Theme: Developing scientific attitude among children
Sub-theme: Honesty
Topic: Developing honesty among students of 4th grade by giving them group task
Name of the School (where the action research was conducted):
School Name…...
Overall background of the participants of the project; area / Area: (socio-economic
status, occupation / profession – earning trends of majority of the parents, literacy
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

rate, academic quality, and any other special trait of the community where the Area
is situated).
This action research was conducted in School Name…..
School Background:
In general the structure of school was huge and lovely. The school had lovely playground
and parking. Classes are better in condition. The environment of school was great, better
for learning and secure for children.
Participants Background:
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

The participants of study were (4th) grade children and their teachers who were enrolled
in School Name…... I selected (4th) grade children and their teachers which are
considered in total 32 members.
Socio Economic Status:
Socioeconomic status is the social standing or class of an individual or group. It is often
measured as a combination of education, income and occupation. Examinations
of socioeconomic status often reveal inequities in access to resources, plus issues related
to privilege, power and control. Most of peoples from this area are Govt. employee but
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

some of them are shopkeeper or work in a private offices. Most of parents do not afford
children education due to their family expenses and their low income but some parents
support their children at higher level in well reputed universities. But due to the lack of
higher educational institute and low income of their parents, more than 60% children stop
their education after matriculation. Overall the financial status of this area is not good.
Occupation & Earning Trend:
Parents with Govt. jobs and small businessman are in a better condition to help and
support their children educationally, mentally and profoundly. However, Parents with
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

low income because of expenses and low salaries issues can't give satisfactory to up level
their children education. The control of the Parents in this research from this area is
normal. A part of the Parents are not monetarily so good. The children who Parents with
government jobs are more verified and their family finds a sense of contentment
moderately contrasted with the individuals who work in private association. They are
consistently in dissatisfaction. Due to low earning trend of this area, the children face a
great deal of difficulties both at home and school, which block them from taking an
interest completely in classroom exercises. In present some parents drop their children at
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

different shop for learning work and for earning but today due to free education in
Pakistan more than 80% children go to school till then matriculation.
Literacy Rate:
In 2020, City Name’s literacy rate of 66% for females was noticeably lower than the
79% for males.
Q.1 Why did you select this specific sub-theme and topic? Relate it to your
experience / problem in your classroom / institution.
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

I am a trainee teacher by Aiou and I selected school Name for my research project. As
action research was totally based on local level. I choose School Name for my action
research I choose my research topic “Developing honesty among students of 4th grade
by giving them group task” Researcher being a teacher lot of experience about different
school and collages level but research analyses one problem of lack of honesty
development of a child at 4th level, By understanding and implementing group
discussion or group task among students for honesty development of students at
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

primary class can perform better in their classroom and its positive impact in their
socio-emotional development and educational career.
I selected this topic and sub theme topic to point out and investigate that honesty
development among students through group discussion or group task is ignored in our
school system, teachers are not paying practical attention to address this issue , Although
it is an important and an integral part of the learning process. Honesty is an essential part
of any student-centered classroom. Honesty is being truthful and sincere in one’s dealing
with others. values influence education process. This is partly because education as a
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

process involves transmission of values that are worthwhile to the learners. At the same
time values are part of the contents of education. Truthfulness is one of the powerful
forces that hold together all forms of relationship among mankind. It brings
understanding within a system a nation and among individuals, it is one of the major
attributes of integrity and without it, distrust gives way to sharp misunderstanding,
quarrels, conflicts crisis in the society, many things go wrong in any human environment
when people fail to be honest in their dealings. The value of honesty is also related to
one’s action and inaction including when one cheats in a test or lies. These are acts and
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

examples of dishonesty in Pakistan school settings and the society. Honesty is a virtue of
a patriot and the best policy for nation building that a nation will develop fast when her
citizens are honest and sincere. Honesty helps in improving relationship and leads to
peace and harmony in the society. School should teach patriotic values to the students to
help develop patriotic citizens in the society. Dishonesty is synonymous with being
artificial and untrustworthy-negative qualities that will hold one back from reaching
his/her full potential. Honesty is more than just accurately reporting facts. It includes
what one say and what was not said, advice people to always be sincere, Admit when
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

they are wrong and not to be covetous. Honesty has a lot of benefits which includes
happiness, peace of mind, respect from people among you, promotion of Good-will
around you, makes the world a better place, move one closer to his/her divine purpose in
life and helps one to discharge his/her religious responsibilities, dishonesty brings chaos,
conflict, shame, corruption and evil in the society. It is seen in examination malpractice,
lying, cheating and fraudulent practices. Encourages teachers to assist learners to
inculcate the value of honesty through methods such as storytelling and role-playing and
group discussion.
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

