Eric introduction to action research in science education includes how action research has been used to improve teaching and learning, as suggested resources for those seeking to incorporate action research own practice of teaching or research. Rearick n (1999) have studied other dimensions of action research, e, theoretical orientation, and type of reflection used. Here we draw and other reviews to define action research as "systematic inquiry tioners to improve teaching and learning. Our definition assumes that ts of the inquiry are made public, adding to the knowledge bases ng and learning, and open to critique by research in science educationaction research utilized in three domains of science education: teacher education sional development; research on science learning; and pment and implementation. The cognitive processes of learning; or participating in the curriculum research and research in science teacher ch has been used in both preservice and inservice science ion, and as a way for teachers to collaborate with one another to ce. Hewson and colleagues (1999) use action research to help rs become reflective about what it means to teach for conceptual ctive teachers designed, conducted, and presented research projects, tive journals as research notebooks, and participated in seminars. S was found to help participants focus more on student conceptions ations, important aspects of teaching for conceptual a science inquiry group (van zee,1998). T their findings through research festivals, web pages, presentations and national conferences, and submission of case studies for practitioner-based e feat was a three-year teacher enhancement project (spiegel, 1995). By the national science foundation (nsf) in which middle school rs studied their own teaching. The teachers met regularly in groups to discuss the their research, and in the third year they presented their research in uium.
The research projects have been published (spiegel, 1995) and examples of how action research can be a viable, effective method of classroom teachers. This and other professional development programs ice science teachers have resulted in increased teacher knowledge ed instructional practice (feldman, 1996; madsen & gallagher, 1992),As well as more inquiry-based, problem-based learning, and e teaching (staten, 1998). Research and the study of science t for enhancing effective learning (peel) was an action research at improving the teaching and learning of science by encouraging inquire into how their students learn (baird & mitchell, 1987). With support from school administrators, the teachers met as throughout the school year to share the progress of their h reflection on their own practice in collaboration with other university researchers, the teacher researchers came to new how students learned science. Solomon and colleagues (solomon, duveen, & scot, 1992) used ch as a means of collaborating with middle school science teachers data about classroom learning. The research focused on the effects orating historical studies into the science curriculum on students'. Five classrooms located in three different schools were involved, each classroom a university researcher worked alongside a teacher on r basis both to observe and to assist the teachers in improving ell has for more than 20 years researched in his classroom how physics. Minstrell's efforts demonstrate how a classroom teacher who is part of ity of researchers can add substantially to the knowledge base on research for science curriculum development entationscope, sequence and coordination (ss&c) was an t aimed at transforming the ways science is taught by making student-centered and inquiry based, and by changing the curriculum that all students study all domains of science each year. During two years project in california, teachers engaged in action research on the pment of ss&c curriculum and the struggle to implement it in s (feldman, mason, & goldberg, 1992; 1993; feldman, 1995). The transformation of science curriculum through a focus on issues e, technology and society (sts) was the goal of several research groups facilitated by hodson and others (pedretti & hodson,1995; hodson & bencze, 1998). Action research assisted rs in knowing how to learn about educational issues, how to own views on curriculum, and how to critique and develop their ional rs of writing and other literacy skills have been actively engaged research through local and national writing projects (smith, 1996) efforts (e.
Reardon (1996) directed an action research project in which teachers studied ways to integrate the teaching of reading and ces for action researchresources for those who use action research in science education include "how-to-do" books. Altrichter, posch, & somekh, 1993; calhoun, 1994; mills, 2000; sagor,1992), a chapter in the "handbook of research design in mathematics and ion" (feldman & minstrell, 2000), and published examples of rs' action research ( e.

N elementary tary school students are naturally curious, which makes science an t for them to learn. Science is included as a core element in elementary ary levels despite conceptual complexity and high cost of implementation.
Batomalaque, 2009) another justification for the inclusion of science in school that all citizens need to achieve a degree of “scientific literacy” to enable them ipate effectively as citizens in modern s indicate however, that many of our filipino learners are not onal literacy, without which they find it too difficult to meet the challenges posed rapidly changing ound of the ts’ performance in the national achievement test shows that ues to be the most difficult field of study in basic education. The results ed to guide the department of education in its efforts towards the improvement quality of education in public schools and to provide appropriate intervention for ing to the basic education curriculum primer 2002, science and to help the filipino child gain a functional understanding of science concepts ples linked with real life situations, acquire science skills as well as des and values needed in solving everyday problems. There science and health for grades i and ii but simple science and health concepts e the child’s interaction to his immediate environment are contents h. In grades iv-vi, x study of science concepts will be taken up in preparation for high . The goal of science is to demonstrate understanding how science, health relate to the comprehension of the environment and application of skills,Attitudes and values in solving varied life with the problems persisting today in philippine education system, our functional literacy to empower learners is at stake. The trends in mathematics and science survey (timss) alone conducted five years ago revealed unsatisfactory results, the philippines ranked. Department of education (deped) data show that for every 100 children grade 1, close to 15 do not make it into grade 2, and roughly one-quarter (t) have dropped out before grade is for these reasons that the researcher embarks on developing ention materials in science for grade 4 students that will enhance learning the least mastered skills of the students, thus attain growth in their ent of the study aimed to develop strategic intervention materials in science that e learning and remedy the least mastered skills of the students, thus in their academic ically, it attempted to answer the following questions:1. What is the level of academic performance of the pupils based on the post test results using the two strategies in teaching science:1. They may find the result of the study helpful in planning ting appropriate strategic intervention materials in teaching science at any inside the classroom and encourage other teachers to upgrade their methods ques in the teaching-learning s. It could give them motivation on cope with their difficulty and motivate them to study hard to overcome their researchers. 165 males and 165 females) of tunasan elementary school enrolled during the following were the research instruments used in the study.
They tried to increase and deepen , knowledge and understanding from concrete science to what is more gave the students the opportunity to explore their understanding and make these new scientific ideas. Furthermore, they were als meant to reteach the concept (s) and skill (s) to help the learners master ency-based skill which they were not able to develop during classroom intervention material has five parts such as the guide card, activity card,Assessment card, enrichment card and reference card. Pre-test/ was a 20-items teacher-made test which was designed to measure the of the students on the lesson chosen by the researcher. The researcher informed the school science coordinator, an, and the teacher-advisers of each researcher together with other science teachers of tunasan had identified the least mastered skills in grade four science and found out y level was not achieved by the students in the previous years and current , the researcher chose the least skill of all the least mastered in all encies given by the department of education which was the content of gic intervention material. And their scores in every treatment d and interpreted by the researcher to determine whether there were ences on their mean scores in the pretests and tation, analysis and interpretation of chapter discusses the results of the study on the comparative analysis ic performance of pupils in science using traditional method vs. Level of academic performance of the pupils based on the pre-test and post s using the two strategies in teaching science in terms of:1. This means that the experimental group which used the ention material significantly better retention of facts and concepts and or in applying this knowledge in problem-solving gs, conclusion and researcher’s findings agreed with the findings of hogan (2000) rd (2004), who found out that intervention materials contributed to ng of the concepts among students. The strategic intervention materials were effective in mastering the –skills in science based on the mean gain scores in the posttests of mental and control the light of the findings, the following conclusions were drawn:1. Science teachers can use the strategic intervention materials made by the re-teach the concepts and skills and help the students master the competency-based. Science teachers should develop more strategic intervention materials for ing lessons which were not included in researcher’s sims.
