1 THE TEACHER WE
REMEMBER
Analyze:
1.From the PPSTs the Southeast Asia Teachers Competency Standards and the TEDx videos that
you viewed, what competencies does a great teacher possess?
2. Are these competencies limited only to professional competencies?
3. For a teacher to be great, is it enough to possess the professional competencies to plan, a
lesson, execute a lesson plan, manage a class, assess learning, compute, and report grades?
Explain your answer.
4. For a teacher to be great, which is more important – personal qualities or professional
competencies.
5. Who are the teachers we remember most?
Reflect:
Which personal traits do I possess? Not Possess? Where do I need Improvement in?
Which professional competencies am I strongly capable of demonstrating?
In which competencies do I need to develop more?

the identified problem as presented in their
problems?
Analyze:
Action Research seems easy and familiar. Since teaching seems to be full of problematic
situation and that the teacher has 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!

Visit a school, where the learning environment is face-to-face. Prepare a detailed

report describing the face-to-face learning environment in terms of the three
components:
Physical Environment
 Is the space inside the room more than enough for learners to move about?
 Does the room arrangement match with teaching-learning principles? Are there
several room arrangements in the school?
 Are the visual displays attractive and so they stimulate learning?
 Are the school premises safe and is the classroom space free from hazards?
 Are the learners comfortable in terms of light and ventilation?
Psychological Environment
 Are there sets of rules and procedures followed? What are these?
 Are there sets of expectations that can motivate the learners to learn?
 Are these observable in the classroom?
- Classroom atmosphere based on trust, cooperation and empathy
- Modeling of positive attitude, respectful behavior, constructive actions
- Avoidance of ridicule, sarcasm, superiority in the classroom
- Opportunities for learners to share their experiences and learning with each
other
Social Environment
 Are there opportunities for positive interaction inside the classroom?
 Are there outdoor activities that foster friendship, camaraderie and cooperation?

Remember: Noticing is making sense of your observations and making interpretation to adapt to
the situation. It begins with paying attention that leads to interpretation and deciding what action
should be taken.
Making a capsule Action Research Plan will prepare you to undertake an actual Action
Research. You will also be able to assist your mentor to do similar research together.
In the past episodes focusing on the key aspects of teaching and learning, you have
answered the Action Research Writing prompts. Go back to these and choose which episode

19 Writing an Initial Action Research Plan
Analyze
We said at the beginning that all teachers could make an Action Research. It is easy to do
it. Let’s try doing it. Today, you shall develop a Plan for our Action Research by following the
sample cycle. You will share your output your mentor for an opportunity to work together.
Topic you chose: (from the past episodes) _____________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
Episode number and Title: _________________________________________________
Writing Action Research Prompt page: ______________
Model A:
Activity 1: Developing an Initial Research Action Plan
A. Observe/Notice
What problem/concern have I noticed that affect teaching-learning?
Examples response: The problem I have noticed is that there is a lot of competition in
the classroom. The slow learners are left behind.
 Write your own observed/noticed classroom problem here:
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
B. Reflect
Think deeply of the problem and your observation. Why is this happening? Can the
slow learners be helped? How will it be done?
Example response: I think most of the activities are very competitive. There are
always, winners or losers. The smart students overrule the poor students thus often
they continue to be losers. With this situation, I believe, that I should modify my
classroom strategy.
 Write your reflective response to the problem you stated:
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
C. Plan for Action

Key questions:
- What will I do as a teacher to solve the problem?
- How will I describe my intervention, innovation, or actions to be

identified problem?
- How long will I take to introduce the intervention?
- With whom shall I work?
- What materials do I need?
- Are methods, participants, data collection, time tables considered in

my Plan for Action?
Example response: my plan is to introduce cooperative learning in the classroom. I create a

mixed ability grouping with fast, average and slow learners in their activities. I will rotate the
leadership in the group, so that each one will have a chance. The bright will assist or help the
slow ones. I will try out for eight weeks. I think I can work alone in with my students. I need
only tables and chairs or if not available, arm chairs arranged in circles will be an alternative.
 Write your own Plan of Action Research based on the key questions. You
give more details.

E. Act (Implementation of the Action Research Plan)
Note: The implementation of the Plan will follow when time allows. A more detailed
Research Action Plan will be required. The McNiff and Whitehead (2014) of DepEd (2016)
models may be used depending on the advice of your mentor.
Now, to further elaborate on your Action Research Plan, use the Dep Ed template
below:
Remember to read the rubric in this episode to know how your teacher will
evaluate your Action Research plan. This rubric will remind you of the criteria for an
excellent action research plan.

VI. Cost Estimate (Write Cost Estimate)
VII. Plan for Dissemination and Utilization (Describe how the results will be

VIII. References (Write at least three references.)

Reflect
Remember: Reflection is a process of making sense of one’s previous experience. Please

take a look at what you do in the classroom and think about why you do it. Recall things
that you have done in the previous segment. You may include your thoughts, feelings,
reasoning, relating and reconstructions about it.
What was your experience in writing the action research plan?
What knowledge, attitude, and skills did you have that helped you accomplish it?
What do you still need to learn and develop in yourself to be a skilled teacher-researcher?
Your artifact will be taken from your activity in preparing an action research plan in this
episode. You will just expand the answer that you have given and place in the template
below.

JOB WELL DONE!

Remember, in the succeeding episodes, you will be reflecting back on how you can
conduct an Action Research in the different topics that you will be able to participate and
assist. Good luck to all. Enjoy your journey to becoming a Reflection Teacher
Practitioner!
