Activity 1 – Writing an Action Research Plan

FIELD STUDY 2

Group No.: Wella U. de Guzman

Group Members:
Course, Year and Section IV BSE Science

Name of FS Mentor Dr. Katherine V. Queroda

Date December 5, 2023

At the end of this learning activity, the FS students should be able to:
1. recall the different parts of an action research
2. prepare and write an action research plan
3. submit the proposed action research plan

In your Field Study 1, you have learned that action research is a dynamic process that is categorized under
applied research. It is focused on solving practitioners’ local problems wherein an action plan plays a significant role in the
execution of such work (Johnson & Christensen, 2020). Yes, you heard and read it right - for a teacher’s life, conducting
action research is an advocacy since the primary purpose of it is to improve school practices and solve classroom-based
teaching and learning related issues to find applicable ways and means to address existing or present issue that usually
bother practitioners’ execution of their job. So, let us now put into practice the theories that you have learned by preparing
an action plan that will serve as your guide and frame of reference in doing Classroom-Based Action Research (CBAR).

Recall the different parts of the action research, then put into practice the ideas/ knowledge you have learned. You can
enrich your knowledge on how you go about preparing your action research plan by watching “YouTube”, surfing credible
online website, browsing and reading vital sources, eBooks, books, journals and research publications. Please observe
the following: (1) etiquette in doing activities; (2) proper acknowledgement of references and sources; and (3) intellectual
property rights.

Directions: Below are the parts of an action research. Prepare your research plan by describing what you will do to
come up with an excellent classroom-based action research.

Plan Execution

Directions: Below is the list of the parts of an action research. After preparing your action research plan, the next step is to carry
out your plan. Prepare the different parts of your CBAR based on what you have planned. Focus only on the
indicated parts. Other parts not included will be done/ accomplished during the Internship period. The preliminaries
and other parts will be included in your final write up.

Part 1: Introduction

Part 2: Problem Identification

Part 3: Generation of Alternative Solution

Using
FIELDone adjective,
STUDY 2 describe your experience as a group in accomplishing the activity in general and in writing
the four parts, from introduction to the plan of action, of your classroom-based action research in particular. Why
did you choose that adjective?

Efficient.

I chose the word "efficient" to describe my group's experience completing the activity and writing the
four parts of our classroom-based action research. Throughout the process, our team worked efficiently and
effectively, making the best use of our time, resources, and efforts. We defined clear roles and responsibilities,
communicated effectively, and shared a commitment to meeting deadlines.

The importance of efficiency in ensuring the effective completion of the research project cannot be
overstated. We optimized our process by utilizing available tools and technologies to conduct research, collect
data, and collaborate on writing the various sections. This method allowed us to stay focused, avoid unnecessarily
long delays, and ensure that every aspect of the research was carried out correctly.

Efficiency was also important in developing the introduction and action plan. We did our best to condense
our ideas and present them in an organized and understandable manner. We increased the quality of our work
while minimizing any possible interruptions or distractions that could have occurred during the process by
prioritizing efficiency.

The adjective "efficient" precisely describes our group's ability to work productively and meet our goals
on time, ensuring the effective execution of our classroom-based action research.
