REFLECTION

Although I graduated as a BSED GenScie in the college of education I only have


a couple months of experience in teaching it was during my OJT, those theories and
applications in literature I had learned offered me little in the way of keeping my
former students engaged or gauging how many of my lessons led to serious learning
because at that time I didn’t realized their meaning and importance in my future
teaching. However, my attitude changed when I have accumulated and learned from
the teaching experiences of the other teacher which are my classmates during my
Master’s degree program. I wanted to know more about the effective teaching and
learning process. This is the main reason for taking this course, but I still feel the
need to apply my learning to my teaching to test the usefulness of those theories
especially in the new normal. Action research provides an opportunity to implement
my learning into my teaching practice. In addition, action research gives me a
chance to reflect on my own practices and the proficiencies of my students with an
eye toward what works and what doesn’t. Thus, action research contributes to the
development of my knowledge and skills about teaching and learning.

During the Webicon seminar Dr. Fermin presentation really gives me a motivation
and knowledge about his researches, one of the basic principles of action research
is that researcher need others’ ideas for stimulation and depend on other people’s
perspectives to enrich one’s own. In this sense, the presentations that were made
and will be made in our course allow us to learn from watching other people’s
experiences and share my experience with other teachers. The presentations offered
me an insight into my own future action research and helped me to organize my
research project.

The most interesting thing in the presentations was the research topics that the
speaker presented are really good. Those topics made me think about the purpose
of doing action research. Obviously, action research is used as a professional
development. However, as a ‘science’ teacher, I need to focus my research on the
effective way of ‘science’ teaching and learning process. Every teacher has a
problem of improving one’s teaching practice especially in the pandemic times, but
particularly these days when students tend to avoid taking science courses, the role
of science teachers is critical in motivating their students to want to know more about
science and helping their students build understanding of science knowledge.
Therefore, I need to choose a topic with regard to the improvement in science
education. What is more, another purpose of action research is to bridge the gap
between theory and practice.
