Abstract:
Writing action research has become central for effective and productive learning to happen. This research aimed to determine the perceived level of understanding in writing action research among the 124 public elementary teachers from the 14 schools in Clarin South District, Division of Misamis Occidental. Frequency Count and Percentage, Weighted Mean, Standard Deviation, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Mann-Whitney U Test were used to quantify data on the perceived level of understanding in writing action research and its significant differences when grouped according to profile. Results revealed that most of the teachers were female, 41 to 50 years old, had earned master’s degree units, and had been working as Teacher I for less than 10 years. The perceived level of understanding on writing action research among teachers of Clarin South District was generally very high (GWAM=3.37) and did not significantly differ when grouped according to their profile. Therefore, teachers were committed to ongoing professional development and had the skills and knowledge required to conduct action research. Thus, it is suggested encouragement and support for professional development, and implementation of action research training and support for collaborative research.
