1. The document discusses action research and its steps. Action research is conducted by teachers and administrators to improve their practices through a scientific research process. 2. The major steps in action research are identifying a problem, developing an action plan to address the problem, collecting and analyzing data, and reflecting on and reporting results. 3. An example of an action research problem is identified where students are copying solutions from help books instead of solving math problems themselves. The researcher aims to enhance learning by identifying causes and developing an action hypothesis to address this problem.

Action Research
THE ONLY CONSTANT IN LIFE IS CHANGE -HERACLITUS
What is changing? How Much? (is it significant?) Who is changing? (Causeeffect relationship) Why ? (Reasons of change) Variable Search of Truth
Major Steps in Research Define the Research Problem Content and Literature Search (Article, Thesis, Books, etc) Determine the Methodology (Research Design, Sample, Tools etc.) Tool Development and Data Collection Data Analysis (Quantitative/Qualitative) Referencing and bibliography Plagiarism Check
Action Research ? Action Research is a disciplined process of inquiry conducted by and for those taking action. The primary reason for engaging in action research is to assist the actor in improving and/or refining his/her actions Action Research is a form of school research in which the teachers, principals & other administrators solve their problems to improve the quality of their actions, discussions and practices using scientific steps of research.

Steps in Action Research ? 1. Identification of the Problem: Writing clearly the research question (s) and objectives of the study 2. Action Plan Analyze the possible causes of the problem Formulating action hypothesis to find out a suitable solution to the problem 3. Collect the data-Developing an appropriate design to test the action hypothesis 4. Analyze the Data 5. Reflecting, Reporting Results and Conclusion
Identification of the Problem 1. Poor achievement in classroom tests (Individual/Group) 2. Irregular Study habits 3. Some students are not able to solve mathematics problems inspite of the fact 1. Topic is taught in the class 2. The problems have been assigned to them as Home work and Teacher found that most of the students have solved the problems correctly in Home work.
Problem 3: Problems in solving mathematics problems Teacher goes deep into the problem and ask the questions to the students Teacher found that students really do not possess the basic understanding to solve the problems Finally teacher found that students have copied the solutions from the help-book available in the market. Copying the solution from help-book to solve homework.
Objectives To identify the causes of Copying the solution from help- book to solve homework. 1. To enhance the learning.
Analyzing the possible causes 1. The home work is given from the textbook and its readymade solution is available in help-book. 2. Students are afraid of punishment 3. No proper supervision of homework by the teacher 4. Lack of problem solving ability among students
Formulating action hypothesis 1. The most relevant cause to the problem and situation is selected Causes 1 and 3 If the problem given in home work is constructed by the teacher and home work is properly checked by the teacher, the problem may be resolved.
Problem 1: 1. Poor achievement in classroom tests (Individual/Group)
Objectives 1. To identify the causes of poor achievement. 2. To enhance the learning.
Analyzing the possible causes 1. Lack of understanding of fundamental concepts. 2. Period allotted in the timetable. 3. Faulty method of teaching. 4. Teaching Learning materials are not used in the class. 5. Teachers attitude towards students is unhealthy. 6. Lack of parental involvement 7. Lack in self interest and motivation 8. Irregular attendance 9. Inattentive in class
Formulating action hypothesis There may be improvement in the achievement if 3. appropriate methods are used. 4. appropriate teaching aids are used.
Data Collection Developing an appropriate design to test the action hypothesis Sample Tools for collection of data Quantitative data Qualitative data
Data Analysis Analyze the data Quantitative data Qualitative data
Report results, Reflect and Conclusion of the Action Research
