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.

reflected in the increased post-test scores compared to the pre-test
scores.
Contextualized activity sheets are an effective tool for helping students

learning division skills.
The recommendation is that teachers incorporate contextualized

(1) Do you consider your proposed action research plan beneficial in coming up with an excellent CBAR? Justify.
Yes, the proposed action research plan is beneficial in coming up with excellent CBAR as it serves as the guide
in constructing CBAR. It provides a structured framework, guiding the researchers through each part, from identifying a
problem, in making research question and to collecting and analyzing data and reflecting on the findings.

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

approaches in mathematics education. By addressing this gap, the research will offer valuable
evidence-based recommendations for educators and curriculum developers striving to refine
instructional strategies and support student achievement in mathematics.

Part 3: Generation of Alternative Solution

Alternative solutions for addressing division performance issues include traditional instruction,
technology-based learning, cooperative learning, real-world problem solving, and contextualized activity
sheets. Traditional instruction focuses on procedural methods and practice problems, whereas technology-
based learning incorporates educational software and online games. Cooperative learning encourages
collaborative problem solving, while real-world scenarios are incorporated into division problems.
Contextualized activity sheets are the most promising solution, combining real-world applications with hands-
