ACTION RESEARCH PROPOSAL
Title: Increasing Pupils’ Attendance in Grade II of Kapalaran Elementary
School Through Extra One-On-One Periods and Reward system
Proponent: Maria Victoria B. Takiang
Type of Research: Individual Teacher Research
Problem:
Absenteeism is a large problem in education. The negative effects of absenteeism go
much further than just having impact in school. It also had impact to the pupil’s life and
habits as a whole. One of the most annoying, if unavoidable experiences of teachers like me
is dealing with pupil absenteeism. We prepare lesson plans with the objective that 100% of
the class will learn from the day’s classroom activities. It is most satisfying when all pupils
are present on that day and the days thereafter to ensure maximum learning.
For the past few months, the researcher found it very difficult to achieve a perfect
attendance among her pupils. No matter how interesting and well - prepared her lessons and
teaching materials are, there are bound to be pupils who miss out the day’s activities,
willingly or unwillingly.
With this, the researcher aims to increase school attendance of the pupils.
Specifically, she aims to answer the following questions:
1. What factor can be changed in the school setting in order to help increase pupils’
performance?
2. Would a reward system help increase pupils’ performance?
3. Do designated work periods help make school less stressful, therefore increasing
attendance?
Plan of Action and Time Frame:
October 7th Identifying pupils-respondents. Gather baseline data by obtaining school

attendance for the last four months of 2019-2020 school year. Have a
conversation with the pupils-respondents and write notes on her reasoning for
absence and feelings towards school.
January 15th: Inform the pupils-respondents that at the end of each week, they will have an
informal meeting to discuss any missed days, the current strategy and how
they felt.
January 16th – January 19th: The first strategy to be implemented is providing a designated
after school homework period begins. The teacher-researcher is assigned to
stay after with the pupils-respondents to do make-up work, homework or
study. Days she attends, the time period and assignments accomplished will
be tracked.
January 22nd: Conference with the pupils-respondents to discuss feedback on how they felt
about the extra after school period and reasons as to why they may have
missed any school days the previous week.
January 23rd – January 26th: Continue providing the pupils-respondents with the after
school period. Days they attend, the time period and assignments
accomplished will be tracked.
January 29th: Conference with the pupils-respondents to discuss feedback on how they felt
January 30th – February 2nd: Continue providing the pupils-respondents with the after school
period. Days they attend, the time period and assignments accomplished will
be tracked.
February 5th : Conference with the pupils-respondents to discuss feedback on how they felt
missed any school days the previous week. They would be informed that next
week a new strategy will be implemented on top of also still receiving the
extra after school homework period. A reward system will be put into place.
Each day the pupils-respondents comes to school, they draw a smiley face on
their “Attendance Calendar”. 5 consecutive days they attend school, they will
be able to pick a reward of their choice. Rewards will be things such as the
privilege to have lunch with a teacher, extra free time, homework pass or
anything else that is reasonable that will motivate the pupils-respondents.
February 6th – February 9th: Starting this week, each day that the pupils-respondents is in
school, they will be able to mark the day on their “Attendance Calendar” that
will be hanging in the wall. Every 5 consecutive days she will be able to pick
a reward. The option to attend their after school homework period will still be
offered. Days they attend, the time period and assignments accomplished will
continue to be tracked.
February 12th: Conference with the pupils-respondents to discuss feedback on how they felt
February 13th – February 16th: The pupils-respondents will continue marking days on their
“Attendance Calendar” that will be hanging in the wall. Every 5 consecutive
days she will be able to pick a reward. The option to attend their after school
homework period will still be offered. Days they attend, the time period and
assignments accomplished will continue to be tracked.
February 20th – February 23rd: The pupils-respondents will continue marking days on their
February 27th – March 2nd: The pupils-respondents will continue marking days on their
March 5th – Conference with the pupils-respondents to discuss further feedback on how
they feel about the reward.
March 6th – March 8th: Analyze data. Compare average attendance rates between no
Strategy and extra after school help and with the reward system. Put the data
collected from after school help into a chart. Organize pupils-respondents
comments and feelings on each strategy along with my own observations.
March 9th - Write up collected results. Put action research paper together and
submit.

ACTION RESEARCH PROPOSAL
Title: Improving Phonemic Awareness Skills of Non-Readers in Grade II of
Kapalaran Elementary School
Researcher: Maria Victoria B. Takiang
Type of Research: Individual Teacher Research
Problem:
There is a strong positive correlation between early phonemic awareness and
later reading success (Adams, 1990). Children who lack phonemic awareness skills
are at risk for developing reading disabilities. She thinks it is important for children to
learn the English alphabetic system and how print represents spoken words. If
children cannot hear and manipulate the sounds in spoken words, they will not be able
to decode – to map sounds to letters and letter patterns.
For the past few months, the researcher had problem with pupils who have
reading difficulty. Learning to read is a challenge for them. They are moved into
grade II with low emergent literacy abilities. They didn’t catch on the reading process
in their first grade. It’s impossible for them to achieve grade level performance due to
their reading disabilities. Their poor performance in reading affects their performance
in all subject areas. They have to acquire the skills and knowledge they need to read
grade-level text fluently.
With this, the researcher aims to improve the phonemic awareness skills of the
pupils. Specifically, she aims to answer the following questions:
1. What are the phonemic awareness problems of non-reader pupils?
2. What strategies/approaches should be used to improve phonemic
awareness skills of non-readers?
Plan of Action and Time Frame:
No Steps Time Frame

.
1. Identify non-readers November, 2014
2. Administer Pre-Test using EGRA November, 2014
Toolkit to identify phonemic awareness
problems of the pupils
3. Plan and employ activities that will November, 2014 -
address the phonemic awareness February, 2015
problems of the pupils
4. Administer Post-Test March, 2015
5. Compare and analyze the result of the March, 2015
Pre-Test and Post-Test
6. Make a report March, 2015
