17. GENERAL GUIDELINES IN USING THE QCC 1 The QCC shall be accomplished by a single body . If > 2 evaluators will be engaged, evaluators shall deliberate towards a consensus on inputs and results of the evaluation. Also, no evaluators with conflict of interest relative to the research for evaluation shall be engaged. 2 In accomplishing the Remarks section, evaluators shall provide comments / inputs / recommendations as comprehensive as possible, and specify the concerned section / part and page of the manuscript, as applicable. 3 Use the checklist alonglist the instruction guide 4 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Changing the appearance and accessibility requirements of the QCC, and conversion of the checklist for digital and automated use is authorized. However, modifying the substance of the checklist (e.g. adding or subtracting items, adding a Likert scale to each item), with the exception of adding or subtracting signature fields for signifying the assent of committee members, is strictly prohibited in using the QCC for evaluating research for acceptance and archival purposes. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

18. FOUR Cs OF QUALITY CONTROL CHECKLIST Credible Research is rigorous, transparent and consistent Research is aligned with regulations, ethical, and sustainable Contributory Research is relevant, original, and generalizable Research is communicable and accessible Communicable Conforming

19. CRITERIA OF QUALITY BASIC & ACTION RESEARCHES Credible Research is rigorous, transparent and consistent When it is (a) aligned with regulations – research that is compliant with current applicable regulations; (b) ethical – research that is morally justifiable, open, and supports equal opportunities; and (c) sustainable – research that promotes further scientific inquiry and sound policy/program recommendations. Contributory Research is relevant, original, and generalizable Research is communicable and accessible Communicable Conforming

20. The research, or all relevant sections, does not evidently reflect the statements for each given criterion Not Evident NE The research, or one (1) or more relevant sections does not evidently show the given criterion Partially Evident PE The research or all relevant sections evidently show the given criterion Fully Evident FE DETERMINING THE SCALE General Public Disclosure Limited Public Disclosure