Q.2 What was your discussion with your colleague / friend / senior teacher or
supervisor regarding the problem?
After choosing this theme, I discussed this topic with my teachers, friends and supervisor.
Discussion with Supervisor:
My supervisor pointed out that the Pakistan like many other societies in Asia Pacific is a
society that was known for high regards for values. Many aspects of the lives of Pakistan
are guided by social values. Today, one of the major problems facing Pakistan society is
the high disregard for many aspects of social value. One of the values suspected to be
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

affected is honesty which has been a very high value in Pakistan society. Today lies for
development of honesty and discipline among students in school name example are not
regarded as serious social offences as it was the case. Things which can be said not to be
the case are consciously said by people with the desire to deceive. This abounds even in
the political life of people including Pakistan.
Discussion with Teacher:
My teacher told me that from the devaluation of the value of honesty in social lives
today, it was suspected by the researchers that many are no longer disciplined in their
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

social actions. If this goes on unchecked there will be a serious setback on positive social
lives and relationship among people in human society. Aspects such as communication
and businesses will be seriously affected negatively.
The negative impact of poor level of respect for honesty in human society has impacted
negatively too on discipline among many. The researchers are of the opinion that learners
at the primary school level should be more intensely assisted to inculcate the value of
honesty as an aspect of discipline in life. The study then sought to answer the question if
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

inculcation of the value of honesty among primary school students can assist them to
develop a life of discipline.
Discussion with Friends:
One of my friend pointed that truthfulness is one of the powerful forces that hold together
all forms of relationship among mankind. It brings understanding within a system a
nation and among individuals, it is one of the major attributes of integrity and without it,
distrust gives way to sharp misunderstanding, quarrels, conflicts crisis in the society, He
asserts that many things go wrong in any human environment when people fail to be
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

honest in their dealings. According to him, the value of honesty is also related to one’s
action and inaction including when one cheats in a test or lies. These are acts and
examples of dishonesty in Pakistan school settings and the society.
Q.3 What did you find about the problem in the existing literature (books /
articles / websites)?
Literature Review
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

Honesty is part of the personality in psychology. Initially around the 1980s to the
beginning of the 20th century, what was known in the description of personality was the
big five personalities that mentioned these five factors to be very important and could
describe differences average among humans. Then the question arises from the feeling
that there are less complete in the discussion of big five personalities, namely honesty.
Therefore, honesty is called the sixth personality (Ma_G_et_all_2019).
Honesty is being truthful and sincere in one’s dealing with others. According to Ibia &
Ette (2011) and Obot (2015) values influence education process. This is partly because
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

education as a process involves transmission of values that are worthwhile to the learners.
At the same time values are part of the contents of education. For Ebere (2011)
truthfulness is one of the powerful forces that hold together all forms of relationship
among mankind. It brings understanding within a system a nation and among individuals,
it is one of the major attributes of integrity and without it, distrust gives way to sharp
misunderstanding, quarrels, conflicts crisis in the society, He asserts that many things go
wrong in any human environment when people fail to be honest in their dealings.
According to Adams (2012), the value of honesty is also related to one’s action and
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

inaction including when one cheats in a test or lies. These are acts and examples of
dishonesty in Nigerian school settings and the society.
Egbe (2005) states that honesty is a virtue of a patriot and the best policy for nation
building that a nation will develop fast when her citizens are honest and sincere. He
contends that honesty helps in improving relationship and leads to peace and harmony in
the society. He advocates that the school should teach patriotic values to the students to
help develop patriotic citizens in the society.
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

Chissaag (2015), warned against dishonesty because dishonesty is synonymous with
being artificial and untrustworthy-negative qualities that will hold one back from
reaching his/her full potential. On his part, Lipson (2004) believes that honesty is more
than just accurately reporting facts. It includes what one say and what was not said, He
advice people to always be sincere, Admit when they are wrong and not to be covetous.
Honesty according to Nag pal (2013) has a lot of benefits which includes happiness,
peace of mind, respect from people among you, promotion of Good-will around you,
makes the world a better place, move one closer to his/her divine purpose in life and
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

helps one to discharge his/her religious responsibilities, Huitt (2004) assert that
dishonesty brings chaos, conflict, shame, corruption and evil in the society. It is seen in
examination malpractice, lying, cheating and fraudulent practices, He encourages
teachers to assist learners to inculcate the value of honesty through methods such as
storytelling and role-playing.
The honesty meaning in psychology studies has diverse views. Seligman and Peterson, as
psychologists and initiators of positive psychology, argue that honesty is not only limited
to the technical meaning of saying the truth, but honesty is also a strength of character
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

