study resolute the research capabilities and interest among center school teachers of Norbuling and Zhemgang schools of Bhutan. This study employed the descriptive-correlational method. The descriptive method described the characteristics of the respondents, the extent of research capabilities, motivations, and their interest within the field of research. Seventy-seven respondents were drawn from the population. A Stratified sampling method was accustomed to determining samples per stratum. The researchers detected research morals and etiquettes during the collecting process. Descriptive-Inferential statistics were wont to interpret the information. The study revealed that respondents were fascinated by writing research but because of lack of motivation and their capability, they lack within the research process and dissemination. The respondents are abstemiously proficient in their research competencies and research propagation. The number of research capabilities was significantly correlated with motivation and interest. Research support was inadequate; a positive research environment must be provided to encourage them in research writing. The findings of the study provide data of two different schools to grasp the factors affecting the research capabilities of public-school teachers. The college heads can come up with a workable decision to enhance research capabilities and manage their resources, policies, time, space, and personnel for optimum effect. The fast trend in instructional technology and innovative approaches and teaching pedagogies, knowledge, and skills within the research of all academic professionals is important. Conducting research becomes now mandatory within the educational institutions within Bhutan; thus, needs continuous assessment to supply a community of teacher-researchers.
