To strengthen the culture of research and continuous improvement in education, the faculty members of Isidore de Seville Integrated School attended an Action Research Seminar on June 13, 2025, facilitated by Mr. Julius L. Fabian, an accomplished educator specializing in senior high school research.

The program opened with a prayer led by Teacher Brenelli S. Francisco, Grade School Teacher, and Documentalist. Teacher Anri Jane C. Crisostomo, the Head Teacher, introduced the speaker with warmth and excitement. Teacher Arcelita J. Gaspar, the School Principal, took the introduction a step further, expressing heartfelt pride in Mr. Fabian. “I was once his professor, and it brings me great joy to see how much he has grown in the field of education.”, she said.

Sir Julio began the seminar by discussing the fundamentals of Action Research, emphasizing its importance in educational practice. “Research is important in education because it builds a culture of excellence,” he shared, inspiring the faculty to view research not just as an academic requirement but as a tool for meaningful transformation.

The seminar was highly interactive, with teachers engaging in discussions and activities. Teachers were divided into two groups, each tasked with developing an action research proposal relevant to Isidore. The collaborative brainstorming led to insightful outputs, which the groups presented afterward.

Impressed with the performance of the faculty, Sir Julio stated, “Based on the output, I believe the Isidore faculty has great potential in research.”

The seminar concluded with the awarding of certificates. Teacher Princess Bernardo awarded the certificate of appreciation to the resource person for his significant contribution towards the professional growth of the Isidore faculty. Participants from the teaching staff also received certificates of participation.

This seminar is another step in Isidore’s mission towards cultivating reflective and research-minded educators, all for the excellence of its learners, the Isidoreans.
