OVERVIEW
Research is one of the three functions of Higher Education Institution (HEI), the other two being instruction and extension. It aims to advance exiting knowledge in a discipline, to fill significant gaps in such knowledge and develop new paradigms in the different fields of studies. Hence, research has a very significant role in achieving the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng San Pablo’s vision of producing competent and competitive graduates, its mission of providing a well-balanced and relevant educational program and developing PLSP as the center of excellence in education. Through research, PLSP could also contribute towards social awareness and serve the needs of the community.
To realize these goals, research should be a culture in PLSP with its faculty members and students actively involved in this field. Research will be conducted in different fields of studies like in arts, sciences, education, business, and technologies for the continuous development of the faculty’s instructional and extension-based competencies. Faculty members should recognize research activities as a normal part of a productive faculty member’s academic work that enhances instruction, extension, and general academic effectiveness.
A well planned “Research and Innovation Program” will benefit not only PLSP and the individual faculty members but most importantly the students and society. Research will provide the faculty and the students the pleasure and passion for continuous learning. Increased competencies and knowledge through active involvement in research will greatly enhance the capability of PLSP to be an effective provider of quality education.
