Learning Episode 3

Understanding AR Concepts, Processes and Model

Participate and Assist

You are now ready to participate and assist!

Understanding fully the concept and the process of Action Research will Enable you to
learned and provide the need assistance to your teacher mentor in doing Action Research.

Notice

What concepts have been emphasized in the task and info graphics? Give at least four.

1.
2.
3.
4.

Since the 3 models are all for action research, what are the common elements of the three?

Analyze

Choose the AR sample Abstract that you submitted in Episode 2.

 Analyze the components vis-à-vis only one model out of the 3 presented.

 If you choose to compare whit Model A-McNiff & Whitehead, 2006, here are the component
Title and Author of the Action Research:

OBSERVE The Problem

REFLECT Reflection

PLAN Plan of Action

ACT Implementation

EVALUATE Finding

MODIFY Recommendation

 If you choose to compare with Model B-Nelson, O. 2014, here are the components.

VIII. References Write at least 3 references.

What have you understood about the concept of Action Research and how will these
be utilized in your practice?

Reflect

As a future teacher, is conducting an Action Research worth doing?

Field Study 2
Why

How can AR be useful for classroom teacher?

Write Action Research Prompts

OBSERVE

Remembering my classroom observations in FS 1, I noticed that there are questions that

I raised in my mind. These include:

a.
b.
c.

REFLECT

Thinking deeply about those problems, perhaps something must have been done to
solve the problem or answer the question, like:

a.
b.
c.

PLAN

Now, that I am in FS 2, I plan to make a plan for my solution to problem (choose from
a, b, c) because

ACT

My action will come later, given enough time in FS2 or during my Teaching Internship.

Check for Mastery

Direction: Check from the choices, what answer/s respond to the question correctly and put an
X if otherwise.

Field Study 2
 1. Action research requires a teacher to be:
Observant of what is happening in the classroom.
Asking one self of how to improve teaching.
Following the daily routine all the time.
Finding ways on how children should learn better
Blaming learners for their inability to learn.
2. There are many ways of doing action research which follow a cyclical process. The
process include:
Observe, Reflect, Plan, Act
Observe, Plan, Act, Reflect
Reflect, Act, Plan, Observe
Plan, Observe, Act, Reflect
Modify, Observe, Plan, Reflect
3. As an action Research, I will be developing my skill as a person who is
Systematic
Reflective
Rigorous
Futuristic
Situational
4. On which of the following would you choose to conduct an Action Research. Why?
Change on the classroom practices. Why?

Effect of curriculum restructuring. Why?

Understanding of self as a teacher. Why?

Teaching a new process to the students. Why?

5. Which of the following relates closely to what action research is?

Used to address practical problems in the classroom
Refers only to everyday life of the learners
Allows teachers to study their own classroom
Brings theories and practices together

Work on my Artifacts

Your artifact will be a full blown completed Action Research
