 Understanding AR Concepts, Processes and Models

Name of FS Student: RAP-RAP A. MORALES Year & Section: 401

Course: BACHELOR OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION Date:

To have a meaningful and successful accomplishment in this FS episodes, be sure to read

through the whole episode before participating and assisting in your FS 2Resource Teacher’s
class. Note all the information you will need and tasks you will need to do before working on
this episode.
Objectives:
At the end of the Learning Episode, I must be able to:

 Use concepts and processes of action research.

 Identify sample models of AR such as of DepEd, 2017, McNiff & Whitehead, 2006; and
Nelson, 2014
Content of the Lesson:
Action research has been embraced in education for its value in transforming school
practices by the practitioners themselves. It is used to address practical problems in the
classroom. It is a process that allows teachers to study their own classroom and school setting
in improve their effectiveness. Teacher Action Research (TAR) is a method for educational
practitioners (teacher, school leaders) to engage in the assessment and improvement of their
own practices. It is a tool to help classroom teachers, consider their teaching methods or to
adopt a strategy in order to solve everyday problem in the school setting.
Participate and Assist
You are now ready to participate and assist!
Understanding fully the concept and the process of Action Research will enable you to learn and

Since the 3 models are all for action research, what are the common elements of the
three?
Based on what I’ve seen in the three elements of Action Research Models all of them
shared elements. Wherein they are sharing the same features that is making them peculiar.
They have a cycle with elements such as observing, reflecting, planning, acting, assessing and
even adjusting. The parts I started earlier are common approach used by action researchers to
collect data. To recapulate it all, action research tests ideas as they are produced, providing real
time feedback on what works and how it works.
Guide Questions
Choose the AR sample Abstract that you submitted in Episode 2.

 Analyze the components vis-à -vis only one model out of the 3 presented.

If you choose to compare with Model A-McNiff & Whitehead, 2006, here are the components.
Behavioral Effects of Outdoor Learning on Primary Students
by Makena Cameron and Samantha McGue
Key Components Entry from your Sample AR
OBSERVE The Problem
Learning outdoors can be beneficial to the children's wellbeing
and their successes in the classroom. Teachers are looking to
incorporate outdoor education not only outdoors but bringing
the outdoors inside. Including outdoor education in primary (3-
6 years of age) classrooms may positively affect the children’s
behavior in regard to motivation and concentration. Therefore,
the purpose of this action research will explore how bringing
outdoor education into the curriculum will impact behaviors,
such as motivation and concentration, and the wellbeing of
students in the primary classroom.
REFLECT Reflection
This research focuses on the applicability of outdoor education
and incorporating nature based materials and its effect on
learning. It is truly believed that this outdoor education refers
and deals with the lessons that are given in the outside
environment as well as using materials from what we see in the
nature as assess to easily teach the children. This I think would
really benefit both children and the teachers as well in fostering
curiosity about nature, the interest in the presentation of the
lessons and being able to stand on their own, being independent
engagement while learning.
PLAN Plan of Action
The purpose of this study was to attempt to use outdoor and
nature-based education as a positive influence on students’
behavior. The research design focused on changes in motivation
and concentration measured by observing the students’
behavior before, during and after lessons were given as well as
their own evaluation of the experiences. Therefore, the purpose
of this action research will explore how bringing outdoor
education into the curriculum will impact behaviors, such as
motivation and concentration, and the well-being of students in
the primary classroom.
ACT Implementation
The sample of this action research study consisted of 22
primary aged students between the ages of 3-6 years old.
Students chosen to participate in this study showed signs of
difficulty with concentration and motivation in the classroom.
There were a total of 11 girls and 11 boys chosen for this study
because of their lack of concentration and motivation in the
classroom. This study used indoor and outdoor classroom
observations using Tally along with pre- and post-Attitude
Assessment Scales and Anecdotal Observations with
commentary on each student’s overall behavior. This study was
experimental utilizing outdoor education curriculum
implemented in four different lessons. Some lessons were
 conducted outdoors if weather permitted and if the lesson was
conducted indoors it included nature-based materials and
topics. Each lesson involved nature-based and hands on
materials

What have you understood about the concept of Action Research and how ill these be utilized in
your practice?

