Juan C. Dela Cruz FS 402 Portfolio

Doing Action Research: An Overview

Every teacher is an action researcher. Everyone can do it. Teachers and students can do it
together.

This episode focuses on doing action research as one of the roles of the team Teacher
should take interest to know how students learn, wants to make innovation curriculum and
desires to improve teaching practice. In order to achieve these, do action research on the
everyday practical problems. These problematic situations discrepancies emerge between what is
intended and what actually occurs in the classroom.

Revisit the infographic/s

There is a general agreement among action research community that action research is
about ACTION: taking action to improve practice and RESEARCH: finding things out and
coming to a new understanding that create new knowledge.

Action research is not new. It dates to the time of John Dewey in 1920 when he
introduced the idea of inquiry. This was followed by Collier, 1945; Lewin, 1949; Corey, 1933
and many others who came later. Schon introduced the notion of action research as a habit of
continuing inquiry. Inquiry begins with situations that are problematic, confusing, uncertain, and
conflicting, and so does Action Research

It was Stephen Corey (1953) who defined Action Research as the process through which
practitioners like teachers, study their own practice to solve their personal or professional
practical problems. Further on, John Illiot in 1993 clarified that action research is concerned with
everyday practical problems experienced by the teachers, rather than the theoretical problems
defined by pure researchers.

Action research is grounded on the reality of the school, classroom, teachers and students
Sometimes it is labelled as Teacher Action Research (TAR) but is popularly known simply as
Action Research (AR).

Action Research is a process that allows teachers to study their own classrooms, schools
and educational setting in order to understand them better and to improve their quality and
13
Juan C. Dela Cruz FS 402 Portfolio

effectiveness. The processes of observation, reflection and inquiry lead to action that makes a
difference in teaching and learning. It bridges doing (practice) and learning (study) and reflection
(inquiry).

Participate and Assist

You must have experienced in your past subjects, doing some activities o tasks similar to
action research. These are activities that required you to do Make Action or the other way
around. Schon (1987) distinguishes Reflection in action or reflection on action as two different
things.
Perhaps your mentor teacher has already done an Action Research. Now is the for you to
participate and assist in ways that you can do.

Here is what you will do

Making a list of Completed Action Research Titles by Teachers in the Field

Understanding AR Concepts, Process and Models

FS 2 3
To have a meaningful and successful accomplishment in this FS episode, be sure to read
through the whole episode before participating and assisting in your FS 2 Resource Teacher's
class. Note all the information you will need and tasks you will need to do before working on this
episode.

Target Your Intended Learning Outcomes


At the end of this Learning Episode, I must be able to:
 use concepts and processes of action research.
 identify sample models of AR such as of DepEd, 2017; McNiff & Whitehead, 2006; and
Nelson, 2014

Clarify Your Task


Understanding and Using Action Research Concepts and Processes

The definition of action research evolved over time. There is no singular definition of
action research. Anchored on the idea of inquiry by John Dewey, several other authors advanced
the concept of action research. Action research is a type of inquiry that is:
 practical as it involves making changes to practice.
 theoretical as it is informed by theory and can generate new insights.
 concerned with change and improvement.
26
Juan C. Dela Cruz FS 402 Portfolio

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 allows teachers to study their own classroom and school setting to
improve their effectiveness. Teacher Action Research (TAR) is a method for educational
practitioners (teachers, school leaders) to engage in the assessment and improvement of their
own practice. It is a tool to help classroom teachers consider their teaching methods or to adopt a
strategy in order to solve everyday problem in the school setting.
Here are some questions and answers that you need to know.

1. What are the Core Characteristics of AR (Titchen, 2015)?


 Systematic - Like any form of research, it follows a system.
 Rigorous- It has rigor, meaning a strict adherence to the rules of empirical studies,
 Reflective - It follows a continuous reflection and action.
 Situational- It is more specific to the location (school) circumstances (teaching and
learning, etc.).
 Participative - AR can be participative where teachers and learners are co-researchers.
 Future-oriented - It seeks solution to the current problem for future improvement.
2. Why is Action Research useful to me as a Teacher Researcher?

 AR can help me to learn how to improve my practice as a teacher in terms of teaching


methods, classroom management, preparation of the learning environment, developing
instructional materials and assessment.
 AR can help me learn more about a wider range of research methods that I can use in
the future.
 AR can provide me more space to think deeply about the issues that confront teaching
and learning.
 AR can help me engage with my mentor and peers to enable me to improve my
teaching practices through action research.
 AR can help me develop new knowledge which is directly related to my area of
specialization.

