 You may have experienced in your past subjects, doing some activities or accomplishing
tasks similar to an action research. These are activities that required you to do Reflection and
Make Action or the other way around. Schon (1987) distinguishes Reflection in Action or
Reflection on Action as two different things.

Perhaps your mentor teacher has already done an Action Research. Now is the
opportunity for you to participate and assist in ways that you are capable of doing.

Here is what you will do.

Making a List of Completed Action Research Titles by Teachers in the Field

1. Make a library or on-line search of the different Completed Action Research Titles
Conducted by Teachers.
2. Enter the list in the matrix similar to one below.
3. Submit your list of five (5) Titles of Completed Action Research Studies to your
mentor as reference.

Inventory of Sample Action Research Conducted by Teachers

List of Completed Action Research Author/Authors

Ex. Differentiated Instruction in Mary Joy Olicia
Teaching English for Grade Four Classes

 Based on your activity on Making a List of Completed Action Research Titles,
let’s find out what have you noticed by answering the following questions.

Questions My Answer

1. What have you noticed about the 1. Identified problem to be solved in

action research titles? Do the action title no. 1
research (AR) titles imply problems to
be solved? Yes_______ No______ 2. Identified problem to be solved in
title no. 2
If YES, identify the problems from the title
you have given. Answer in the space provided. 3. Identified problem to be solved in
title no. 3

4. Identified problem to be solved in

title no. 4

5. Identified problem to be solved in

title no. 5
2. What interpretation about action Title of the Action Research:
research can you make out of your _____________________________________________
answer in Question No. 1? _____________________________________________
_____________________________________________

3. Write the Title and your interpretation From the title, I think, the study _____
of the study from the title. ____________________________________________

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

with the identified problem as
presented in their titles?
 Action research seems easy and familiar. Since teaching seems to be full of
problematic situations and that the teacher has a 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 examine and analyze what you have noticed and interpreted in the previous
activity.
