Abstract: This qualitative research examines the facilitators and impediments encountered by senior high school students enrolled in research subjects at Sugod Integrated School, Valencia City, Bukidnon, Philippines during the school year 2024 to 2025. This study considers multiple barriers to student performance in research studies, including anxiety, resource access, language, and time management. The data were analyzed thematically using an open-ended questionnaire and document analysis to extract themes relating to the students’ lived experiences. The results suggest that although students wanted to embrace the value of research to enhance their learning and future careers in developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills, they still experienced challenges in topics, data management, and the research process. The participants utilized strategies to cope with the aforementioned challenges by breaking research tasks into manageable parts, seeking feedback, and using the Internet as a resource. This study emphasizes future educators’ responsibility to support students in developing their research capabilities and positive learning environments. Recommendations included starting research projects early in the academic year, teaching effective time management, and increasing student growth mindset to prepare them for overcoming difficulties in achieving academic success.
