TITLE

6. ACTION RESEARCH
• What is an action research (AR)?
• It is a process of systematic, reflective inquiry
to improve educational practices or resolve
problems in any operating unit (i.e. school,
classroom, office)
DO 16. s.2017

7. ACTION RESEARCH
• What is the legal basis of conducting an AR?
• The Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001
(RA 9155) Chapter 1, Section 7 includes among
the responsibilities of DepEd across all
governance levels the undertaking of
“educational research and studies” that will
serve as one of the bases of necessary reforms
and policy development.

8. ACTION RESEARCH

non-teaching position in DepEd

12. ACTION RESEARCH
•How to make an acceptable title of an AR?
The title should include your objective and
the intervention you intend to utilize in the
research.
The intervention could be an adoption or
personal as long as it is validated.

13. ACTION RESEARCH
• Does the title describe what the study is all about?
• Does the title contain high specificity level?
• Is the title academically phrased and is not verbose?
• Is the title within the twelve (12) substantive word
requirement of the (APA)

14. ACTION RESEARCH
• The title should include your objective and the intervention
you intend to utilize in the research.
Example:
Improving the Learning Competency of Grade 8 Learners in

33. IV. PROPOSED
INNOVATION,
INTERVENTION, AND
STRATEGY

34. Intervention
• The action taken to improve a situation; it
addresses a certain problem/issue
• Adopted or original
Innovation
• A new method, idea, product, etc.

35. •If it is adopted, site the owner.
•If it is an innovation from the researcher, it
must be quality assured.
INTERVENTION/ INNOVATION
( Action Research)

36. •If it is adopted, its frequency of use must be
considered
•It must be devised by the researcher as an
innovation
•It must not be copied from the net( or from other
source); if it is, it must be altered so the researcher’s
touch can be felt

37. • The proposed intervention is ASPC Strategy which stands
for Analyse-Solve-Present- Critique Strategy. Basically, this
strategy is under collaborative learning whose main aim is
to help each member of the group attain understanding
and mastery of a particular learning material with the
guidance of the teacher.
• Generally, this strategy of teaching involves four major
steps namely: 1) analysis of error; 2) solution to the
problem; 3) presentation; and 40 critiquing.

38. •It must address the presented
predicament
•In paragraphs, discuss in detail the
intervention
•Discuss the way how it will be
implemented. Include variations if any.

39. • In the first step, the class will be divided into heterogeneous
groups wherein high-performing and low-performing students
are equally distributed among the groups. The main objective of
such grouping is for the high-performing students to help the
low-performing students in each group. Different problems with
erroneous solutions will be distributed for each group. Each
group will analyze the given problem specifically the error.
Members are going to brainstorm about the problem until such
time that they have already identified the error in the solution.
Example

40. • Once they have correctly identified the error in the
solution, each group is going to resolve the problem
making the necessary correction of the solution. Sharing
of valuable inputs and ideas in this part is crucial because
each member of the group should be able to explain the
solution on their own. This again calls for cooperative
learning among the members of each group.
• After which, in the third step, all outputs will be posted
on the wall in a circular manner. If time permits, all
groups will present their solution among the other
groups. Low-performing students are encouraged to
explain the solution so as to ensure understanding of the
lesson.

41. • When all the solutions have been presented ,
critiquing follows. The teacher then makes sure
that all the solutions are correct and all questions
were answered so as to ensure understanding of
the lesson. If all the members of each group can
already identify the errors and do the necessary
corrections after several examples, the teacher can
now give problems without solution to each
group. But this time, they are now going to solve
the problem on their own.

42. •Basically, the key feature of this strategy is
the collaboration of all the members of
the group to attain a common goal and
that is to learn the material while helping
the low-performing students understand
also the learning material. This strategy
then aims to promote cooperation and
teamwork among the members of the
group while learning and mastering the
material.

43. “Innovation survives only when
people believe in their own
ideas.”
Start believing!

- Who are the
participants
- Number of
participants

46. V. ACTION RESEARCH METHODS

49. V. ACTION RESEARCH METHODS
c. Data Gathering
methods
- State the process you
used ex. Survey, online
or via test questions (
Pretest-posttest)

50. V. ACTION RESEARCH METHODS
d. Ethical Standards
State what ethical guidelines will be used to ensure the
safety of the participants of a study, the public at large,
and the researcher himself/herself. This will allow the
research to be authentic and error-free and will allow the
researcher to gain credibility and support from the public.
Ensure that your research is plagiarism-free and also no
unverified data reaches the readers. Research ethics fill in
a sense of responsibility among researchers and make it
easy to fix responsibility in case of misconduct.

e. Data analysis plan
-State the statistical
tools to be used and
how the result will be
interpreted.
