For this purpose, we examined the educational research outcomes of a government-funded educational research institute(GFERI) and the research institutes affiliated to local offices of education(LOERI). A comparative analysis of the research reports by LOERI and GFERI was done with a total of 683 research reports published by 13 regional educational policy research institutes and 1,023 reports published by the GFERI. The published reports were analyzed according to publication year, category, theme, school level, research type, and research focus. Classification by publication year shows that the number of research reports decreased in GFERI while LOERI increased the number of research reports. It is also revealed that there is a big gap among the LOERIs; while the least number of studies are 4 research report, the largest number of studies are 151. 317 out of 1,023 reports by GFERI were in the teaching and learning field; 296 reports were in the field of curriculum and textbook, and 262 reports were studies on assessment. 437 cases out of a total of 683 research reports by the regional educational research institute were categorized as โlocal research issuesโ. The comparison between the LOERI and GFERI shows that the most significant difference lies in local issues, and one common area is learning and teaching improvement. It implies that local educational policy research institutes has conducted research on various regional areas(regional school policy, school administration, local educational policy etc.) to meet various local needs, while the GFERI has done educational research at the national and international levels with focus on curriculum, evaluation, and teaching and learning. In the school level classification, the studies dealing with all elementary, middle, and high schools outnumber the other types of research. It is found that local research institutes did more studies at the kindergarten level than GFERI. In the comparison according to regional specificity, it is found that GFERI focuses on policies and educational issues at the central level, while the LOERI conducted studies on region-focused issues. The scope of GFERI research goes beyond the domestic to the global level. While the staff member of GFERI were conducted studies, teachers and university professors joined research as external co-researchers in the regional educational policy research institutes. According to the new governmentโs local education autonomy policy, LOERIs are expected to carry out autonomous, more practical and field-based policy research in accordance with the policy of each provincial office of education. Recently, a network of regional education policy research institutes has recently been established to carry out joint research among regions to strengthen the capacity of individual research institutes and to overcome the limitations or local constraints. It is necessary for GFERI as a government-funded research institute, to carry out studies with local research institutes to meet needs from local areas across the country. Efforts needs to be made to seek effective ways of doing research in collaboration from selecting research topics, and collecting data and analyzing to proposing educational policies. A consultation body can be established to enhance collaboration among institutes. Such collaboration is expected to support and bring about an effective implementation of the new educational policy with focus on local education autonomy.
