Plans for Dissemination and Utilization VIII. References I. Context and Rationale Context and Rationale It should contain discussion of any or all of the following: 1. Presentation of the Problem Tell what the problem is all about This will indicate what will be covered by the study Context and Rationale
2. The existence of an unsatisfactory condition, a felt
problem that needs a solution. The causes must be found so that remedial measures may be instituted. Context and Rationale
3. Rationale of the Study
4. Historical Background of the problem
5. A desire to have deeper and cleared understanding of
the situation, circumstance, or phenomenon. Context and Rationale 6. A desire to find a better way of doing something or improving a product. 7. A desire to discover something. 8. A link between the introduction and the statement of the problem. - a sentence or two should show the link between the introduction and the reason for conducting the research. II. Action Research Questions What is a Research Problem Any significant, perplexing (confusing) and challenging situation, the solution of which requires reflective thinking. CRITERIA IN CHOOSING A TOPIC FOR ACTION RESEARCH
Must be inherent in the context of the school
management, classroom, teaching, learning
Must be meaningful, compelling and important to
you as a teacher-researcher and for your personal and professional growth CRITERIA IN CHOOSING A TOPIC FOR ACTION RESEARCH
Must be within your sphere of influence, consonant
with your work and can be addressed within the confines of your classroom
Must be focused but not so ambitious, big or
complex that it requires extraordinary resources CRITERIA IN CHOOSING A TOPIC FOR ACTION RESEARCH
Must urgently address on intense, pervasive or serious problem
before such problem gets worst or create more serious problem.
Must benefit your students or stakeholders by informing them
about your teaching and the curriculum, by providing new insights about them and their learning or by improving practice. GUIDELINES IN STATING THE RESEARCH PROBLEM Be as specific as possible
Raise a question that is ethically neutral( avoid the use of
should, and must, or ought)
State the specific sub- problems in the interrogative form
GUIDELINES IN STATING THE RESEARCH PROBLEM Each specific question must be clear and unequivocal, that is, it has only one meaning and not dual meanings.
Each specific question must be researchable apart from
the other questions, meaning, answer to each specific question can be found even without considering the other questions. GUIDELINES IN THE SELECTION/ FORMULATION OF RESEARCH PROBLEM’’ A research problem or title must: be chosen by the researcher himself. be within the interest of the researcher. be within the specialization of the researcher Be within the competence of the researcher to tackle. Be within the ability of the researcher to finance. III. Proposed Innovation, Intervention and Strategy PROPOSED INNOVATION, INTERVENTION AND STRATEGY A specific solution to address the problem. It must be responsive to the identified issue. It must be within the control of the researcher It must be within the competence of the researcher It must be within the resources of the researcher. IV. Action Research Methods A. Participants and/or other Sources of Data and Information SUBJECT Is an individual who participates in a research study or someone from whom data are collected. It may also identify individuals whose behaviour, past or present, is used as data, without their involvement in some type of treatment or intervention. In qualitative research individuals are identified as participants rather than subjects. A. Participants and/or other Sources of Data and Information POPULATION any group of individuals who has one or more characteristics in common that are of interest to the researcher. a group of elements or cases, whether individuals, objects, or events, that conform to specific criteria and to which we intend to generalize the results of the research. B. Data Gathering Methods Includes strategies and tools to be used in order to find answer to the research question. Anecdotal record, observation notes and progress monitoring sheet may be used. B. Data Analysis Plan Describe your data analysis technique. It must be directly aligned to the problem and research questions. Action Research Work Plan and Timelines Action Research Work Plan and Timelines Activities Target Date Persons Involved VI. Cost Estimates Cost Estimates Activities Resources Needed Amount Plans for Dissemination and Utilization RESEARCH RESULTS UTILIZATION Research utilization focuses on what researchers want people to receive from their research results, how they want people to make use of the ideas, information, or products resulting from their research, and how people are actually using these. RESEARCH RESULTS UTILIZATION Research utilization refers to “making decisions concerning policy, advocacy and resource allocation, planning and management, and program systems development and strengthening, using information generated from research”. The concept of research utilization has been described using a variety of terminologies, including ‘knowledge translation’, ‘knowledge management’, ‘knowledge utilization’, and ‘research dissemination’, among others.

Research Can Be Classified in Many Different Ways On The Basis of The Methodology of Research, The Knowledge It Creates, The User Group, The Research Problem It Investigates Etc
