CRAFTING ACTION RESEARCH (DEPED BERF FORMAT)

Speaker: Ricky C. Montano DUTT. HC.MEM

1. What are the key concepts that you have learned in this session?

The key concepts that I have learned in this session are: Action Research
is a simply form of reflective inquiry undertaken by the participants in social
situation in order to improve the rationality and justice of their own practices and
the situations in which the practices are carried out, Carr and Kemis 2014.

Action research is a research approach that involves active

participation by the researcher in the research process. It is a process of
inquiry that seeks to address practical problems or issues in a particular
context, such as a community, organization, or educational setting.In
action research, the researcher collaborates with the people affected by
the problem or issue to identify and implement solutions. This approach
emphasizes the importance of practical ,hands-on experience, and
encourages participants to reflect on their experiences and learn from
them. Action research typically involves several stages,
including identifying the problem, gathering data, analyzing the data,
developing and implementing a plan of action, and evaluating the results.
The results of the research are often used to inform future action and to
improve the situation or context being studied.

2. How can you integrate this in teaching and in the field of education?

As a teacher, the knowledge that I learned from this session can be a great help
to my student because I can impart to them the importance things that I learned
from this session. Action research can be integrated into teaching and
education in several ways. Here are some examples:

Teacher professional development: Teachers can use action research

to improve their teaching practices and student learning outcomes. By
collaborating with colleagues and conducting research in their own
classrooms, teachers can identify and implement new strategies and
approaches to teaching and learning.
Curriculum development: Action research can also be used to develop
and improve educational programs and curriculum. Teachers and
curriculum developers can work together to identify areas for
improvement, gather data, and make changes to the curriculum based on
the results.

Student-centered learning: Action research can also be used to promote

student-centered learning by involving students in the research process.
Students can help identify problems and solutions, and their feedback can
inform teaching and learning practices.

School improvement: Action research can be used to improve school

culture and climate, as well as to address issues related to equity and
inclusion. By involving all stakeholders in the research process, schools
can create more inclusive and supportive learning environments.

3.Make a summary of the session either in paragraph or bullet form.

Action research is a research approach that involves active participation by

the researcher in the research process, with the aim of addressing practical
problems or issues in a particular context. It is a collaborative and participatory
approach that emphasizes practical, hands-on experience and encourages
participants to reflect on their experiences and learn from them. Advantages of
action research include promoting collaboration and reflective practice,
encouraging innovation and experimentation, and leading to improved outcomes
and a more supportive learning environment. Considerations when writing an
action research include selecting a problem or issue to address, identifying the
stakeholders involved, gathering data using appropriate research
