As suggested by Matt, I am starting a new thread on this topic. If you will allow me, I could construct the research instrument which we could replicate in our respective places. Then we could collect the data later on for analysis by region and in general.

Please express your willingness to become a part of this endeavor by posting a reply in this thread. For all we know, we could request some funding assistance from CHED (and/or PCAP?). Everything will be subject to memorandum of agreement, of course. It follows that those who will participate as co-researchers would be acknowledged as co-authors upon publication..

The result will be made available to everyone.

Any comments or suggestions?

I fully support Mamdulz idea. This is one unique initiative that will benefit the entire criminology education and needs everybody commitment. Since this pertains to issue affecting the education sector of our profession, PEACE should commission this study in their behalf and funds it. Bring it on, Mandulz.

ay yeah.. PEACE is it! do you know someone from PEACE whom we could contact for possible funding?

thanks Sir Junsy!

The current PEACE President is JC/Supt YAKAL M GIRON BJMP[Ret]. But I don't know if they have enough funds to support it. Hopefully, they have. Just like PCAP, the Treasurer failed to submit her Treasurer's Report during the last PEACE convention. So, we can't be sure yet. I guess at the moment' let's make an estimate how much we need and officially transmit it to them with a plea for funds support. By that, makita na rin natin kung ano ang pananaw ng PEACE sa problema.

Count me in guys.
Been a short while na nawala ako dito. Buti naman mandulz naisipan mo post dito ito.
thanks for considering my suggestion.
So, what do we gonna do initially?  ;D

I talked to the PEACE President about this project and he seems interested too. He said they have about P37K and if we officially request, they will look into it.

that's gud news sir junsy! i'll burn my midnight oil and try to come up with a capsule proposal for PEACE.

we'll spend whatever PEACE could shell out for papers and mailing and everything except honorarium ha? if ok lang sa inyo... inuna ko na mention about it kasi so meager ang 37K for a study that is national in scope.

maybe by the time i log in next time, i could send thru your emails the capsule proposal in PDF so you could give suggestions. This will be a collaborative project. all we could claim is the credit for authorship and the pride that we could do something for a prob that's plaguing crim education.

i'll keep in touch

Thanks Ma'am Dulz. If we got it right, this will be one of the great things that will happened in RKM Files. I'm sure many members of this site will support it the moment the research design is presented here.

This one is totally a good move. Cge...full support po ako dito. Post mo na dito mamdulz the plans, tools etc....

any update mam and sirs? 

teka lang po ha? gawa muna me final exam...

Suspecha ko, malaki ang teacher factor why many takers flunk the board exam  ;D

korek ka jan! malaki ang role ng teacher sa educational system kahit saan. sya kasi nagfefeed sa students ng info. GIGO! (garbage in, garbage out!)

,.mam, sir share q lang poh. para sakin nasa takers poh ung problema.

,.i remember the time when my prof and i talked about the same issue. (actuali hes our vice dean)
,.same conversation with my prof. atty.solosa, former director of civil service.

,.they said na wala naman po problema sa educators samen, and i have no doubt about dat. (hindi po sa nagbubuhat ng sariling bangko) halos kilala q na po clang lahat, even sa review manuals, updated naman poh. may crim board review poh kc samen always.

,.lumalabs kung bakit madaming bumabagsak samin is . (1) sa skul puh namen, ung ibang bumagsak, ung hindi nagreview. (2) ung iba ung skul bukul during their  college times. (3) ung iba, ung nagenrol for review pero hindi umaatend. (3) at ung paulit ulit na nageexam pero bagsak pa din e ung mga hindi naman nagreview, umaasa lang sa chamba, "baka palarin" ika nga nila.

,.suggestion po pla, ung analyzing ng data pwede ring by school, and then in general.

,.and maybe another best way as for now is to conduct survey with sets of questions for those who have taken the board and for those criminology students and their plans regarding the board exam. and ung facts pwede mang galing sa mga nasa PRC, review center, etc.

,.so kahit wala pang funding atleast meron ng ideas na magagather.

lets wait for mamdulz about the tool.
meantime...propose a title  ;D

Magz, nice input.. however, at this point you are zeroing in on the review alone (as if what the takers learn came from the review alone. don't forget that it is a "re-view" of what they have "viewed" in the last four or more years in the academe..)

i think it is a composite of many factors. but your suggestions are well-taken. i'm working on the tool right now. i'll incorporate all possible factors like the personal and academic profile of the taker, profile of the school, the review process, etc.

i'm taking my time with the tool but i'll ask for your help guys in fine-tuning or calibrating the tool. it must gather what it's suppose to gather.

yeah.. sir SS, we need a title for the study. bright ideas, anyone?

let me start one
