THE TEACHER WE
1 REMEMBER

Analyze:
1.From the PPSTs the Southeast Asia Teachers Competency
Standards and the TEDx videos that you viewed, what
competencies does a great teacher possess?
2. Are these competencies limited only to professional
competencies?
3. For a teacher to be great, is it enough to possess the
professional competencies to plan, a lesson, execute a lesson
plan, manage a class, assess learning, compute, and report
grades? Explain your answer.
4. For a teacher to be great, which is more important – personal
qualities or professional competencies.
5. Who are the teachers we remember most?

Reflect:
Which personal traits do I possess? Not Possess? Where do I
need Improvement in?
Which professional competencies am I strongly capable of
demonstrating?
In which competencies do I need to develop more?
Who are the teachers we remember most?

4. What do you think did I think the author/s…………….


the author/s do with the
identified problem as
presented in their
problems?

Analyze:
Action Research seems easy and familiar. Since teaching seems
to be full of problematic situation and that the teacher has
responsibility of finding solution for everyday problems in
school, hence teachers should do action research. This is an
exciting part of being a teacher, a problem solver!
Let us continue to examine and analyze what you have noticed
and interpreted in the previous activity.

Visit a school, where the learning environment is face-

to-face learning environment in terms of the three
components:

Physical Environment
• Is the space inside the room more than enough for
learners to move about?
• Does the room arrangement match with teaching-
learning principles? Are there several room
arrangements in the school?
• Are the visual displays attractive and so they
stimulate learning?
• Are the school premises safe and is the classroom
space free from hazards?
• Are the learners comfortable in terms of light and
ventilation?

Psychological Environment
• Are there sets of rules and procedures followed?
What are these?
• Are there sets of expectations that can motivate the
learners to learn?
• Are these observable in the classroom?
- Classroom atmosphere based on trust, cooperation
and empathy
- Modeling of positive attitude, respectful
behavior, constructive actions
- Avoidance of ridicule, sarcasm, superiority in the
classroom
- Opportunities for learners to share their
experiences and learning with each other

Social Environment
• Are there opportunities for positive interaction
inside the classroom?
• Are there outdoor activities that foster friendship,
camaraderie and cooperation?
• How are individual needs and differences considered?

Unlike the traditional face-to-face environment, online or
virtual environment is a bit difficult to manage. It is
because Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is imaginary and
not in the physical sense. It has no corners or walls and it

Notice

1. Take note of:


• The alignment of the different assessment task/s
both paper-and-pencil (traditional) and non-proper-
and-pencil tests (authentic) used to assess the
learning outcomes.
• The quality of both traditional and authentic
assessment tasks used (if constructed in accordance
with principles of test construction/assessment task
development. • The students’
comments/reaction/response/behaviour while doing
both traditional and authentic assessment tasks. •
The CT’s comments/reaction/response/ behaviour while
giving both traditional and authentic assessment
tasks.
• The assessment tasks used for formative purposes (to
ensure lesson understanding and mastery) and for
summative (grading) purposes.
• Your own feelings and thoughts as you assisted your
CT:
- Formulate the assessment tasks.
- Administer the assessment.

LEARNING EPISODE
Writing an
19 Initial
Action
Research
Plan
Notice
Remember: Noticing is making sense of your observations and
making interpretation to adapt to the situation. It begins with
paying attention that leads to interpretation and deciding what
action should be taken.

Making a capsule Action Research Plan will prepare you to


undertake an actual Action Research. You will also be able to
assist your mentor to do similar research together.
In the past episodes focusing on the key aspects of
teaching and learning, you have answered the Action Research
Writing prompts. Go back to these and choose which episode
topic you would like to work on as you write an action
research plan.
Here are the episodes and the pages where you can find
them. Review each Action Research Writing Prompt and choose

19 Writing an Initial Action Research Plan

Analyze
We said at the beginning that all teachers could make an
Action Research. It is easy to do it. Let’s try doing it.
Today, you shall develop a Plan for our Action Research by
following the sample cycle. You will share your output your
mentor for an opportunity to work together.

Writing Action Research Prompt page: ______________
Model A:
Activity 1: Developing an Initial Research Action Plan

A. Observe/Notice
What problem/concern have I noticed that affect teaching-
learning?
Examples response: The problem I have noticed is that
there is a lot of competition in the classroom. The slow
learners are left behind.
• Write your own observed/noticed classroom problem
here:
_____________________________________________________
________
_____________________________________________________
________
_____________________________________________________
________
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________

B. Reflect
Think deeply of the problem and your observation. Why is
this happening? Can the slow learners be helped? How will
it be done?
Example response: I think most of the activities are very
competitive. There are always, winners or losers. The
smart students overrule the poor students thus often they
continue to be losers. With this situation, I believe,
that I should modify my classroom strategy.
• Write your reflective response to the problem you
stated:
_____________________________________________________
________
_____________________________________________________
________
_____________________________________________________
________
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________

C. Plan for Action Key questions:


- What will I do as a teacher to solve the
problem?

- How will I describe my intervention,


innovation, or actions to be identified
problem?

- How long will I take to introduce the


intervention?

- With whom shall I work?

- What materials do I need?

- Are methods, participants, data collection,


time tables considered in my Plan for Action?

Example response: my plan is to introduce cooperative learning


in the classroom. I create a mixed ability grouping with fast,
average and slow learners in their activities. I will rotate
the leadership in the group, so that each one will have a
chance. The bright will assist or help the slow ones. I will
try out for eight weeks. I think I can work alone in with my
students. I need only tables and chairs or if not available,
arm chairs arranged in circles will be an alternative.

• Write your own Plan of Action Research based on the


key questions. You give more details.

E. Act (Implementation of the Action Research Plan)


Note: The implementation of the Plan will follow when time
allows. A more detailed Research Action Plan will
be required. The McNiff and Whitehead (2014) of DepEd (2016)
models may be used depending on the advice of your mentor.

Now, to further elaborate on your Action Research


Plan, use the Dep Ed template below:
Remember to read the rubric in this episode to know
how your teacher will evaluate your Action Research plan.
This rubric will remind you of the criteria for an
excellent action research plan.

Reflect

Remember: Reflection is a process of making sense of one’s


previous experience. Please take a look at what you do in
the classroom and think about why you do it. Recall things
that you have done in the previous segment. You may include
your thoughts, feelings, reasoning, relating and
reconstructions about it.

What was your experience in writing the action research


plan?

What knowledge, attitude, and skills did you have that


helped you accomplish it?
What do you still need to learn and develop in yourself
to be a skilled teacher-researcher?
