ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I offer my sincere gratitude to the Principal of Railway Higher Secondary
School, Maligaon for his help, guidance, and cooperation in carry out the action
research study.
I would also like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the Principal
of Asom Sikshak Prasikshan Mahabidyalaya and all the faculty members for
their guidance, supervisor, and help.
I am also indebted to the various authors whose books and articles I had
consulted during the preparation and while carrying out this Action Research
study.

3. Action research.
Fundamental studies tend to generalize about the Phenomenal and the philosophy of
this type of studies can be explained as 'gathering knowledge for the sake of
knowledge'.

4. ACTION HYPOTHESIS:
The following hypothesis has been formulated for conducting this action research-

almost all the types of research, because present case can be understood
In this action research plan the investigator has used case study method for
giving remedial measures after knowing the cause behind the problem. The
investigator has used this method to solve the problems of the students like
understanding the subject while the teacher teaches in the class, difficulty
Population generally describes the larger group. It is defined as all the items of
an enquiry. Thus, to study the whole population it requires much time. It is not
possible for action research because action research require immediate solution
of the problem. It requires a sample of the total population.
6.2 SAMPLE:
Sample is a small percentage of the larger population who are selected for
research. It can be statistically explained as being a subset of population. A
sample be able to give an idea of the characteristics of the larger group from
where it has been drawn. It is possible to make deduction of the larger
population on the basis of sample.
Non probability sampling is a very convenient in the situation when the sample
to be selected is very small and the investigator wants to get some idea of
supreme. It is also a purposive sampling. The investigator mainly used the non-
The population of this research is the total number of students of class X that is
38 of Railway H.S. School, Maligaon. Out of which one section is selected which
is class X.
In this research study the sample is 10 students of the concerned class of Railway
H.S. School and the students belongs to age group of 15+ years.
There are various types of tools for collecting data. These tools of data collection
differ in case of the money costs, time and other resources at the disposal of the
A. DIARY: The diary is used by the investigator to note down the daily
absences what is occurring in social real-life situation and classify and report
the observed behaviour, events, and the contexts surrounding the events and
behaviours in controlled and uncontrolled situations. Observation is the most

the help of electronic tools and keeps them as data for future investigation.

After selecting the sample for the purpose of research study in the
particular school i.e., Railway H.S. School, Maligaon, the investigator had
made the appropriate use of the tools of data collection. While gathering
data, the investigator has made the best effort to gain the most reliable,
the concerned students and explained the purpose of the questionnaire and
asked them to provide their true and biasfree without fearing any
This research study, the investigator earned out an interactional session with
the student’s behaviour both inside and outside the classroom environment and
was helpful to determine the cause of the problem. The interview acted as pre-
test for this research study. The analysis of the data collected in the pre-test are
included in the later part of this action research report. The main problem found
are lack of awareness of the students as well as their parents, lack of interest of
the students towards the subject, poor foundation of geometrical concepts, lack
of motivation etc.
remedial measures steps were designed and applied to the students as follows:
WEEK1:
aware about the importance of trigonometric ratios and identities and how
which posses a problem in learning. The investigator has tried to teach them
mathematics. The investigator has used some teaching aids as it makes the
learning process interesting and can create interest among the students.
WEEK 2:
different trigonometric terms, their ratios and identities and some formulas
with the help of teaching aids so that they can capture the things in a better
way.
WEEK 3:
different trigonometric ratios and where to use them properly. Examples were
given against each trigonometric ratios so that the students can cater the
applied heuristic method fir this problem and tried to develop their thinking and
imagination power. The investigator has applied this method because if they get
interest towards the subject, they will definitely do their homework and practice
more at home.