accompanied by responsibility for how someone manages feelings and keeps what he
does to compatible with what he has chosen (Shryack_Steger_and_Krueger_2010).
Meanwhile, Gerlach explained that some experiences sometimes teach that honesty can
cause physical or emotional pain such as shame, guilt, rejection, fear, or loss
(Gerlach_2015). But many researchers say honesty provides true happiness for the culprit
(Eijkholt_M_and_Sparling_2019; Lopes_and_Shane_2019).
Anita E. Kelly, a Western Psychologist from Notre Dame University associated honesty
with health. According to him, Americans lie 1-2 times a day or 11 times a week and they
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

often involved in health problems. Therefore, she conducted a study of 110 people in
America by making a control group and an experimental group (No-lie group). The
results of his research prove that participants experience improved health, especially
reduced headaches, sore throat, tension, and anxiety. In addition to experiencing their
health improvements that do not lie also experience improvements in interpersonal
relationships with others (Kelly_A_E_and_Wang_L_2012). With the result that, honest
leads the people to goodness and gives mental health. Thus this study also shows that
dishonesty can be reduced or even abolished in human life.
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

The Other standpoint on honesty can be found in the results of research conducted by
Staats (Staats_Hupp_and_Wallace_2008) and Silvia (Silvia_et_all_2011). Staats
conducted experiments on several minority students who did not carry out academic
fraud at school. The two experiments concluded that students who could be honest were
those who had souls of heroism and courage in their life. The students were competent to
face a challenge and strong to get risks. Silvia argues that honestly had a relationship with
creativity. Therefore, these two traits can be developed to improve honesty in students.
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

The opinions of the researchers show that honesty has a close relationship with the
courageous nature of facing reality and having the nature of empathy and knowing which
are good and what are not. Likewise, in positive psychology, honesty is associated with
courageous Emotional Strengths. Milahy mentions in his book that honestly has the
meaning of courage, which is the courage to express the truth, behave not pretend and be
responsible for whatever happens (Mihaly_Csikszentmihalyi_2006). The last meaning of
honesty is close to assertiveness
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

(Fuspita_Susanti_and_Putri_2018). So, honesty has a positive effect on building a social
relationship.

goal or to complete a task in the most effective and efficient way. This concept is seen
within the greater framework of a team, which is a group of interdependent individuals
who work together towards a common goal.
Role-Play:
In a role-play, students are provided with facts about a situation into which they are then
inserted for a brief, simulated interaction. The scenario may be fictional or based on an
actual incident. To be effective, a role-play scenario should have sufficient detail to
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

challenge and engage the students, it should contain an underlying problem that needs to
be addressed, and it should appeal to students’ imaginations.

0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739
 What is role of teacher as role models for students to develop habit of honesty?
Q.6 Who were the participants in your project?
The targeted population was students enrolled in 4th class of School Name….. However,
in this interview, thirty-two (32) students, taking a related course, were selected in a
School Name as a sample while considering the research control and validity of this
study. This sample included students of the two major medium (English Medium and
Urdu Medium). These participants might generally represent the students in 4th class.
The honesty were developed on the basis of a series of research regarding group

discussion identification and improvement for 4th class students. This curriculum
purported to Developing honesty among students of 4th grade by giving them group
task and depositions through speculating about academic learning and life issue
discussion.
Q.7 How did you try to solve the problem?
Method of the study:
As the researcher selected the theme for study that was related to own experiences and
problems faced by own students. Then the topic was selected to study on it. The
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

researcher studied literature and researches conducted before relevant to Developing
honesty among students of 4th grade by giving them group task. The researcher also
wrote objectives that the researcher wanted to achieve and apply in my teaching and
classroom.
The design of research used by the researcher in this study is classroom action research.
According to Harmer, action research is the name given to a series of procedures teachers
can engage in, either because they wish to improve aspects of their teaching, or because
they wish to evaluate the success of certain activities and procedures. Greenwald (2006),
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

stated that action research is about the systematic study of attempts to improve
educational practice by group of participants by means of their own practical action and
by means of their own reflection upon the effects of those actions.
There are various definitions of action research stated by some experts. As quoted by
Harrop, (2003:44) gives the definition of action research as: Action research is a form of
self-reflective inquiry undertaken by participators in a social situation (including
education) in order to improve the sense of honesty and justice of (a) their own social or
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

educational practice, (b)their understanding of these practices and (c) the situation in
which practices are carried out.
From all the definitions above, the researcher concluded that classroom action research is
a kind of research, which can be done by teacher, researcher, and teacher with his or her
colleague, etc. with involves a group of students to improve teaching and learning
process or to enhance the understanding of the students to the lesson.
To get deeper understanding about the procedure of this action research, the detail
explanation is as follows:
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

