Let us continue to examine and analyze what you have noticed and interpreted in the previous
activity.
Key Questions
1.From what source do you think, did
the authors identify the problems of
their action research?
Title of the Action Research:
Improving Mathematics Performance
Among Grade 11 Students Through Jigsaw
Technique
From the title, I think the study seeks to
develop and improve a teaching method or
techniques to improve the mathematics
performance of the grade 11 students. The
study was conducted because the
researchers wanted to determine the
effectiveness Of jigsaw techniques in
solving the performance problems of the
students. The action research involve
teachers who are empowered to be more
effective in the field.
I think the author/s proceeded solving the
identified problem from the title. The
author did readings for literature and
Relevant studies regarding the problem.
The problem became the main focus of
the study and the solutions and
recommendations is provided.
My Answers
Choose from the option given. You may
check more than one answer
Choices:
__Copied from the research books
_✓_From daily observation of their
teaching practice.
_✓_From difficulties they observe of their
learners
_✓_From their own personal experience
__From the told
experiences of their co teachers
 2. What do you think is the teacher's
intention in conducting the action
research?
Choices:
_✓_To find a solution to the
problematic situation
__To comply with the requirements of
the principal
_✓_To improve teaching practice
_✓_To try out something, if it works
__To prove oneself as better than the
others

3.What benefits do you get as a student of Choices:

fs 2 in understanding and doing action _✓_Prepare me for my future job
research? __Get good grades in the course
_✓_Learn and practice being an action
researcher
_✓_Improve my teaching practice
_✓_Exposure to the realities in the
teaching profession
_✓_Become a better teacher everyday

4.In what ways can you assist your mentor Choices:

in his/ her action research activity? _✓_By co-researching with my
mentor _✓_By assisting in the
design of the
intervention
_✓_By assisting in the implementation of
the AR
__By just watching what is being done
Reflect

Based on the reading you made and the previous activity that you have done 1.

What significant ideas or concepts have you learned about action research?
I learned the vital stages to becoming an effective teacher who is concerned with both
their personal development and the development of the students. Finding the gaps in the
teaching requires a critical analysis of action research. We will be willing to ask the issues
we encountered and provide field solutions through action research.

2. Have you realized that there is a need to be an action researcher as a future teacher?
Yes_✓_ No__. If yes complete the sentence below

I realized that to consistently switch up your teaching methods in order to be a great

teacher. I must engage in active research. I'll be able to uncover methods that work for and
accommodate each of my pupils through action research. Being an action researcher involves
expanding my teaching repertoire and enhancing my students' academic performance. This is a
method for resolving the main issues raised by the students.
 Write Action Research Prompts

Observe

From what teaching principles of theories can this problem be anchored?

• I have observed and noticed that action research begins with the problem or problematic
situation.

Write an example of problematic situation that you have observe and noticed

That a PowerPoint presentation is provided by the trainer in an online class. He/she does,
however, believe that student-teacher interaction is essential for an efficient teaching and
learning process. The students are reluctant to contribute to the discussion and cooperate since
they are trying to adjust from in-person to online classes. Let's pretend for the purposes of the
this problem that the teachers and students had never met in person but were only introduced
through the online course.

Works on my Artifacts

Your artifact will be an abstract of a completed action research.

The action research aims to enhance the performance of Grade VI-C Pupils in Mathematics in
Buyagan Elementary School through the use of Arts In Math (AIM). Specifically, the action
research sought to: 1) use Arts in Math (AIM) to enhance the mastery level of Grade VI-C in
Mathematics, 2) improve comprehension skills of Grade 6 on Mathematics concepts through
the use of “Arts in Math (AIM)”, 3) use “Arts In Math

(AIM)” to stimulate, motivate and sustain pupils’ interest in Mathematics and 4) improve the
teaching strategy in Mathematics through AIM. The study was conducted for two quarters from
June-October 2015(1st and 2nd Grading) with 46 pupils as the target subjects. The study made
use of the one -shot experimental design to look into the effectiveness of “Arts In Math (AIM)”
in improving pupils’ performance in Mathematics.

The findings showed that the use of Arts In Math (AIM) enhanced the performance of Grade
VI-C Pupils in Mathematics. For the first quarter, there was an increase of 34.13 in the MPS
and 29.79 for the second quarter. Using the t-test of the difference between means of
correlated data, the t- test computed value of 23.71 for the first quarter and 32.37 for the
second quarter is more than the critical value of 1.676 at 0.05 level of significance with 45
degrees of freedom.
