Learning Episode 4: Matching Problematic Learning Situation
with Probable Action
Objectives:
At the end of this episode, I must be able to:
1) Analyse teaching learning problems prevailing in the classroom.
2) List matching action as a probable solution to the teaching-learning problems.
Matching Problematic Learning Situations with Probable Actions as

Solution
Identifying a problem is a tricky task. Action research begins with identifying a problem. Oftentimes,
it is one of the difficult things to begin with. When a researcher was asked: “Have you identified a problem
for your action research?” Common answer will be: “My problem is that, I do not have a problem.”
Ironical, isn’t it?
If you observe and notice closely the teaching-learning environment in the classroom, you
will discover of lot of problematic situations. You must have also observed these problematic
situations when you did your FS 1 course.
But matching these problems with appropriate action is trickier.
Revisit the Info graphic/s:
A group of more than six hundred teachers was surveyed and asked what teaching learning
problems confront them. Here are their answers put together in a wordle.
Study the wordle below. Each word represents an issue or a problem which was reported by teachers
in the field. Which of the words do you recognize as a problem? Draw a circle around five words that
you have also identified as problems in teaching-learning.

Teachers (Felimon, Siason, Bilbao, 2021)
Each of the Identified problem that you chose has a corresponding action or solution.
IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS ACTION AS SOLUTION

I. Participate and Assist

What five problems have you identified from the words that you have encircled? Make a statement. Write
in the space below.
The problems I identified are:
1. ______________________________________________________
2. ______________________________________________________
3. ______________________________________________________
4. ______________________________________________________
5. ______________________________________________________
Excellent! Let us see how we can assist and learn at the same time.
Suppose, the problem you have spotted is : COMPREHENSION.
How can you assist your mentor, after knowing that the learners have difficulty in
comprehension?
Make a Choice of your Action.

A. Conduct a tutorial lesson
B. Show video lessons to help enhance comprehension.
C. Make a learning task to develop comprehension.
Suppose you chose letter A. Conduct a tutorial. So you have identified the SOLUTION that
matches the PROBLEM which is Difficulty in Comprehension.
The Problem is: The Action is:
DIFFICULTY IN
COMPREHENSION CONDUCT A TUTORIAL
Can you also choose letter B: Show video lesson as a SOLUTION for the same PROBLEM?
Explain: ______________________________________________________
DIFFICULTY IN
COMPREHENSION OF SHOW VIDEO LESSONS

What about letter C as a SOLUTION to the same PROBLEM? Why?

Interesting isn’t it? Now, you can assist your mentor by identifying observed problems in the
class and suggest actions to be done.
II. NOTICE:
What have you noticed of the problem identified above? Can there be more than one
solution to the problem?____________ Explain
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
__________________________
A creative and innovative can find one or more than one solution or answer to the same
problem. Each solution matches with the problem. The more solutions identified to choose
from, the better for an action researcher.
III. ANALYZE:
Let us try to look into the following scenarios in the daily life of a teacher. This scenario
might also be similar to the class you have observed and noticed.
Scenario A: Miss Fely is a grade four teacher in a typical elementary school. She has forty learners
in her class. One half of them cannot classify animals into vertebrates and invertebrates. She has
been repeating the same science lesson for two weeks, yet no progress was observed. This
situation has been bothering Miss Fely.
 Can you identify, Miss Fely’s problem? ___________________________________

 Can you find a solution to solve her problem? _________ Give your two suggestions.
a. ____________________________________________________________
b. ____________________________________________________________
 What solution can solve Miss Fely’s problem? ________________________________
How? __________________________________________________________________
Are they matched with the problem? _________________________________________
Scenario B: Sir Ryan teaches in a disadvantaged urban community. Most of his learners come
from families that are disrupted, either with single parents or with their guardians who stand
only as parents. They are deprived of the necessary food, clothing and shelter.
 Can you identify the most probable teaching-learning problem/s in the class of Sir Ryan?
a. _____________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________
b. _____________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________
 Can you propose a solution to solve one of the problems that you have identified?
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________
IV. REFLECT:
After reading the two scenarios given above, how would identifying problematic situations
and finding solutions to these problems help you to become a better teacher?
Explain:
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
V. WRITE ACTION RESEARCH PROMPTS:

Using any one example of problems in this activity, answer the AR prompts that follow:
OBSERVE:
What problematic situation prevails in the classroom?
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
REFLECT:
What changes do you want to achieve?
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
PLAN:
What strategies will you use to improve the situation?
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
ACT:
What would be the title of your Action Research should you conduct the study?
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
Add: Solutions/Actions
VI. CHECK FOR THE MASTERY:

Here are some problematic situations in the teaching-learning environment as
observed and experienced by the teachers. Match the problems listed in Column A
with corresponding probable solutions in Column B. You may use the letter once,
more than once or not at all.
PROBLEMATIC SITUATIONS PROBABLE SOLUTIONS/ACTIONS

_______1. Connectivity for Online learning. A. Re-arrange classroom setting
_______2. Disruptive Classroom Behaviour B. Maximize use of varied
instructional materials.
______3. Poor interest and motivation C. Regular parent-teachers circles.
______4. Parental non-involvement D. Use of rewards
_____5. At risk-students E. Group studies and Study Buddies
F. Use of Flexible Learning
G. Silent Reading Exercises
