Writing the Statement of the Problem
Example 1
There is a low academic performance among the Grade 12
learners in Physical Science as a contributory factor on the low MPS in
Science. Even the teachers prepare and deliver the lesson well, there are
still students who got very low in both formative and summative
assessments. This problem has negatively affected the students because
they get low grades. A possible cause of this problem is poor study
habits. Perhaps this study that will assess the effectiveness of the
Classroom Program on Study Skills will improve the academic
performance of Grade 12 learners in Physical Science in Porac National
High School for the S.Y. 2017-2018.
Writing the Statement
of the Problem
Specifically, it sought answers to the following questions:
1. How may the Grade 12 learners be described in terms of
their level of academic performance in Physical Science
before implementing the Classroom Program on Study
Skills?

2. How may the Grade 12 learners be described in terms
of their academic performance in Physical Science after
the implementation of the Classroom Program on Study
Skills?
3. Is there a significant difference in the level of academic
performance of Grade 12 learners in Physical Science
before and after the implementation of the intervention?

Writing the Statement of the Problem
Example 2
The academic plagiarism has been recurring in students’
work. Despite the symptomology, teachers did not require their
students to provide citations and reference list each time the
students submit an output. They did not integrate in their Daily
Learning Log (DLL), particularly in their lessons, the importance
of crediting the work of others. This problem affected much the
students’ behavior since the school does not have any existing
policy on academic plagiarism. Perhaps this study that
introduced a continuous action plan will promote and sustain
academic integrity.

PROPOSED INNOVATION,
INTERVENTION AND STRATEGY
Sample Intervention
Proposed Intervention
To address the identified problem on low Mean Percentage
Score (MPS) results in Physical Science and to further help the
student-participants of the study to improve their academic
performance, the researcher conceptualized and introduced an
intervention. The intervention was implemented twice a week
where in students were taught attitudes, values, techniques, tips,
and proper scheduling to manage their time properly and wisely in
studying their lessons in Physical Science which are incorporated in
the prepared module entitled “Classroom Program on Study Skills
for Grade 12 Learners”.
Sample Intervention
Action Plan
A. Objectives
Game-based Learning has the following objectives: introduce
the adopted games like Damath, Math Checker, and Krypto to
learners, provide learners conducive and friendly competition as
well as learning math concepts and skills, increase pupils
performance level on mathematics 6, develop learners’ love and
appreciation for board games, and delivers positive learning
activities to learn calculation with their peers/friends.
Sample Action Plan
B. Time Frame
Game-based Learning Activities were integrated in every
related Mathematics 6 lesson from second to fourth quarter during
school year 2016-2017.
C. Respondents
Respondents were all at risk Grade Six learners in
Mathematics of Cadena de Amor in San Roque Elementary School,
Sariaya, Quezon. They were given ample time to have direct
experience on game board assisted with the performing pupils
during their class.
Sample Action Plan
D. Activities
To successfully implement Game-Based Learning, the
researcher prepared the necessary materials, rules and procedures
including guidelines in playing the game as to incorporate them into
their related Math content or topics. Pre evaluation and post
evaluation had been administered in order to test the effectiveness
of incorporating game in their learning. T-test for correlated
samples was used in comparing the means before and after the
treatment. This was also used to test the significant difference
between the pre-test and post-test.

Writing Action Research Methods
A. Respondents
Based on the first periodical result, it has been recorded that
among the other grade levels in the school, the Grade Four class has
the lowest mean percentage score of 19.46, with a standard
deviation of 5.82 in Science. With this condition, all thirty-nine (39)
Grade Four pupils of Ilayang Dupay Elementary School, Lucena City
were purposively selected as the respondents of this study.
Sample Action Research Methods
B. Data Gathering Methods
In order to attain the desired output, a 40- item multiple choice
type of pretest/posttest was developed in order to determine the
performance in Science before and after utilizing infographic materials.
The basis of the test was the learning competencies in the fourth quarter
of Grade Four Science, as prescribed by the Department of Education
Curriculum Guide. There were five learning competencies in the fourth
quarter. Each competency was categorized according to the taxonomy of
learning.
Sample Action Research Methods
Hypothesis
1. There is no significant difference between the
pretest and posttest scores of the experimental and
control groups.

Writing Results and Discussions
Findings
The following are the findings in this action research.
1. The mean scores of both control (11.76, Sd=4.06) and the
experimental (12.07, Sd=3.56) groups do not significantly differ
based on the t-coefficient result of 0.8109, which is lesser than the
tabular of 1.9845 at 98 degrees of freedom.
2. There is no significant difference between the control group’s
pretest and posttest scores based on the computed t coefficient of
0.09, which is lesser than the tabular value of 1.9850 using 96
degrees of freedom; but significant difference exists for the
experimental group as signified by the calculated t-ratio of 1.02,
which is greater than the tabular value of 1.9840 using 98 degrees
of freedom.
