Problem
Solution
How do we measure the
effectiveness of the solution?
Check the data
Pareto principle (80 – 20 rule – 80% of the
effect/ problems can be traced to 20%
causes)
Find the topic close to your heart (KRA’s,
Coordinatorship, specializations and etc.
 Variables of the study
 Doesn’t need to be specific. You can specify in the
Context and Rationale, or in Action Research methods.
 No need to add the name of the school, school year.
 You can have you’re working title at first.
 No need to add “Basis for…”
 *Now: Acronyms are discouraged
INTEGRATION OF VIDEO LESSONS: GRADE 6 SCIENCE LEARNERS
AMIDST COVID19 PANDEMIC
CROSS-AGE PEER TUTORING: A TECHNIQUE IN IMPROVING THE
READING SKILLS OF GRADE 3 PUPILS
Current situation
Problem/ research gaps
Baseline data
Contextualized
Introduced proposed solution
 It should be related to the title
 Do not write research questions that can be readily
answered
Example: How many students got a score of 75 and below in
Math 2 during the 1ST Quarter of School Year 2021-2022?
 Brief description of your intervention/innovation/ strategy
 What is its difference from the old way you are solving the
problem?
 Activities?
 How will you carry out these activities?
 When will you carry them out? (e.g. 30 minutes MWF, 12:30 PM,
every Friday for 2 weeks)
 Describe the participants
 Who are the identified participants?
ex. Grade 2 pupils in School X school year 2022
– 2023
 Why do you want to include them in your study?
ex. They are the pupils identified at risk in
reading.
Scenario 1: 100 non-readers
Scenario 2: 10 non-readers
 state actual acceptable sampling over total
population in your study. If you intend to get
overall population, then be it.
For sampling procedure, narrate explicitly
what will you do in the research
 How will you collect the data?
 Pre and post test?
 Instruments?
 Consents forms?
participant 18 and above – informed consent
participant below 18 – assent for minors and
parental consent
For instrumentation, describe your tool.
What is the level of measurement?
Will you use Likert scale?
Interview?
Self-made standardized test?
Mean, MPS, paired sample t-test, etc…
No need to write the formula, unless you will
manually do the statistics
Focus on Practical, not statistical significance,
present raw data or graphs