I came to understand that this paper taught me that there is so much more to
learn; it is essentially a tool that will help me continue on my path to become an
effective and efficient educator who places a high value on growth and advancement.
This is crucial since it contributes significantly to identifying, locating, and assisting the
gaps and shortages in the teaching-learning process. By doing this, I will be able to
recognize and pinpoint issues that arise within the four walls of the classroom,
improving classroom management. We should use action research instead of ignoring it
because it has such a significant and profound impact.

Self-Learning Activity-A
As a future teacher, is conducting an Action Research worth doing? Why?

I came to understand that action researchers are needed to be utilized especially

for those who are in the process of becoming future teachers. It serves to advance their
competence and well-being while also generating knowledge that essentially helps them
reach their full potential and broaden their horizons. This will open up a channel for
identifying and resolving any emerging barriers in the classroom. This will offer both
quantitative and qualitative information that can be utilized to assess the issue that
could soon result in a significant change in the classroom.
How can AR be useful for every classroom teacher?

Action Research can be useful for every classroom teacher in a way that it is their boat in
sailing the challenging life of managing the classroom. This will be the transportation to
generate and provide a justification and rationale for decisions and action especially with deal
what route to take and pursue. This will be their acting defense and intervention in facing the
waves of challenges that will truly test the stamina and core of the teachers in effectively
managing the room.

Self-Learning Activity-B

Direction: Check from the choices, what answer’s respond to the question correctly and
put an X if otherwise.
1. Action research requires a teacher to be:
___/__ observant of what is happening in the classroom.
___/__ asking oneself of how to improve teaching
___/__ following the daily routine all the time
___/__ finding ways on how children should learn better
___x__ blaming learners for their inability to learn.

2. There are many ways of doing action research which follow a cyclical process.
The process include:
___/__ Observe, Reflect, Plan, Act
___x__ Observe, Plan, Act, Reflect
___x__ Reflect, Act, Plan, Observe
 ___x__ Plan, Observe, Act, Reflect
___x__ Modify, Observe, Plan, Reflect

3. As an action researcher, I will be developing my skill as a person who is

___/__ Systematic
___/__ Reflective
___/__ Rigorous
___/__ Futuristic
___/__ Situational

4. On which of the following would you choose to conduct an Action Research.

Why?
___/__ Changes in the classroom practices. Why?
This is basically the reason why my action research is being
constructed to address the adversity of the atmosphere inside the
classroom. To give emphasis and attention to the problems that disturb
the teaching process abd have a meaningful answer the gaps and
deficiencies in both teacher and the vicinities of the classroom itself.
_____ Effects of curriculum restructuring. Why?
_____ Understanding of self as a teacher. Why?
_____ Teaching a new process to the students. Why?

5. Which of the following relates closely to what action research is?

___/__ Used to address practical problems in the classroom
______ Refers only to everyday life of the learners
______ Allows teachers to study their own classroom
___/__ Brings theories and practices together

OBSERVE
Remembering my classroom observations in FS 1, I noticed that there are many
questions that I raised in my mind. These include:
Write Action Research Prompts
a) What are the reasons behind why these students are behaving this way?
b) How can we really attain the full attention of all the students?
c) As a future educator, am I capable of becoming an effective, efficient and
influential teacher?
REFLECT

Thinking deeply about those problems, perhaps something must have been done to
solve the problem or answer the questions, like:
a) By knowing and understanding the background of the students to be able to at
least manage the disruptive behaviour of the students while the teaching is
rolling.
b) By generating possible intervention and strategies that can greatly reduce the
behavioural issues of the students to get and attain the attention of the students
to eradicate its main dilemma.
c) By untiringly perpetuate myself by means of never stop learning and seeing
difficult situation with a silver lining believing that every labour comes with a
great success.
PLAN

Now, that I am in FS 2, I plan to make a plan for my solution to problem (choose from a,
b, c) because
I want to bring quality and work in finding solution on how to effectively create
strategies and intervention in addressing the behavioral adversity allowing the teachers
to expand their horizon in disciplining the students itself. For this is what I believe the
long-time dilemma teachers are dealing and wanting to suppress. That is why it made
me realize to pursue this action research to at least contribute in a certain and simplest
way

ACT

My actions will come later, given enough time in FS 2 or during my Teaching Internship.
I am looking forward that this action research I prompted to formulate that it
will be soon realized and be published in order to fulfill the final requirements of this FS
1 and FS 2. This will leave a remarkable contribution for the betterment of managing the
student-behavioral issues and adversity.
