presented in their title?

Analyze

Action Research seems easy and familiar. Since teaching seems to be full of problematic
situations and that teacher has a responsibility of finding solution for everyday problems in school,
hence teacher 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.

Reflect

Based on the readings you made and the previous activities that you have done.
1. What significant ideas or concepts have you learned about action research?

I learned that, educators must engage in action research, and I learned on

definition that I will not forget. Stephen Corey’s belief, which I fully agree with, is
that “Changes in education are unlikely to occur. Unless practitioners are involved in
the development of curriculum and instructional gained through inquiry as a
springboard.” On this, I believe are accurate. I also learn about the Core
Characteristics of Action Research and the various types of classroom action research
or studies in which I can participate in this activity. Finally, I learned about the
 COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION

various action research models, as well as the Department of Education’s Action

Research models.

2. Have you realized that there is a need to be an action researcher as a future

teacher?
Yes / No__. IF yes, complete the sentence below.

Yes, because Action Research is critical to our success. What accounts for this?
Stephen Corey. As practitioners or teacher, we involved in the learning of our students,
and we monitor the classroom and the school as a whole to understand the situation,
address, and solve the problems we encounter and in the end, to improve the quality of
the educational process.

OBSERVE
From what teaching principle of theories can this problem be anchored?
 I have observed and noticed that Action Research begins with a problem or
a problematic situation.
Write an example of a problematic situation that you have observed and
notice.
Write an example of problematic situation that you have observed and
notice. The probable solution that I can thinking is the teacher must conduct
a survey to students about reading comprehensions through read story and
answering the oral reading tests so that the teacher finds the data who is
slow readers. Teaching reading comprehension to non- readers and
frustration level readers today different from the past. Teachers need to
focus will students, not just successful readers.

REFLECT
What have I learned? What do I hope to achieve?
I realized that for every teaching learning problem, there is a solution.
Write a probable solution to the problematic situation above. As an
intervention program, a student brings home a copy of a reading selection/
story to read at home. His parents will rate him/her selection. The teacher
will validate the rate of his parts by putting another Star on the copy, thus a
student will be earning Star depending on his/ her reading skill. Reading
material will vary according to different types of reading (non-readers,
frustration level, instructional and independent level.)
PLAN
What strategies, activities, innovations can I employ to improve the situation or solve
the problem?
As a future action researcher I can plan for an appropriate intervention
like, the teacher read aloud while students along in their books, students
echo-read, students choral- read, the text is taken if more practice is
required, and extension activities can be integrated during the week.
ACT
If I conduct or implement my plan, what can be its title?
 If I will implement my doable plan in the future, my title would be

This action research aimed to improve the mathematics performance of 56 Grade 11

students of Buug National High School students. Thirty-one or 55% scored the average and poor
level of mathematical skills in the Diagnostic Test. The researcher addressed in improving
mathematics performance using the Jigsaw technique. The results of the study showed that the
number of students who were within a poor level was reduced in the Evaluation Test. There is a
significant difference (p = 0.030) in the Mathematics performance of Evaluation Test results
between the lecture method and the Jigsaw technique. The findings stressed that the results of the
Evaluation Test of control and treatment groups have significant differences. It is proposed that
teachers should design activities through the Jigsaw technique to promote mathematics
understanding by having students practice, solve, manipulate, reason, and perform. Jigsaw
technique may help students make connections across mathematical skills and concepts, and other
disciplines. Following the Jigsaw technique activity, students should have time to discuss how they
perform in solving mathematical activities. With careful planning, implementation, and evaluation
mathematical activities can be achieved successfully by most students. Keywords: mathematics
