Title: Problems in Making Significant Changes in Teaching Practice


Through Action Research
Author/s: Branko Bognar Faculty of Philosophy, University of Osijek,
Croatia
Abstract: Abstract
There is a growing literature about conducting an action research that could
help achieving significant changes in teachers’ practices. Although an
action research can contribute obtaining improvements, this process is not
straight-line and without obstacles. The text elaborates three problems the
author faced with while dealing with the action research in his practice.
Firstly, he realized that teachers can hardly become the agents of change
without the assistance of others. Actually, teachers who got used to
working in a traditional school find it hard to make the first step towards
professional emancipation without an experienced leader – be it school
pedagogues, advisors, experienced teachers, or even university
professors. However, their role is not only to teach teachers how to make
changes, but also to be actively involved, as practitioners, in the process of
change and in their own learning. Second presumption was that the
learning communities can encourage teachers to change. However, the
author realized that despite the positive influence the learning community
can provide imaginary safe haven to those who are not ready for assuming
an active role in the process, hoping that there will always be someone else
who will take the initiative.In addition, the sequential process of change,
which started with the professional development in learning communities,
then continued by introducing changes through action research, and
finished with the presentations of good-practice examples and publishing
the research results, appeared to be insufficient for accomplishing
significant changes. Instead, it is much better to start immediately with
making changes through action research, and during the process to
intensify the education and critical friendship. In this case, learning
communities have much more impact. Finally, author inferred that it is not
easy for the teachers to assume the role of a critical friend or an action
researcher. The process of casting off the old roles and assuming the new
ones takes time and patience and has to overcome the resistance within
others, but primarily within ourselves. However, it would be wrong to expect
that teachers develop all the necessary competences first and then begin
with their research. On the contrary, the action research is an excellent
opportunity for learning in different ways. In spite of the problems
experienced, the new roles for teachers as critical friends and action
researchers could be fruitful in making significant changes. This requires
the active involvement of different social factors. Although assuming those
new professional roles is not easily achievable, it is worth trying.
This paper was presented at the European workshop “Action Research in
the Function of the Professional Development of Teachers” held in the
framework of the Council of Europe Pestalozzi Programme, May 17-20,
2010, Zagreb, Croatia.

Fs2 Episode 5 Preparing the learning Environment
My Conducive Learning Environment 

Learning can occur in many settings, not just in the classroom. Accordingly,
the term "classroom" figuratively includes a wide range of learning
environments. Creating a positive learning environment is the cornerstone
of effective teaching. In order for our students to succeed, they must first
believe they can succeed. Students must have confidence in their abilities
and they must feel that the teacher shares that confidence. A positive
learning environment nurtures these feelings by allowing students to
explore and expand their knowledge without undue risk or fear. A positive
environment is fostered when learning outcomes and expectations are
clearly communicated to the detent. Students have a wide range of learning
needs and styles, and this diversity must be taken into account in
employing a variety of teaching strategies. The size of the classroom, the
arrangement of the furniture, the functioning of equipment and other
physical aspects of the class all contribute to, or detract from, the learning
environment. When these factors can be manipulated to be positive
influences, an environment more conductive to learning will be created. As
teachers we are accountable to our students, as well as to their future
employers. We assist students to achieve course and program learning
outcomes. The success of our efforts depends on our ability to create and
maintain favorable instructional, physical and psychological learning
environments. A positive learning environment is one in which all students
have an equal opportunity to succeed.

Fs 2 Episode 9 Creating my Classroom Management


Plan
Classroom Management Plan
In the start of the class, inform the students and the parents about the classroom
management plan which will be employed in the classroom as a form of
deciplinary action that will be rewarded with additional points added to their
performance grade if followed or observed and consecuences if not followed or
not observed. The checklist form below will be my basis of giving points. 

Consequences:
1st offense- verbal warning and advice
2nd offense- will follow the decreasing of points or minus points
3rd offense- Meeting with parents
4th-5th offense- sent to the guidance councilor
6th-7th offense- sent to principal's office

Fs 2 Episode 19 Writing an Initial Action Research
Action Research Proposal
Name: Debby Libran L. Urog
Proposal Title: Effective Methods and Strategies for Online Class
I.Study Background
In every classroom, there are students who always have their hand raised
to participate, and those who are hesitant to engage. The challenges of
getting students to participate have intensified during remote learning, as
some studies states. Digital platforms can create added communication
barriers by making it hard to know when to talk or how to read the 
important elements of discourse such  as the  student’s body language and
facial expressions. Additionally, online discussions are often hindered by
variability in students’ access to technology and by privacy concerns, and
consequently many teachers have had to rely on students’ submitting work
over isolated channels like email, which can leave back-and-forth between
peers also between students and the teacher by the any ways. Getting kids
to contribute in virtual classrooms takes some efforts and work, that is why
in order to find out how to improve student discussions and participation in
online learning, the teacher should apply effective methods or strategies
that will cater each student's learning needs.
II. Action Research Questions
Q1. What are the common problems in online or virtual class?
Q2. How can the problems be solved or improved?
Q3. What are the effective methods and strategies should be use?
III. Innovation strategy:
To improve the participation of the students in virtual class, making use of
some digital tools or virtual platforms could help boost the participation and
with the use of these following strategies would be beneficial.
1. Spider web discussion: Before the live class using a certain meeting app,
students answered questions independently, and then shared their
responses at the start of the meeting as a jumping-off point for a broader
class discussion.
2. Using chat to check for understanding: use the Google Chat feature to
ask and answer questions or type in emojis, like a thumbs-up or thumbs-
down, to show whether they understood a concept.
3. Blended Learning: A blend of asynchronous and synchronous instruction
worked well to stimulate student discussion during remote learning.
 
First, taught new content asynchronously through recorded videos and
online activities. At the start of  live class, students briefly summarized the
concepts they had learned together and then divided into breakout rooms
to solve related problems in small groups.
4. Project-based learning: Giving more project-based learning activities to
students and allowing them to explore more naturally encouraged richer
discussions in virtual learning.Giving students as much freedom as
possible to experiment, research, and pursue interests within  content area,
will inevitably makes students  have a lot more to say.
5. Think, write and tell: It is like a game strategy where the students will be
given a picture or video of an object or a topic and then they will think
something about it such as deacribing it, then they write it first before telling
or sharing their ideas.
IV.Method:
The researcher will conduct a survey to 50 online teachers of Camiguin
Polytechnic State College about the flow of their virtual classes and their
connection to their students
V. Summarize action research workplan:

The researcher will do a random pick of the 50 virtual teachers of CPSC


as the respondents. There will 2 sets of surveys which are the pre
wherein the survey indicates the experiances of teachers in their virtual
classes, and the post wherein the survey indicates the experiences of
the teachers after using or applying the following strategies in their
virtual classes, whether it improves the students' participation or not. 
The data will the be computed and the researcher will determine the
comparison of the 2 sets of surveys by the used of its weighted
average.

VI. Cost Estimated:

Printed surveys- 50 pcs. x 2 sets = 100pcs. x P3.00 each copy = P300.00

VII. Plan for Dissemination and Utilization: The results of the


computed data will be shown in a research study presentation. Hard
and soft copies will be given and shared to the respondents for their
awareness of their improvement, to the students to give them
knowledge and to the professionals to be used as reference for their
future studies.
