and its justification)

A. The Problem and Its Background (Answer the following questions)

1) What issues and concerns did you gather and collect from external and internal
assessment?
2) What is the prescribed performance or behavior?
3) What is the correct / actual performance, behavior or situation?
4) What is the difference between the standard and the correct / actual performance,
behavior or situations?
5) Which of these gaps is the most relevant, the most important, the most urgent and the
most doable?
6) What reasons or pieces of evidence support the decision?
7) What are the possible immediate, underlying and root causes of the most relevant, most
important, most urgent and the most doable gap?
8) What are the pieces of evidence presented?
9) What the possible solutions to the immediate, underlying and the root causes of the most
relevant, most important, most urgent and most doable gap?
10) What related study, if any, can support the proposed probable solutions?
11) Which of the root solutions is the best strategy that can be implemented to address the
gap?
B. Statement of the Problem
1) What is the problem of the study? Re-state the strategy into a problem statement by
describing who is affected, supported causes of the problem, the objective of the
improvement, and the intervention that will be initiated to improve situation or address
the issue, concern or problem.
C. Research Questions
1) What are the specific questions that when answered would lead you to the right
investigation method for the problem? What information will you gather to answer the
problem of the study?
D. Hypothesis
1) What is your educated guess as an answer to the problem or what is your tentative answer
to each research question? How do you expect the strategy to impact or affect the
problem of the study?
E. Significance and Purpose of the Study
1) Why is the problem being investigated? Why is the strategy being implemented or being
tested for effectiveness? Who will benefit from the study? How will students, teachers,
school heads, supervisors, officials or education system benefit from the results of the
action research?
F. Scope and Delimitation
1) Who are included in the study? Who are not included in the study?

Chapter II METHODS AND DESIGN

( This part provides a step-by-step plan for conducting the study. To write this part of an action research
paper, you must narrate the process of selecting a research design and methodology and designing an
implementation plan by answering the following questions:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prepared by : JOVINER Y. LACTAM, LPT, EMD (CAND)
 1. What research design and method will you use?
2. What programs, projects and activities or tasks will you do to implement the strategy?
3. What are your objectives in conducting programs, projects, activities and tasks?
4. How will you collect, treat, analyze and interpret data?

CHAPTER III RESULTS

( This chapter presents the results and findings that you gathered from observation, interviews, data
analysis and interpretation. To write this part of an action research paper, you must answer the following
questions after the action plan is implemented:

1. What results came after implementing the action plan?

2. Provide answers to the research question based on the results findings.

CHAPTER IV CONCLUSIONS

( this part states your general findings and based on your findings you will give your recommendations to
improve local practice. )

1. How can the finding and conclusions be meaningful and relevant to you?
2. What do you recommend as a researcher?