1.Identifying the problem
The researcher as the student teacher in this research identifies the problem.
2.Carrying out the real action research
In this step, the researcher implements the activities and collect data from students by
using interview.
3.Reflecting
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

After carrying out the whole process, the researcher evaluated the process and the result
of the students’ responses. The data of each step was analyzed and calculated using
percentage formulas to reach the goal which has been sated before.
The application of the project took place during Feb 2022 to March 2022. Once the
researcher received total consent from school authorities, the research study was carried
out between 20 Feb, 2022 to 10 March, 2022. In the first day researcher meet the
principal of school and got permission letter, in next two days according to availability of
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

teachers and students, interviews were conducted with them in their free periods of 40
minutes.
The researcher referred to many resources in designing the questions and then reviewed
the related literature, checked the opinion of juries, supervisors and experienced teachers.
The researcher designed the interview with different types of questions which were based
on questioning method/techniques.
Research questions presents the benefits and suggestions related to Developing honesty
among students of 4th grade by giving them group task. In getting the data, the writer
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

used interview method in order to know what the teachers’ perceptions are. The
interviews for the teachers consists of 3 open ended questions and 3 for students.
Two procedures were used to validate the data in this study. The first was the
involvement of the researcher in the research including preparation of the study, data
collection, data analysis, and data interpretation. The second was triangulation. In this
case, the researcher compared the data taken from interview with direct observation.
A triangulation was done to verify the data or information that the writer obtained from
the respondents by looking at the source of data repeatedly to get the same conclusion. In
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

terms of this, Hopkins (2003) contends that technique of triangulation can increase the
validity of a category in verifying data.
To support the data of interview to be more valid, the writer clarified every teacher’s
answer and get reliable data, the writer wrote the result of interview as immediate as
possible, not more than one day after the interview. The researcher did not use tape
recorder to avoid the impression of too formal interview to the respondents.
Q.8 What kind of instrument was used to collect the data? How was the
instrument developed?
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

Research Instrument:
An interview is a research instrument consisting of a series of questions asked verbally
for the purpose of gathering information from respondents. However, a problem with
interview is that respondents may lie due to social desirability. Most people want to
present a positive image of them and so may lie or bend the truth to look good. Although,
interviews have advantages over some other types of surveys in that they are cheap, do
not require as much effort from the questioner as written or telephone surveys, and often
have standardized answers that make it simple to compile data.
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

Therefore, research used interview method to collect students’ and teachers' responses.
Designing of the interview involved many steps:
First step was getting acquainted with the subject, making a literature review, deciding on
objectives, formulating a hypothesis, and defining the main information needed to test the
hypothesis.
After that it was determined how the information defined in step one should be analyzed.
The plan of analysis contained the measures of association and the statistical tests that
intended to use. In addition, the researcher designed dummy tables with the information
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

of interest. The plan of analysis helped me to determine which type of results this study
wanted to obtain.
From the plan of analysis, made a list of the information needed to collect from
participants. In this step the researcher determined the type and format of variables
needed and started designing different parts of the interview questions using this list of
needed information.
Insuring a smooth flow from one topic to the next one to complete interview. After
completion, it was verified that each question answers to any of the objectives and all of
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

my objectives are covered by the questions asked, also deleted questions that were not
directly related to my objectives. Each question was made clear, unambiguous, simple
and short.
Q.9 What were the findings and conclusion?
I used interview to get students’ responses towards the improvement of honesty through
group discussion or group task. The results are shown below. Total students in this
questionnaire were 32. In this research researcher used some statements to get data
according to research objectives.
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

