What is the performance level on vocabulary skills of Grade IV learners based from the PHIL-IRI Assessment for school year 2018-2019? 2. What is the acceptability level of the interventions, innovations and strategies implemented? 3. What are the significant effects of the interventions conducted on the vocabulary skills of the learners? This action research will employ descriptive method of research in discussing the answers of the three research questions. Other components of this part are the research participants and other sources of data information, data gathering method and data analysis plan per research question. For question number 1.The result of Phil-IRI Preassessment and the teacher made achievement test will be collected and the data obtained were tabulated and interpreted using the weighted average mean. For question number 2. For the acceptability level of the intervention conducted. A set of questionnaire will applied. Survey form of questionnaire in a 5 likert - scale will be employed to determine the acceptability level of the intervention implemented. The mean and standard deviation for both pre-test and post test result will gathered and computed., For question number 3. The data for this will be obtained from the Phil-IRI Post- test result to determine the improvement on the vocabulary skills of learners mean percentage will be applied to get the positive increase and the negative decrease of the result. Overcoming Challenges and Cultivating Performance of Grade-VI Pupils in Science through Development of Interventions and Realistic Educational Collaborative Techniques and Strategies (DIRECTS) Project This research will focus on Overcoming Challenges and Cultivating Performance of Grade VI pupils in Science in Huyonhuyon Elementary school. Specifically it sought to answer the following problems: What is the performance level of Grade VI pupils in science based from 1st Quarter and 2nd quarter summative assessment for the school year 2021-2022? This action research will employ descriptive method of research in discussing the answers of the three research questions. Other components of this part are the research participants and other sources of data information, data gathering method and data analysis plan per research question. What is the acceptability level of interventions and collaborative techniques and strategies used? What are the significant effects of the interventions, techniques and strategies implemented on the performance of the pupils in science modular distance learning? JASON V. COMPETENTE Teacher 1/Huyonhuyon Elementary School Cooperating Teacher For question number 1, the result of 1st and 2nd quarter summative assessment in science will be collected and the data obtained will be tabulated and interpreted using the mean percentage. For question number 2, the acceptability level of the intervention conducted, a set of questionnaire will be applied. Survey form of questionnaire in a 5 likert scale will be employed to determine the acceptability level of the intervention implemented. The mean and standard deviation for both pre-test and post test result will be gathered and computed. For question number 3, the data will be obtained from the mean percentage of post- test result and the average of the mean percentage of 1st quarter and 2nd quarter summative assessment to determine the improvement on the academic performance or the performance level of learners in science applying the different innovations, interventions, strategies and techniques stated in this action-research proposal.

No. (054) 884-9536 “Excellence in truth in the service of God and Country” Lesson 3 1. How did you select your topics for action research? ans.: I selected my topics for my action research by identifying first the different problems encountered in the learning situations at present that affects educational achievement and holistic development of my learners. I focused only in one subject to be specific and to be more focused on the problems identified. Next is the formulation of the title of the project that I would like to implement to achieve the desired outcomes at the end of my action research. 2. What prompted you to embark on these topics? ans: The different challenges and problems amidst this pandemic that I have encountered as well as by my students and the parents especially in the modular distance learning modality implemented by the Department of Education were the factors that prompted me to embark on these topics. 3. How did you select the questions for your action research? ans: Of course, the questions that I formulated are related or anchored to the topics that I have chosen, to the Project that I have been implemented all throughout the research and to the desired outcomes or output after the actions were done. 4. How long did you conduct your action research ? ans: I have been conducting my research for one year since the needed data are the pre-test and the post-test in science 6 as well as the summative tests results for the first and second grading after the different innovations and strategies are being applied to get the desired outcome of the research. 5. What challenges and problems did you encounter while conducting your actions research? ans: The challenges and problems that I have encountered are the following: a. Formulation of research title which needs to be unique and interesting based on the current problems encountered in the delivery of instruction. b. Management of time especially in conducting home visitation to provide assistance/instruction for them to develop their study habits, to gain better understanding of the concepts and to monitor their progress in accomplishing the tasks stated in science module. c. Crafting of the contextualized modules based on the interests, needs, and the capabilities of the students. d. Crafting of other materials based from the proposed alternative interventions and innovations stated in the research proposal. e. Implementation of the projects and strategies to the pupils, gathering of data, interpretation of data, and the formulations of conclusion and the recommendations. JASON V.

Are the research questions aligned with the research topics? ans: YES 3. What could be done to help teachers improve topics selection and development of good research question? ans: The school administration can sponsor a seminar to the teachers discussing the nature of action-research especially in the improvement of topics selection and development of good research question. Administrator may provide sufficient and consistent opportunities in the school for collaborative action research; build a support system for teachers through a coach or a knowledgeable persons; create a library for action-research housing professional literature, assessment tools and other instructional resources for action-research; plan several sharing sessions for faculty to present their action research and findings throughout the year and encourage more the faculty to conduct Action-research in the school.