3. What types of classroom action studies that can I engage in?


 Creating changes in the classroom practices. Example: What changes will daily writing
have on my students?)
 Establishing effects of curriculum restructuring. Example: Will the use of mother
tongue enhance the reading skills of my learners?)
 Enhancing new understanding of learners. Example: What happens when students get
demotivated?
 Teaching a new process to the students. Example: How can I teach third graders to do
reflection?

Both Action Research Processes above are supported by the two AR Models which will be
presented next.

Action research is a dynamic process anchored on Reflection ↔Action Cycle of Observing,


Reflecting, Acting, Evaluating and Modifying.

Figure 1. An Action-Reflection Cycle as Basis for Action Research

Source: McNiff and Whitehead, 2006

Action research is a cyclical, recursive process of observe >> reflect>> act>> evaluates>>
modify>> move in new direction is known as action-reflection (McNiff & Whitehead, 2006). In
2011, McNiff defined action research as a form of inquiry that enables practitioners to
investigate and evaluate their work. Before that, Corey in 1953 viewed action research as a
recursive de repeated process, proceeding through spiraling cycle of planning, actions, reflections
and change.

In a similar vein, Nelson, 2014 proposed an action research cycle that starts with Observe
followed by Reflect, Plan and Act which can also go through evaluation and modification. It also
follows a cyclical process.

ABSTRACT

In order to help the teachers in providing quality basic education and appropriate technical assistance, the researcher
assessed Grade 7 students’ readiness on Online Distance Learning (ODL) modality in terms of availability of ICT
equipment, level of proficiency/competence of student-respondents in using the different Software and platform,
level of competency of student-respondents’ family member/s and friends/neighbor/s in using the different computer
software and online and internet applications and communication platforms.

For this study, the researcher used descriptive quantitative research design to describe students’ self-assessment on
their readiness on Online Distance Learning (ODL). A survey questionnaire using google form were used for the
student-respondents. This research instrument was adopted from the assessment tool provided by the Department of
Education (DepEd) as stipulated in DepEd Memorandum No. 119 s. 2020 entitled “Conduct of school Readiness
Assessment on Online Learning”. The first part concentrated on the profile of the student-respondents. The second
part focused on students’ self-assessment on their readiness on online distance learning modality.

Based on the results, the student-respondents are not yet ready for online distance learning in terms of availability
of ICT equipment and internet accessibility. The researcher concluded that the students’ decision to adopt e-learning
is not contingent upon how familiar they are with related technology because majority of them are not
knowledgeable in MS Word, MS Excel, MS Power point, Adobe, Movie Maker, Microsoft Teams, Hangouts, Quiz
Maker, and majority are beginner in Zoom and Google Meet. Parents/Guardians, friends, and neighbors of student
respondents can provide technical assistance and support because majority of them are competent in using computer
software and in using different online and internet applications and communication platforms.

Keywords: Online Distance Learning, student readiness, ICT equipment, internet accessibility, online platform,
computer software.

class. Note all the information you will need and tasks you will need to do before working on this
episode.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome

 At the end of this Learning Episode, I must be able to revisit the concept of learning
environment in the context of the current teaching and learning situation.

 Clarify Your Task



Overview of the Learning Environment

A learning environment, traditionally called the classroom, is a space in a school that


supports student learning. It is a self-contained area where teacher teaches, and children learn. In
the classroom are chairs or tables for students and a front table for the teacher. This a traditional
face-to-face classroom. Most often the students should face the teacher as the chairs are arranged
that way. But as teaching deliveries changed to enhance learning, modification in the seating
arrangement evolved and more opportunity for the learners to move about for cooperative
learning was addressed.

A conducive learning environment should have the following characteristics:

• Flexibility – There is opportunity to have small groups, movable walls.

• Openness - Learning corners/areas which could be shared.

• Access to resources - Audio-visual materials are ready and open for use.

• Physical classroom - Space is clean and safe.

• Psychological atmosphere - It is friendly and accommodating.

The classroom climate nurtures the intellectual, physical, social and emotional
development of the students.
43
Juan C. Dela Cruz FS 402 Portfolio

Here are some specific strategies for developing the optimal classroom climate. You may
consider these

1. Learning environment addresses both physical and psychological needs of the students

for security and order, love and belonging, personal power and competence, freedom

and fun

2. Create a sense of order. For example, teacher should teach students how to

• enter the classroom and become immediately engaged in the activity; distribute and collect
materials.

• find out about missed assignments due to absence and how to make up for

them.

• get the teacher's attention without disrupting the class and

• arrange desks, tables quickly and quietly for various purposes.

3. Greet learners as they enter your face-to-face or on-line classroom.

4. In a healthy and conducive learning environment, everybody belongs and knows each

other.

5. Encourage class building activities like games and team activities.

6. In a conducive learning environment, success whether small or big is recognized and

celebrated.

Both approaches, either the traditional face-to-face or online, lead to positive results but
in different ways, so usually in practice both approaches are combined.

