Sample Statement
Abstract

The objective of the study was to determine if teachers’

competence in the development and conduct of action
research affect teaching skills, professional growth and
improve school performance. Descriptive – comparative
research design was used, with 142 randomly selected
public school teachers in Davao City Division as
respondents. Using One – Way Multivariate Analysis of
Variance (one-way ANOVA), it found out that teachers’
competence in the development and conduct of action
research significantly affect teaching skills, professional
growth and improve school performance. Sustainability in
enhancing competence in the development and conduct of
Action Research may be strengthened to facilitate
enhancement of teaching skills, professional growth and
improve school performance.
 CONTEXT AND RATIONALE

• Composed of three (3) paragraphs

• 1st paragraph- contains the discussion of the
dependent variable which is supported by a theory
• 2nd paragraph- contains the related
literatures/studies (locally, national and international
studies)
• 3rd paragraph- contains the general statement and
sub-problems of the study. Also, terms are
operationally defined.
 METHOD

• Presents the research design,

sampling design, number of
participants, location of the study,
brief procedure in data gathering and
data analysis tools.
Method Sample Statement
Descriptive – comparative/ correlation/predictive research
design is used in the conduct of this Action Research. It involved
142 randomly selected Elementary and Secondary School Heads
and Teachers in the Division of Davao City. Primary data using
self – made survey questionnaire which was tested via factor
analysis for internal reliability validity and consistency. Frequency
count and percentage distribution were generated to draw out
picture for statement problem number 1. While Mean scores,
standard deviation and descriptive interpretation were computed
to address statement problem number 2, and one way
multivariate analysis of variance (ONE WAY ANOVA) was done
to produce empirical evidence showing claims for statement
problems number 3 and 4.
Procedure
Policy Reference;
 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

• - Presents results in tabular form based on

the number of sub-problems.
• - Discusses important parameters/data in
the table
• - Gives significant meanings or
interpretations of the result
 CONCLUSIONS

• State the result of each sub-

problem
• - Should be based on the result of
the study
Conclusion
Sample Statement
The study concludes that majority of the respondents
are poor in competence in the development and conduct
of action research, however, majority of the respondents
are having the same perspective on management of action
research in terms of teaching skills, professional growth
and improve school performance; that competence of
teachers in the development and conduct of action
research affects teaching skills, professional growth and
improve school performance; and none of the indicators
of perspectives in action research management significantly
affect in relation to the difference between teachers’
competence in the development and conduct of action
research.
 RECOMMENDATIONS

• - Focus on possible
suggestions for the
improvement of the study.
• - Used for policy implications
 Sample Statement
Recommendation
Sustainability in enhancing competence
by modifying the approaches in facilitation
among teachers in the development and
conduct of Action Research among
teachers may be strengthened to facilitate
advancement of teaching skills, professional
growth and improve school performance.
