- As teachers for HEIs ( tertiary level) we are expected to be a good teacher
and as well as good researchers

- Research demands skills
- Teachers are expected to do good research
2. Research as an integral process of effective teaching
3. Research as the production of knew knowledge
4. Research as an input for socio-economic development for our country and
people

a. Economic status of the country and the amount of research that has
been devote to the problems