Target Your Intended Learning Outcomes
At the end of this Learning Episode, I must be able to assist in the preparation of the traditional
face-to-face learning environment.

Clarify Your Task


Enhancing a Face-to-Face or In-Person Classroom Environment for Learning
In a face-to-face classroom, students and the teacher are physically present. They meet at
a time set in the classroom. The teacher prepares activities, provides instruction, and evaluates
students’ learning Equipment and instructional materials are made available in the classroom
where teaching and learning take place most of the time.
Some of the advantages of a face-to-face learning environment for the students are:
 less distraction and more concentration than when studying at home or elsewhere.
 greater understanding and real-world examples from teachers and classmates:
 greater chance of completing course work by doing it in the classroom space.
 learn more easily and more comfortably in familiar, traditional classroom situation:
 access more relevant information from teachers and classmates’ interactions and
 greater opportunity to connect and socialize, network and solve problems together with
classmates and teacher

Here are some characteristics of the face-to-face or in-person learning environment.


 Learning space is physical. Both the teacher and learner see and hear each other from the
same contained safe place called the classroom.
 Lessons are delivered with the teacher physically facilitating. Reading assignment are
from textbooks and other resources provided or referred.
 Class meeting occur regularly on a specific time or schedule.
 Teacher leads the conversation within a limited amount of time
 Assessment is done face-to-face and usually during the class meeting.

Given the concepts and the infographic, how can you participate and assist in face-to-face
learning environment?

As a future educator, I can


participate in and contribute to a
face-to-face learning
environment by providing
students with a safe, fair, and
conducive classroom
environment in which everyone
is free to ask questions and
participate in class.
I will encourage students to
share their thoughts, interact
with one another, and
provide feedback on something
or the lesson. In addition, I will
allow students
53

to work independently as well


as in groups to create and
develop their social,
creative, and analytical thinking
skills in order to get a better
result from their
task output. Furthermore,
because we are in this new
curriculum, I believe I will
be able to employ a variety of
teaching strategies that will
greatly benefit and
assist in a face-to-face learning
environment. I believe that I can
use technology

whole episode before participating and assisting in your FS 2 Resource Teacher’s class. Note all
the information you will need and tasks you will need to do before working on this episode.

Target your Intended Learning Outcomes


At the end of this Learning Episode, I must be able to explore the different ways of
establishing a safe and conducive on-line or virtual learning environment.

Clarify Your Task


Safe and Conducive On-line or Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)
Education has dramatically shifted in recent years. Schools aligned physical spaces to
flexible spaces that integrate technology to support the 21st century learning opportunities. The
modern learning environment incorporates the three elements: (1) connected devices such as
notebooks, tablets, smart phones; (2) audio visual tools including projectors and touch screen
displays and (3) purposeful furniture such as standing desks, collaborative workstations and
connected seating that allow students to learn in different ways at different times.

The online learning environment requires a constant access to connectivity which allows
learning to take place anytime, anyplace, and anywhere. On-line or virtual learning can be
delivered synchronous or asynchronous, so the teacher’s role is a moderator between the
technology and the students.

Unlike face-to-face, on-line, or virtual learning does not happen in one contained physical
space but learners are in different imaginary spaces made possible by technology such as
computer network. Visual classrooms refer to digital learning environment that allows teachers
and students to connect online in real-time.

Let us now consider an on-line or virtual classroom or learning environment. What are some
safety reminders to remember?

1. Encourage parents and carers involvement. Keep parents/carers informed of how you
and the children will be using the on-line platform.
58
Juan C. Dela Cruz FS 402 Portfolio

 Assist them on how to set up appropriate home learning spaces, if students


will be learning from home
 Provide contract times and classroom schedules
 Provide procedures to follow and consequence if they failed
 Share information about protection from cyberbullying and image above.
2. Make lesson plans as interactive as possible to keep attention of students. Be flexible
with class length and topics.
 Make assignments as guided as possible. Teachers may need to source
research sites to ensure on-line safety
 Provide students with resources. Share with your students’ websites and
videos so as not take them to inappropriate materials such as ads from
YouTube and other sites.

3. Encourage public chatting. Avoid texting students one-on-one, instead send a group
text, or group chat. When using technology like zoom, google meet, MOOCS allow
public chatting or group instead of chatting privately so that you can be part of their
conservation.

4. Use of password, log in and log out.


 All students should have individual password. This should not be disclosed
 No one should log in as another person.
 All users should log off when they have finished working.

There are more reminders to follow in the use of the digital platform for virtual or on-line
learning environment but for the meantime let us have a few. As technology advances, so
do policies and guidelines.

