Expert-Led Sessions Chart GAD Research Landscape and Practice with a resource person for the activity – Dr. Genaro V. Japos, the President of the Philippine Association of Institutional Researchers (PAIR), who guided participants through a comprehensive sequence of sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the morning opening session, Dr. Japos presented \u201cThe State of Published and Online Accessible GAD Research in the Philippines: Emerging Trends in Content and Methods and Research Gaps.\u201d The session provided a critical overview of current GAD scholarship nationwide\u2014identifying dominant themes, evolving methodologies, and significant gaps that institutions such as ZSCMST are well-positioned to address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The afternoon proceeded with Session II: \u201cGAD Research in My Organization,\u201d which took the form of a guided workshop. Participants assessed their own institutional contexts, mapping opportunities and priorities for context-relevant GAD studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Session III followed with a deep-dive into \u201cMethods of GAD Research: Mixed, Quantitative, and Qualitative Designs,\u201d clarifying the appropriate selection, application, and integration of approaches to ensure rigor, validity, and meaningful impact in GAD investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Output Requirement or the Return on Investment and Community Commitment of the participants as a core policy and practice of the ZSCMST GAD Office, that all participants attending GAD-related training and activities are expected to produce tangible outputs upon their return. These deliverables will be consolidated and advanced by one of the pillars of GAD which is the ZSCMST GAD Research Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to GAD Director Ms. Villafranca, this requirement is rooted in the principle of accountability and shared responsibility:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is my firm resolve that every GAD-related training attended by our personnel must yield concrete outputs as their return of investment to the institution and as corporate social responsibility to the community we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outputs will serve as the foundation for future institutional GAD research initiatives\u2014ensuring that knowledge gained translates into evidence-based programs, policy recommendations, and community-responsive development work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The participation of ZSCMST officials and faculty in this national-level capacity-building event underscores the institution\u2019s commitment to advancing gender-responsive research. Equipped with updated methodologies and a clearer view of the national research landscape, the delegation is poised to lead the development of robust, inclusive GAD studies that reflect the unique maritime, academic, and community contexts of ZSCMST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
