Synopsis

Research Management for Educational Leaders: A Graduate Textbook for Educational Managers provides a comprehensive and practice-oriented guide to managing research as a coordinated institutional system rather than merely as an academic method. Designed primarily for graduate students, educational administrators, research coordinators, school leaders, and faculty researchers, the book develops the competencies required to plan, govern, implement, evaluate, communicate, and apply educational research. Its fourteen chapters cover research planning and governance, question formulation, the IMRAD structure, quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods designs, research ethics, data privacy, data collection and analysis, validity and reliability, research integrity, dissemination, scholarly publication, stakeholder engagement, knowledge translation, policy use, and contemporary research challenges. Particular attention is given to the Philippine educational setting, including the ethical protection of learners, compliance with data-privacy requirements, responsible publication practices, and the careful governance of artificial intelligence in research. The cumulative Research Management Plan enables learners to develop a complete and defensible plan for addressing a real institutional problem, progressing from problem identification and research design to ethics, analysis, dissemination, publication, and policy translation. Through structured discussions, practical cases, reflection activities, and management tools, the book equips educational leaders to produce trustworthy evidence and transform research findings into informed decisions, improved practices, and responsive educational policies.