Participate and Assist


If you are assisting your mentor in an on-line class, these are some reminders you should
share to your remote learners on a synchronous platform lie google-meet, zoom, MOOCS or any
other platforms you are familiar with and are using.

With the use of any google-meet, zoom or any platform, organize a virtual class. Do this
with the guidance of your mentor.

Make sure your device is Find a quiet place free of Be on time for the class

Notice
Unlike the traditional face-to-face classroom environment, online or virtual environment
is a bit difficult to manage. It is because Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is imaginary and
not in the physical sense. It has no corners or walls, and it can be set up with the support of
technology.

As a teacher, what have you discovered to be easy to implement in your virtual class?
As an observer in an online class, I discovered that online classes are difficult to manage,
but we must find a solution. Even though everything is done online, the first thing I'll do is
establish rules and controls. My students' participation will be recorded, and I will use
synchronize and offbeat to give them enough time to finish their activities. The thought is that it
would be fantastic for three times its current price.

How did the students show their active participation in the lesson?
Students demonstrate active participation in the lesson by arriving on time for an online
virtual class and always participating in the class by raising their hands or clicking the raise hand

Clarify Your Task

Establishing My Own Classroom Routines and Procedures (Face-to-Face or Remote Learning)

Routines are the backbone of daily classroom life. They facilitate teaching and learning.
Routines don't just make the life of the teacher easier. They save valuable classroom time.
Efficient routines make it easier for students to learn and achieve more.
Establishing routines early in the school year enables you to run your daily activities run
smoothly; ensures that you manage time effectively; helps you maintain order in the classroom;
makes you more focus in teaching because he spends less time in giving directions/ instructions;
and enables you to explain to the learners what are expected of them.
Classroom routine set the foundation for a meaningful school year with teachers and
students’ weather in the classroom or remotely. To teach classroom routines remotely it is best to
record videos and to post this in the learning management system so students may watch them
63
Juan C. Dela Cruz FS 402 Portfolio

repeatedly for better retention and for families to view them so they can assist their children
when needed.
Students can take an active role in establishing classroom routines. They can brainstorm
on ideas which they will most likely do and follow. Routines are important especially when done
in remote learning so that there will be less distraction both for synchronous and asynchronous
participation.

Key Elements for Effective Classroom Management:


1. Classroom Design: This refers to seating arrangement, bulletin boards, display, storage
area, equipment, supplies etc.
2. Rules: These are the expectations set at the beginning of the class to foster love, care,
respect, and sense of community in the class.
3. Discipline: Classroom rules must define the consequences of every action/misdemeanor
in class. This will ensure fairness and consistency in dealing with the students. This also
includes the rewards given for good behavior.
4. Scheduling: This includes time allotment given to each period and activity in class. This
will make the students to stay on time and on task.
5. Organization: This refers to the systematic arrangement of files and records and keeping
them organized always and ready for use.
6. Instructional Techniques: These are ways by which you implement your learning
content. Tailoring your techniques to the subject, grade levels and nature of the learner is
important.
7. Communication: Consistent open lines of communication to all the stakeholders of the
school community will lead to better teacher-student teacher relationship.

elements for-effective-classroom-management
To implement these elements effectively, a classroom management plan must be designed. Each
teacher has its own unique style of management to meet class needs, although the same elements
are found consistently. For a classroom management plan to be successful, the students must
have a complete understanding of each of the guidelines. At the same time, teachers must follow
their plan to ensure that the learning environment is safe, friendly, secured, and non-threatening
whether in the classroom or in remote learning.

Writing My Learning / Lesson Plans
Lesson Plan / Learning Plan - This refers to the blueprint of the daily teaching and
learning activities. It is a step-by-step guide which helps teachers in maintaining the quality of
instruction. Lesson plans consist of essential components such as learning outcomes, learning
content resources and procedures. An effective lesson plan has a great impact on the teaching
learning process. It is a must that teachers plan their lessons effectively to ensure a successful
instructional experience. There are three types of lesson plans: detailed, semi detailed and brief.
Some schools design their own lesson plan template which includes their vision mission goals
and core values.
The Department of Education has provided templates for Detailed Lesson Plan (DLE Daily
Lesson. Log (DLL). This was done to institutionalize instructional planning which is the
teaching-learning process. Guidelines were formulated to assist teachers in planning organizing
and managing their lessons to meet the needs of the diverse learners.
Teachers must also keep in mind that stating the learning Outcomes, the three domains must be
considered (Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor). Outcomes that are specific, measurable,
attainable realistic and time-bound (SMART). The cognitive domain includes remembering,
understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating.
When writing lesson plans, the learning outcomes, activities, and assessment must be
constructively aligned. The instructional strategies use must help in the attainment of the learning
outcomes. The modes of assessment must determine if the outcomes were attained at the end of
the lesson.
