Popis: In education, action research is significant. In order to address problems and concerns in the classroom, it enables teachers to figure out what went wrong and what may be done. A way to improve classroom instruction and have a bigger impact on students' overall development in public schools is to train teachers to do action research. This study examined how educational research is viewed in the context of public schools in order to assist teachers in upgrading and improving their skills. Using data from public secondary school teachers in the Division of Agusan del Sur, this study analyzes their motivation for writing, research skills and competence, and perceptions. This research project utilized quantitative research. Specifically, it employed a descriptive-correlational research design to evaluate secondary teachers' writing motivation, research skills, and competence, and perspectives on the parts, scope, and significance of action research. The sample size of the population was determined using Slovin's formula with a 0.05% margin of error. The study had been analyzed using IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). The data gathered was treated using standard deviation and mean as statistical tools to interpret the teachers' responses. For a correlational analysis between research-writing competence and motivation in teachers' perceptions, the researcher used an alpha of 0.05 and a confidence level of 95%. The secondary teachers who took part in the study exhibited strong, significant motivation and competence in academic research writing. They place a lot of importance on improving their writing. Secondary teachers are capable of writing action research papers that consider the technical aspects, write an introduction, choose an appropriate methodology, present results, and discussions, come to conclusions, offer recommendations, summarize references, and take other research papers into consideration. The Department of Education should use extensive seminars and workshops on action research to give teachers more knowledge and a deeper understanding of how to conduct research.
