Title and Author of the Action Research:
Improving Classroom Participation to Enhance Academic Performance
Key Components Entry from your Sample AR
OBSERVE Students` participation and academic performance in classroom teaching and
learning
REFLECT While carrying out this research, the researchers were satisfied that the
intervention ‘being approachable to all the students’ works well to have
more and active classroom participation which will yield outstanding
academic performance. The researcher used the intervention ‘being
approachable to all the students’ to find out how it helps for classroom
participation in the teaching and learning session. The data shows only 6
sample students participated without implementing aforementioned
intervention. After implementing selected intervention, the post data revealed
that the number of active participants increased drastically to 25. Through
this data, the researcher proved that intervention ‘being approachable to
all the students’ is working well in teaching and learning session to have active
classroom participation. The researched data shows that there is correlation
between classroom participation and academic performance. When the
participation was less, their academic performance was also less. For
instance, when there were 6 participants during the lesson, its pretest result
has mean of 4.62. Later, when the participants increased to 25, its mean was
increased to 7.3. Therefore, this data proves that there is correlation between
classroom participation and academic performance. This action research
helped the researchers to understand and apply ‘being approachable to all the
students’ during the teaching and learning session. The researchers were
confident that being approachable to all the students would inspire the
students to participate more in the teaching and learning session. This would
ultimately help to achieve high academic performance of the students. Thus,
the researchers believe that being approachable to all the students is
necessary as a teacher to have his or her students’ active participation
and high academic performance. Conclusion The followings are the findings
of this action research;  The number of participants before intervention
‘being approachable to the students’ was 6.  The pretest result’s mean score
was 4.62 and standard deviation was 2.49.
PLAN The researchers have adopted quantitative data collection method. The
data has been gathered through the survey questionnaires and class test.
After collecting the data, the descriptive analysis is used in order to explain

the quantitative data using frequencies, mean, percentage, and standard

deviation to conclude the findings. This action research has used the
experimental design as its purpose was to find the improvement in classroom
participation and its relationship to the academic performance.
ACT After the collection of baseline data, the researcher implemented the
intervention ‘being approachable to all the students’ for a month. The
teacher’s friendly nature and approachability influenced students’
participation to the great extent. Students are more open to speak and share if
the teacher is amicable which can create conducive environment for
more classroom participation. Teachers’ positive reinforcement will be a key
to encourage students to participate in the class. After the intervention, the
researcher conducted the class test to find the effectiveness of the
selected intervention.
EVALUATE Based on the above findings, the followings are the conclusions;
 The intervention ‘being approachable to all the students’ helps to
have more classroom participation in teaching and learning session.
 When the classroom participation is low, their academic performance
too is low.
 When the classroom participation is high, their academic performance
is also high.
 The students’ classroom participation directly affects their academic
performance.
 The students participate more when they are reinforced.
 The students like to participate when the teachers are approachable
to them.
 The students don’t participate in the class when the teacher is
not approachable and unfamiliar.
 The teachers can improve students’ participation by being
approachable to all the students.
MODIFY Based on the above findings and conclusions, the following recommendations
are suggested;
 All the teachers need to be approachable to the students.  Facial
expression and mood of the concern teacher affects the
students’ classroom participation.
 To have effective classroom participation the teachers need to
reinforce the students’ responses.
 This action research should be continued.

Reflect

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

Indeed, conducting Action Research is worth doing especially for a future educator. This
action Research can be use as basis for identifying possible teaching and learning pedagogies of
learners and instructors. This can significantly support professional needs of a teacher inside a
learning space specifically in teaching development and classroom management. This study can help
the instructors in enhancing their problem- solving skills and pressing issues inside a learning
environment.

How can AR be useful for every classroom teacher?

By means of Action Research, teachers will have the chance to help students In terms of
abstract topics and research inclined curriculum. Since these studies provide different tools and
design, teachers will have the opportunity to impart different skill, stimulate life experiences and
motivate students to pursue new academic interest.
