Discussant: Ms. Vilma Villarante
Lady of the Ceremony: Ms. Jessica G. Leonardo
 Recap was given by Mrs. Amihan C. Grande.
 Ms. Vilma Villarante greeted everyone which she mentioned the program should never be shortened. She
gave a puzzle. She gave the objectives of today’s program. One of which is to:
Understand the need for action research and its importance to improve the performance of learners;
Identify the difference between basic research and action research;
 The theme talks about the student learning gap caused by the pandemic where competencies are non-
negotiable.
 The first step is to identify learning gaps and be able to identify those learning gaps where students
struggle to learn. She enumerated and explained the core types of learning gaps that students experience:
1. Knowledge gaps (student may not be familiar or does not know certain terminologies in class) ; 2. Skill
gaps (learner does not know how a tool is used); 3. Communication gaps (language factor); 4.
Environment gaps (teacher factor)
 There is a strong need for research and innovation to bridge learning gaps and recover learning losses.
 She defined action research as the systematic study of classroom and school activity with the aim of
improving teachers’ learning.
 She presented the Action Research cycle.
 One action research is individual teacher research which focuses on a single issue in the classroom which
seek solutions to classroom problems in management, instructional strategies, use of materials or student
learning.
 Another is the Collaborative Research where two or more teachers study the same issue which may
involve a single classroom or a common problem shared by classrooms.
 Basic Research is used to develop pedagogical theories that explain teaching and learning behaviors in
the classroom.
 Action Research is a systematic, reflective inquiry to improve educational practices or resolve problems
in any operating unit.
 She presented the difference between basic research and action research.
 She explained about the description of each part of research. Title Page should make a strong statement.
Introduction in Basic Research is an explanation of circumstances which the researcher encountered in
the problem he is studying.
 She mentioned to avoid the use of jargons or special or technical vocabulary in constructing the research
questions.
 What information to collect, what to use, sources should be readily available, thus, methods of data
collection which are so many were presented.

8.  Action research also aims innovation, intervention (giving an acronym to a program/project), strategies
(structure, system, methods, techniques, etc.)
 She presented examples of topics in action research based on BERA (Basic Education Research Agenda):
Access(Enrollment), Quality, Clinic and Guidance programs, governance, child protection, teaching and
learning and many others. She also presented topic in BE-LCP (Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan).
