This study investigates the research readiness of Alternative Learning System ALS senior high school students at Bulan National High School for the 2023 - 2024 school year. Using a mixed - method approach, 72 students were assessed using Lacson’s Research Skill Scale to evaluate their abilities in problem conceptualization, research methods, data analysis, and writing reporting results. Follow - up interviews provided deeper insights into the underlying factors affecting readiness. The findings revealed moderate readiness overall, with variations across different skill sets. Key challenges included concept mapping, question formulation, information literacy, and statistical analysis, influenced by factors such as work - life balance and internet connectivity. To address these gaps, a research toolkit with lesson exemplars is proposed to enhance the research capabilities of ALS students.
