Presenter :
Wan Noor Adzmin binti Mohd Sabri, PhD (University of Malaya)

2. Introduction
Action Research (AR) as one of courses offered to final year students in the teacher colleges of Institut Pendidikan Guru Malaysia.
Why study AR?
- expose students to plan and implement AR in school to overcome issues related to teaching and learning in the classroom

3. Action Research Introduction
Offered to final year student in IPG Malaysia
Introduction
Why?
To solve issues related to teaching and learning in the classrooms

4. Problem Statement Scarce of research from teachers
AR is the most fundamental research to implement
To increase teachers’ teaching effectiveness in the classroom.

5. To increase effectiveness
Action Research
Problem Statement
To increase effectiveness
Scarce resources
Fundamental research

6. Purpose of study To identify level of students understanding in AR
To compare the relationship between students understanding of AR and their readiness to implement it in school.

7. Action Research To identify level of students’ understanding
To compare the relationship between understanding and readiness
Aim

8. Literature Review
AR is used to solve short terms problems related to education, medical, security, etc (Chua, 2006)
Recently, AR is also used as a course in CPD (Newton & Burgess, 2008)
As mention earlier, AR can be used in solving problems related to teaching and learning in the classroom (Rosinah, 2011)

9. Action Research
Solve short term problems relating to education, medical, security, and etc. (Chua, 2006)
As a course in CPD
(Newton & Burgess, 2008)
Literature review
To solve problems relating to teaching and learning in the classroom (Rosinah, 2011)

10. Methodology
The research was design purporting to cross sectional quantitative basis.
The findings of this study is reported descriptively using frecuency, percentage, median and standard deviation.
Instruments of survey was developed by the research team based on the Course Outline and needs using the Likert scale of 5 points.
Population, N = 24

15. Action Research Findings
Finding shows that overall study shows strong positive relationship between students level of understanding and their readiness to conduct AR in school.

16. Action Research Conclusion
95.8% of our final year mathematics student have good understanding in AR and they are able to conduct AR in school due to hih correlation on the relationship between their level of understanding and their readiness to conduct AR in school.
