At the end of this learning activity, the FS students should be able to:
1. recall the different parts of an action research
2. prepare and write an action research plan
3. submit the proposed action research plan

In your Field Study 1, you have learned that action research is a dynamic process that is categorized under
applied research. It is focused on solving practitioners’ local problems wherein an action plan plays a significant role in the
execution of such work (Johnson & Christensen, 2020). Yes, you heard and read it right - for a teacher’s life, conducting
action research is an advocacy since the primary purpose of it is to improve school practices and solve classroom-based
teaching and learning related issues to find applicable ways and means to address existing or present issue that usually
bother practitioners’ execution of their job. So, let us now put into practice the theories that you have learned by preparing
an action plan that will serve as your guide and frame of reference in doing Classroom-Based Action Research (CBAR).

Recall the different parts of the action research, then put into practice the ideas/ knowledge you have learned. You can
enrich your knowledge on how you go about preparing your action research plan by watching “YouTube”, surfing credible
online website, browsing and reading vital sources, eBooks, books, journals and research publications. Please observe
the following: (1) etiquette in doing activities; (2) proper acknowledgement of references and sources; and (3) intellectual
property rights.

Directions: Below are the parts of an action research. Prepare your research plan by describing what you
will do to come up with an excellent classroom-based action research.
Sample:
Parts Description of your plan
Based from the previous class observations, I will choose one class
with distinct characteristics and recall the challenges they
Situation encountered. From those challenges encountered, the chosen
scenario will serve as my springboard in writing my CBAR.