The first statement, “honesty motivate them in learning”. This statement was used to
know whether the honesty improved students’ learning. There were 32 respondents who
gave their opinion. It showed that 15.62 % of the students were very motivated for
learning by honesty. It showed that 68.75% of the students were motivated for learning
using honesty. The second statement is “honesty helping them to solving problems in
different areas”. So, about 25 % of the students were really helped by the use of honesty
to solve problems in different areas. It showed that 75 % of the students were helped by
honesty to solve problem in different areas of life. The third statement shows that there
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

were 21.88 % of the students who thought that they were able to solve problems in
education by using the honesty. There were 71.88 % of the students could learning
through honesty. The next statement concluded that 6.25 % of the students could clearly
understand with the steps used in honesty for academic purposes. So, 78.12 % of the
students agreed that the steps in honesty for academic purposes were understandable for
them. The next statement shows that more than 80 % of the students could get the
Scientific Attitude from honesty that would be used as the basic for them to develop and
learning the lesson. The sixth statement will show there were still 4 students who were
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

not able to develop their Science concept. The last statement showed so, there were more
than 70 % of the students agreed that honesty effects the life of students.
Discussion:
From the result above, it can be seen that more than 50 % of the students responded that
honesty motivated them in learnings. The use of honesty was effective to motivate the
students, helping them to solving problems of life in different areas. After learned using

Q.11 How do you feel about this practice? What have you learnt?
I am feeling very satisfied and glad after my research. It was quite interesting and
Conflict management experience. Now I am confident after this research. Now I am able
to do these all sorts of such tasks.im feeling myself as confident, glad and learnt person. I
learnt a lot of new things which I never learnt in my previous life. For example when I
talked with senior Teachers and expert people I learnt a lot of skills of writing. When i
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

taught the children then me counsel dictionary and great writers, businessmen and novels
.These all things increased my Conflict management also showed them video lesson of
some expert and critical writers to teach them. It also helped me to learn new things. This
practice also improved my writing skills too.
I also learnt how to write effectively and accurately I have improved my English
grimmer. My work has been improved. I learnt new methods of improving writing. I
learnt how to write stories in appropriate way. Overall it helped me to develop new
writing skills, new way of teaching writing skills. So I am glad to say that it was
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

unforgettable experience of my life. First of all most of us numb the uncomfortable
emotions, but unknowingly when we do this research we can also end up numbing our
other emotions like joy, peace, happiness, and pleasure. We can’t fully have one without
the other.
The first step is always awareness, because once we have awareness we can start to do
something about it. Awareness alone won’t help us stop using Conflict management.
Awareness after the fact is what I’m talking about here. Starting anything new and trying
to create a habit out of it takes work and time. This is one of the reasons I love
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

researching and attending classes as it’s basically a scheduled time in the day, where I
have no other distractions, to just be in my routine and notice how I’m feeling. That being
said I rarely make it to a class once a week these days, so I do have to find simple and
quick ways to connect.
Q.12 What has it added to your professional skills as a teacher?
It added a lot of new skills in my teaching. It improved my way of teaching. For example
when I talked with senior Teachers and expert people I learnt a lot of skills of Science
concept.

Professional Development:
In this modern, digital age, Teachers need to be flexible and be able to adapt to whatever
is thrown their way. New technologies are developed every day that can change the way
students learn, and the way Teachers teach. Likewise, administrators are changing and
updating expectations and learning standards. Being able to adapt is a skill that every
modern teacher must have. If it’s being able to adapt to the way students learn, the
behavior their classroom exhibits, or their lesson plans, it is a definitely a trait that is a
must-have.
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

Patience
This is likely the single most important skill. Kids these days are stubborn, and many lack
the inherent respect for authority that we were taught at a young age. Spending a single
day in a room full of raucous teenagers is enough to send any human being to the Looney
bin, which is why every good teacher needs patience in order to find a way to work with
his students and earn their respect.
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

Adaptability
Different kids learn in different ways, and some lessons need unique teaching tools. Good
Teachers know how to adapt their lesson plan to their students, so that all the kids learn
optimally. This trait can take some experience and practice in a classroom setting, so give
it time.
Imagination
Whether you teach high Area chemistry or kindergarten, nothing is a more effective tool
than using your imagination to create new and motivation ways for your students to learn.
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

You may be inspired by the work of another teacher, mentor or a TV commercial - it
doesn't matter. All that matters is that you take the initiative to find new ways for your
kids to learn the material.
Teamwork
Teachers could have a hard time without a wide variety of support staff around them. If
you feel alone, your Area principal, administrative staff, parent-teacher committee, and
more are often available to provide you help. By working as a team, you may have an
easier time increasing your students' ability to learn and have fun.
0314-4646739 0336-4646739 0332-4646739

Risk Taking
Sometimes to get the big reward, you may need to take a risk. Being a teacher is about
finding a way to get kids to learn, and sometimes these new learning methods can be
risky. Stick to it and you'll soon find that others are following your teaching example.
Q.13 List the works you cited in your project (follow the APA manual – 6th
Edition).
