Outlined of an Action Research

Title: Fostering Equity and Inclusion in Mainstream Education

l. Context and Rationale

The issue addressed in this action research is the challenge of creating truly inclusive learning
environments within mainstream schools. The research is important because many classrooms still
struggle to meet the diverse needs of students, particularly those with disabilities or different learning
styles. Despite efforts to foster inclusivity, students with learning challenges often experience
disengagement and exclusion, which affects their academic success and emotional well-being. This study
seeks to identify and address these gaps by exploring effective methods to ensure all students have
equal access to quality education in a mainstream classroom.

ll. Action Research Question

The central question guiding this study is: "How can the implementation of differentiated teaching
strategies improve the engagement and learning outcomes of students with diverse needs in
mainstream classrooms?" This question will focus on identifying ways to adapt teaching methods to
better serve a variety of learning styles and abilities, aiming for higher student participation and
achievement.

lll. Proposed Innovation, Intervention, Strategy

The proposed intervention is the implementation of differentiated instruction strategies, including


personalized learning plans, flexible groupings, and the use of assistive technologies. These strategies
are intended to address the varying academic levels, learning preferences, and needs of students. By
incorporating technology and collaborative learning, the intervention will create an inclusive
environment that allows for more individualized support, ultimately aiming to increase student
engagement and reduce educational barriers.

lV. Action Research Methods

a. Participants/Other Sources of Data The participants in this study will include a diverse group of
students from a Grade 6 mainstream classroom, as well as their teachers. In addition to student data,
input from school administrators and feedback from parents will also be gathered to provide a holistic
view of the intervention’s impact.
b. Data Gathering Methods Data will be collected using a combination of qualitative and quantitative
methods: Surveys: To gather feedback from students, teachers, and parents on the perceived
effectiveness of the differentiated strategies. Observations: Classroom observations to assess student
engagement, participation, and interactions in response to the new teaching methods.
c. Data Analysis Plan The data will be analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively
Qualitative data (from interviews and observations) will be analyzed using thematic analysis to identify
recurring patterns and themes related to student engagement, participation, and academic progress.
Quantitative data (from surveys and assessments) will be analyzed using statistical methods to measure
any significant changes in student performance and attitudes before and after the intervention.

V. Action Research Work Plan

Develop lesson plans and teaching materials that integrate differentiated instruction strategies. Identify
participants and obtain necessary approvals. Introduce the new strategies into the classroom. Begin
data collection through observations, surveys, and assessments. And also Analyze the data collected and
assess the effectiveness of the intervention. Based on data analysis, make any necessary adjustments to
the intervention. Prepare a report on the findings and share it with stakeholders.

VI. Cost Estimate

Estimate the costs involved in your research (e.g., materials, tools, printing, etc.). This could also include
resources like software for data analysis or costs related to any intervention or innovation.

VII. Plan for Dissemination and Utilization

The findings from this research will be shared with school administrators, teachers, and the broader
educational community through presentations and a final written report. The goal is to influence
educational practices by demonstrating how differentiated instruction can enhance student engagement
and learning outcomes. Recommendations will be made for further implementation of inclusive
strategies within the school and potentially across other schools in the district.
