 Activity 1: Reflect

Q1: What do you know about
action research format?
Q2: What are its phases and
contents?
Q3: What are the advantages and
disadvantages of having a unified
action research format?
 Analyze:

1. How did you feel about the
activity?
2. What do the responses in
each question tell us about the
action research format?

DIVISION ACTION
RESEARCH FORMAT
 I. The Situation

 It refers to the descriptive background of the
problem. It is an account of the local setting where
the problem occurred. The researcher may talk about
her classroom to provide a clear picture of the
problem and the context from which it occurs. The
written observation slowly unfolds the problem,
how it occurs and what conditions surround it. The
data to back up the claim are presented and these
will justify the need for the research. The strength of
the justification may rely heavily on the data
presented.
 II. The Problem

 Specify the core of difficulty or crisis. This
is the main problem. In this portion the main
problem is broken down into specific sub
problems from which the former could be
attributed. This is not similar to the Statement
of the Problem in a thesis. It is the problem
that the teacher faces in teaching her subject
or any endeavor in school.
 III. Generation of
Alternative Solutions

 This portion brings about the possible approaches to
solve the problem. It must give good reasons for use of
such alternative. Alternative approaches can be drawn
from innovative methodologies, for instance, in the
teaching of science, a teacher may explore the
effectiveness of any combination of the following
strategies : POE, process approach, cooperative learning.
Design a plan of action that will allow you to make
change and to study that change. It is important that only
variable is altered. While the new technique is
implemented, continue to document until the desired
result is attained
 IV. The Plan of Action

 It is divided into sub- components,
namely:

 OBJECTIVES,
TIME FRAME,
TARGET SUBJECTS
AND ACTIVITIES TO BE UNDERTAKEN
 
 A. Objectives – goals towards which all the efforts
are directed
 B. Time frame – specifies the period or duration of
the study, beginning up to ending
 C. Target Subjects – focus of the study. They
compose those who were observed to possess the
problem characteristics
 D. Activities to be undertaken – series of strategic
steps on how we can materialize our objectives.
 
 E. Evaluation Criteria – shows the process by
which the success of the project may be gauged. It
shall indicate the criterion by which the researcher
declares the success of the project.
 F. Research Design – summarizes the research
activities into sub components: the subjects, the
research activities, the data to be collected and the
statistical analysis to answer the objectives specified
in the study.
 V. Presentation and
Interpretation
 of Results
In this phase, the researcher
present the summary tables of
results and the description of each.
In addition, a clear correlation
must be presented between the
tables and the sub-problem.
 VI. Conclusions

summarizes in clear thoughts and ideas
what findings are, and what these
findings mean. This is in preparation to
the succeeding statements with
probable implications and the
necessary recommendation in answer
to the problems presented at the
beginning of the study.
 VI. Recommendations

Treaties, appeals and entities
which are perceived to solve the
problem and help establish the
new systems to ease out present
problems and make better existing
situations.
 VII. Reflection

talks about looking back the
original intentions of the researcher
and what has been achieved.
