I. Module Title: Module 1 – Lesson 3 – Understanding AR Concepts, Processes and Models

II. Lesson Objectives:

At the end of this Learning Episode 3. Students must be able to:

 Use concepts and processes of action research.

 Identify sample models of AR such as of DepEd, 2017: Mcniff and Whitehead 2006; and
Nelson, 2014.
III. Lesson Opener:

Action research has been embraced in education for its value in transforming school practices by the
practitioners themselves. It is used to address practical problems in the classroom. It is a process that
