Question

A teacher records recurring difficulties faced by students in understanding a topic and implements small changes in strategy. Which professional practice does this represent?

• A. Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation
• B. Action research
• C. Peer observation
• D. Summative assessment

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Action research

• Action research is a professional practice where educators systematically investigate their own teaching and classroom environment.

• It involves identifying a problem, implementing a change, and then observing and reflecting on the outcomes.

• The cycle is continuous, with the teacher using the findings to refine their methods.

• In this case, the teacher's process of recording difficulties, making changes, and then presumably assessing the impact of those changes on student understanding, perfectly aligns with the principles of action research.
