Excellent! Let us see how can we assist and learn at the same time.
Suppose, the problem you have spotted is: COMPREHENSION.
How can you assist your mentor, after knowing that the learners have difficulty in
comprehension?

Make a Choice for your ACTION

A. Conduct a tutorial lesson.
B. Show video lesson to help enhance comprehension.
C. Make a learning task to develop comprehension.

Suppose you chose letter A. Conduct a tutorial. So you have identified the SOLUTION
that matches the PROBLEM which is Difficulty in Comprehension.

The Problem is: The Action is:

Difficulty in Comprehension Conduct a Tutorial

of
Can you also choose letter B. Show video lesson as a SOLUTION for the same
PROBLEM? Explain
The Problem is: The Action is:

Difficulty in Comprehension Conduct a Tutorial

of

What about letter C as a SOLUTION for the same PROBLEM? Why?

The Problem is: The Action is:

Difficulty in Comprehension Conduct a Tutorial

of

Interesting, isn’t it? Now you can assist your mentor by identifying observed problems in
the class and suggest actions to be done.

Notice

What have you notice of the problem identified above? Can there be more than one
solution to the problem? Explain.

A creative and innovative teacher can find one or more than one problem than a
solution or answer to the same problem. Each solution matches with the problem. The
more solutions identified to choose from, the better for an action researcher.

Analyze
Let us try to look into the following scenarios in the daily life of a teacher. This scenario
might also be similar to the class you have observed and noticed.

Scenario A: Miss Fely is a grade four teacher in a typical elementary school. She has
forty learners in her class. One half of them cannot classify animals into vertebrates and
invertebrates. She has been repeating the same lesson for two weeks, yet no progress
was observed. The situation has been bothering Miss Fely.

 Can you identify, Miss Fely’s problem?

 Can you find a solution to solve her problem? Give your two suggestions.
a.
b.
 What solution can solve Miss Fely’s problem?
How?
Are they matched with the problem?

Scenario B: Sir Ryan teaches in a disadvantaged urban community. Most of his learners
come from families that are disrupted, either with single parents or with their guardians
who stand only as parents. They are deprived of the necessary food, clothing and
shelter.

 Can you identify the most teaching-learning problem/s in the class of sir
Ryan?
a.
b.
 Can you propose a solution to solve one of the problems that you have
identified?

Reflect

After reading the two scenarios given above, how would identifying problematic
situations and finding solutions to these problems help you to become a better teacher?

Prompts
Using any one example of problems in this activity, answer the AR prompts that follow:
 OBSERVE
What problematic situations prevails in the classroom?

REFLECT
What changes do you want to achieve?

PLAN
What strategies will you use to improve the situation?
ACT
What should be the title of your Action Research should you conduct the
study?

Add: Solutions/ actions

Check for Mastery

Here are some problematic situations in the teaching-learning environment as

observed and experienced by the teachers. Match the problems listed in Column A with
corresponding probable solutions in Column B. You any use the letter once, more than
once or not at all.

___1. Connectivity for On-line learning A. Rearrange classroom setting
___2. Disruptive Classroom behavior B. Maximize use of varied instructional
materials
___3. Poor interest and motivation C. Regular parent-teachers circles
___4. Parental non-violent D. Use of reward
___5. At risk-students E. Group studies and Study Buddies
F. Use of Flexible Learning
G. Silent Reading Exercises
