Major Takeaways:
Terminal Objective:
At the end of the session, the participants
are expected to demonstrate an understanding of
the appraisal guides for proposed and completed
action research.
Major Takeaways:
Enabling Objectives: Specifically, the participants shall:
a. discuss the appraisal guides for proposed and completed
action research as indicated in DEpEd Order 16, s. 2017
and harmonized guidelines in evaluating research in Region
2;
b. apply understanding of the appraisal guides through
evaluating one’s work; and
c. appreciate the value of correctness and clarity in one’s
research paper.
Activity
How do you evaluate your
research work or others’
research work?
Activity :
What challenges did you
encounter when you
were writing in your
research?
Activity:
How relevant is our
understanding of the
appraisal guides?
