STUDY 2 EPISODE
Writing An Initial
FS 2 6 Action Research Plan
To have meaningful meaningful and successful accomplishment in this final FS episode,
be sure to read through the whole episode before participating and assisting in your FS 2
Resource Teacher's class. Note all the information you will need and tasks you will need to do
before working on this episode.
Clarify Your
Task
Let us revisit our Action Research Model. As a beginner, use the model of Nelson, O
(2014) as your basis for developing an initial plan for action research.
As you become more skillful in doing action research, you may like to use the McNiff &
Whitehead (2014) or DepEd DO 16 (2017) models.
Participate and Assist
We said at the beginning that all teachers can do 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 simple
cycle.
Use the following steps of the model. Your answer to the Key Questions in each step will
guide you in making your plan.
Step 1: OBSERVE. Observe and notice to identify the common problems.
Key questions:
● What common problem have I observed and noticed?
● Can I translate the problem into questions?
● Why is the problem important to me as a future teacher?
● Why is the problem important to the learners?
● What have I read and learned about this problem in my previous courses?
● What do references say about the problem?
Step 4: ACT on the PLAN. This step will be done, during the Teaching Internship
or in FS 2 if given the time. You may collaborate with your mentor or your
classmate.
Analyze
We said at the beginning that all teachers could do 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
simple cycle. You will share your output with your mentor for an opportunity to work together.
Model A:
Activity 1: Developing an Initial Research Action Plan
A. Observe/ Notice
What problem/concern have I noticed that affects teaching-learning?
Example 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:
The problem I have noticed is the poor reading skills and reading comprehension which
is becoming very alarming.
B. Reflect
Think deeply about 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 and 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:
The reason behind poor reading skills among high school students can be complex and
multifaceted. Some of the contributing factors include foundational gaps, limited
practice, diverse learning needs, and external factors such as home environments and
access to resources can significantly impact students’ exposure to reading materials and
opportunities for support. Slow learners can be helped with a requirement of a tailored
and patient approach such as differentiated instructions and specialized interventions.
Helping slow learners requires patience, consistent effort, and a multifaceted approach
that addresses their individual needs. By tailoring interventions, providing support, and
creating a nurturing environment, educators can significantly improve the reading skills
and comprehension abilities of slow learners.
Example response: I plan 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 this out for eight weeks. I think I can work alone with my students. I need
only tables and chairs; if not available, armchairs arranged in circles will be an alternative.
● Write your own Plan of Action Research based on the key questions. You give more
details.
As the Philippines ranked fifth lowest in terms of performance in reading, the
problem with reading comprehension skills in Rawis National High School became
alarming to me. As a teacher, I have come up with a reading intervention that might
make reading comprehension fun by turning it into a burger-building expedition. This
can assist me in determining whether they comprehend the storyline as well as the other
aspects, or whether there are some gaps in their comprehension. The Story
Cheeseburger reading intervention approach deconstructs a tale into manageable
components, helping children to evaluate and grasp texts in an organized and
entertaining manner. It pushes pupils to delve deeper into tale aspects, resulting in
increased reading comprehension and critical thinking ability. The aforementioned
reading intervention might last one or two class sessions ranging from 45 to 90 minutes
each.
However, the following application and practice of applying this strategy to
successfully evaluate texts might take many classes or weeks. I can obtain complete
data, concepts, and viewpoints that increase the validity and impact of your study by
cooperating with a varied set of stakeholders, including my colleague’s instructors,
groupmates, researchers, students, and parents.
Employing the Story Cheeseburger reading intervention does not necessitate the
use of tangible things, but rather instructional tools and resources to help to understand.
Resources required include books or texts, visual aids, graphic organizers, examples
and models, technological resources, reading materials, and evaluation tools. While
these tools are useful for teaching the Story Cheeseburger approach, the most crucial
components are the stories or texts themselves, as well as the engagement tactics
necessary to use the method effectively. Adapt these resources to meet the individual
requirements and preferences of your learners as well as your instructional style.
D. References
Include at least 3 reading materials about the intervention that will be used.

VII. Plan for Dissemination and Utilization (Describe how the results will be shared)
Creating an integrated strategy for the dissemination and use of the Story
Cheeseburger reading intervention to increase high school students' reading
comprehension necessitates developing techniques for successfully sharing findings and
implementing the intervention within educational contexts. Here's a structured plan:
1. Dissemination Strategies
Educational Materials – The researcher will create educational
materials detailing the intervention’s structure and methodologies for
distribution among high school students and teachers.
2. Implementation Strategies
Resource Development – The researcher will develop supplementary
resources, such as lesson plans, activity sheets, and multimedia content, to
support the implementation of the intervention.
Collaboration with Education Departments – The researcher will
collaborate with the education departments or curriculum development
authorities to integrate the Story Cheeseburger intervention into educational
frameworks or recommended practices.
3. Utilization Strategies
Monitoring and Evaluation – The researcher will establish mechanisms
for ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the intervention's implementation
to ensure fidelity and effectiveness.
Feedback Mechanisms – The researcher will create channels for
continuous feedback from teachers, students, and administrators to address
challenges and improve the intervention.
4. Sustainability Strategies
Research and Continuous Improvement – The researcher will
encourage ongoing research and evaluation to refine the intervention based
on evolving educational needs and emerging best practices.
This strategy intends to maximize the effectiveness of the Story Cheeseburger
reading intervention in increasing high school students' reading comprehension on a larger
scale by strategically distributing findings, successfully executing the intervention,
boosting use, and assuring sustainability.

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.
Preparing an Action Research Plan requires observation, noticing, inquiry, reflection, and
prior readings. It is a tedious process but you will find it easy to implement if you have a good
plan. As mentioned earlier "A good plan, is half of the work done.'
