Abstract :This descriptive-correlational study aims to determine the relationship between teachers` use of academic research databases, research skills, and teachers` performance. Research teachers in public secondary schools under the Pagadian City division, Philippines, were selected as participants for the survey. The results showed a strong positive correlation between teachers` use of academic research databases and research skills. However, teachers` performance has no relationship with research skills and teachers` use of academic research databases. Since teachers` use of academic research databases and research skills among the teacher-participants of this study were not related to their very satisfactory performance, teachers may have been developed successfully due to the Department of Education`s reinforced programs, training conferences, and workshops.
Keywords : Academic research databases, Research skills, Teachers performance
