LESSON 1 - Understanding Action Research


This lesson will guide you in understanding content knowledge, pedagogical
knowledge, and curricular knowledge. It will help you analyze the importance of content
knowledge and its application to teaching and learning. The objectives of this lesson are the
following:
 discuss the concept of action research;
 discuss the importance of action research to improve teaching and learning; and
 analyze action research done in a school.

Action research is a process of systematic inquiry into a self-identified teaching or


learning problem to better understand its complex dynamics and to develop strategies
geared towards the problem's improvement (Hamilton and Zaretsky 1997). It is a
disciplined process of inquiry aimed to develop solutions to various issues and problems
related to teaching and learning. It is a technique that guides every teacher to
systematically and critically reflect on different teaching and learning practices.
Specifically, action research is:
 a process of taking scientific action to improve teaching and learning;
 is typically designed and conducted by teachers who analyze data from their school
and classroom experiences to improve their own teaching and learning practice; and
 a type of applied research in which the teacher-researcher is actively involved in the
process of study.

Action research empowers every teacher to meet all challenges in the teaching
profession related to the implementation of the curriculum. It enables teachers to examine
their teaching practices and experiences in relation to an educational theory. In action
research, the teacher is the doer of the action, which means it is the teacher who plans,
develops, and implements the research and at the end, takes informed action to implement
the purposes of the study.
