ASSIGNMENT QUESTION

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this assignment is to assess learner’s knowledge in action research and
expose learner with the process involved in each action research cycle.

ASSIGNMENT 1: WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT (40 MARKS)


Discuss what are the NINE (9) steps of planning for action research as stated by Mertler and
Charles (2011). Which of the nine steps in the action research process do you believe would
be the most difficult to carry out? Explain your answer.

ASSIGNMENT 2: ACTION RESEARCH PLAN (60 MARKS)


Action research is an effective means for teachers to develop and grow professionally.
Johnson (2008) describes action research as the most efficient and effective way to address
the professional development of teachers’. Action research affords teachers opportunities to
connect theory with practice, to become more reflective in their practice, and to become
empowered risk takers. All of these opportunities enable the in-service classroom teacher to
grow professionally and ultimately to realise growth in student learning.

Base on the above statement, you are required to prepare an action research plan on area
related to early childhood education.
Your plan must include the following details:
1. Introduction (background of the study)
2. Problem identified
3. Research objectives and research questions
4. Literature review
5. Research methodology
6. References
[Total: 100 Marks]
SOALAN TUGASAN

TUJUAN:
Tujuan tugasan ini adalah untuk menilai pengetahuan pelajar dalam penyelidikan tindakan
dan mendedahkan pelajar dengan proses yang terlibat dalam setiap kitaran penyelidikan
tindakan.

TUGASAN 1: TUGASAN BERTULIS (40 MARKAH)


Bincangkan SEMBILAN (9) langkah-langkah merancang kajian tindakan seperti yang
dinyatakan oleh Mertler dan Charles (2011). Manakah antara sembilan langkah dalam proses
penyelidikan tindakan yang anda rasa paling sukar untuk dilaksanakan? Terangkan jawapan
anda.

TUGASAN 2: PELAN PENYELIDIKAN TINDAKAN (60 MARKAH)


Penyelidikan tindakan adalah kaedah yang berkesan untuk guru berkembang secara
profesional. Johnson (2008), menggambarkan penyelidikan tindakan sebagai kaedah yang
paling cekap dan berkesan untuk perkembangan profesional guru. Penyelidikan tindakan
memberi peluang kepada guru-guru untuk menghubungkan teori dengan amalan mereka,
menjadikan mereka lebih reflektif dalam profesionnya, seseorang yang boleh diberi
tanggungjawab dalam mengambil risiko. Semua peluang ini membolehkan guru-guru
berkembang secara profesional dan akhirnya dapat merealisasikan perkembangan
pembelajaran pelajar.

Berdasarkan pernyataan di atas, anda diminta untuk menyiapkan rancangan penyelidikan


tindakan mengenai bidang yang berkaitan dengan pendidikan murid prasekolah.
Rancangan anda mesti merangkumi butiran berikut:
