Write Action Research Prompts

This part allows you to synthesize or put together what you noticed, analyzed and reflected on to
come up with a possible topic for an action research.

OBSERVE

What problematic situation/ challenges /area of improvement did you see while you participated
and assisted using an LMS?

Because of the pandemic, a lot of students have no idea how to use and explore the
application that we can use this time of crisis. I think that, it is one of the most challenging parts
especially during the first part of AY 2020-2021.

List at least three sources that you have read about this problem/challenge.

paper, we analyze this problem from a
technical and operational perspective for the
open-source market leader LMS Moodle, and
we propose a solution and a prototype of
implementation.

On what theory/principles can this problem be anchored?

SAMR Model, it is a framework created by Dr. Ruben Puentedura. SAMR is a model

designed to help educators infuse technology such as the use of apps into teaching and learning.

REFLECT

What does l hope to address the problem/challenge/area of improvement in LMS use? What
change do you want to achieve?

Instructors should balance active learning with the use of LMS technological resources
and the use of guidelines from the qualified curriculum. An LMS allows instructors to facilitate
and model discussions, plan online activities, set learning expectations, provide learners with
options, and assist in problem-solving with processes for decision making. An Instructor’s
presence within an LMS creates an engaging learning environment. Students can retain their
autonomy, enthusiasm, and motivation with LMS use.

PLAN

2. What strategies/solution/means can you employ to improve the situation/solve the problem?

Get some opinions, validations, recommendations and solutions from other teachers and from
other sectors of education. According to (Bradley, 2020), Stakeholders of the educational
community must find scientific studies to support their contributions in LMS platforms to assist
scholars in learning academic subjects.

A Learning Management System (LMS) is one elearning tool that has been widely used to
improve students' learning experience and the construction of their understanding of certain
topics. In the past decade, learning management systems (LMSs) have become the standard on
college campuses. However, some professors are growing increasingly frustrated with the LMS
and its limitations, especially within online classrooms. The use of Learning Management
Systems (LMS) as tools for learning in the present Internet age is seen as an important solution
to remedy major problems particularly faced by higher education instructors, students and
universities.
