‎The Office of the Research Services, in partnership with the College of Education, officially launched its 1st Student Research Conference, Salikturo 2026 with the theme "Pioneering Research, Inspiring Innovation, and Shaping Future Educators", at the Atty. Amador Dela Merced Sports Complex.

‎The conference brought together COED student‑researchers, faculty members, research evaluators, and invited guests for the presentation of the research outputs produced by fourth-year students.

‎

‎The program began with the presentation of the conference rationale and the presentation of all participating student‑researchers, led by Dr. Romailyn V. Flores, NC Research Coordinator.

‎

‎Dr. Flores explained the objectives, importance, and expected outcomes of Salikturo 2026 which according to her is the combined effort in making Saliksik at Pagtuturo.

‎

‎The keynote address was delivered by Dr. Rodbert M. Santos of Borol Elementary School, who highlighted the importance of research among aspiring educators. He encouraged the student-participants to develop the habit of inquiry, innovation, and evidence-based practices even before entering the teaching profession.

‎

‎Before the research presentations began, Dr. Flores discussed the guidelines for poster and oral presentations explaining the rules, evaluation criteria, time limits, and standards that all presenters and evaluators are expected to follow.

‎

‎During the presentation of research outputs, the student‑researchers explained the background, methods, findings, and implications of their work, and answered the questions raised by the evaluators. Through this activity, the students demonstrated their capacity to conduct meaningful, education‑focused research and defended the ideas they had developed.

‎

‎As the first‑ever Salikturo 2026, the conference marked another milestone for the College of Education as the activity provided students an opportunity to showcase their research and strengthening the research culture among future educators.
