span
Rey Marth T. Moser
I. Context and Rationale Study Background

Young students of the digital age have a very short attention span, which is rapidly getting even
shorter. This poses a serious problem for the academic community of today. Due to their diversified
modern lifestyles, there is an urgent need for a non-traditional teaching and learning strategy.
Interactive in-class activities, as opposed to lectures alone, do draw some attention, but they cannot
always keep it. No less of a critical challenge is keeping pupils' focus and attention while they are
learning. It serves as the subject of this study. Working in small groups is interesting and enjoyable, but
when a work is a little challenging or complex, kids can easily get off topic. To prevent this, we are
introducing difficult components that include inherent competition into each cooperative activity and
exercise we plan in our classroom. This study must be able to successfully grab grade 7 students of
San Antonio National High School complete attention by taking advantage of their intense competitive
mentality. Our students are still having a good time while working cooperatively to complete tasks and
complete projects. As a result, and frequently without realizing it, students are learning fresh ideas
through actual examples. . Their comments offer a resoundingly affirmative assessment of the strategy
used. We must support our students in more diverse group activities that will help them to maintain
focus in the topic and increase their attention to the topic while having collaboration interaction to their
classmates. According to Oxford Dictionary, Attention is the notice taken of someone or something; the
regarding of someone or something as interesting or important, meaning that the students must give a
certain focused on the lecture while discussion and avoid the Distractions that can be detrimental to
the teacher and learners as well to have an effective learning process. In this study, researchers would
like to minimize the problem, providing Solutions, Group Activities techniques to help students attain a
long span of attention while in class discussion.

II. Action Research Question AR Questions

This research seeks to document how to maintain the attention by providing diverse activities to the
grade 7 students of San Antonio National High School during the school year 2022-2023, it seeks to
answer the following questions:

III. Proposed Innovation, Intervention Strategy Describe Innovation/Intervention/Strategy

Numerous studies have found that motivated students do better academically and are happier are
students that more inclined to keep going in the face of problems or what can trigger to cause any
distraction and out of focus. Teachers must comprehend the reasons behind pupils' actions. In many
cases, the behavior enables students to get what they want or avoid getting what they don't want. It
also helps learners pay attention and listen more intently during discussions. Students were
collaborative and cooperative when they were fully engaged in the lesson. When exposed to active
learning in a suitable setting with a variety of learning activities, children learned more. The study also
examined how long kids could pay attention to writing and manipulative classroom exercises. When
provided tasks in the learning atmosphere rather than a regular classroom environment, the grade 7
showed longer attention spans having an collaborative activity that jan un-interactive discussion.

IV. Action Research Methods
