THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

Introduction

Student engagement refers to the degree of attention, curiosity, interests,

optimism, and passion that students show when they are learning or being taught, which

extends to the level of motivation they have to learn and progress in their education.

Also, it includes the actions or behaviors of the students while engaging in academic

environment. In education, student engagement is vital in gaining learnings and

knowledge. Less engagement will result in poor meaningful learning experience that can

affect their academic performance. As it measures the quantity of involvement and

interaction of students to the discussion in the classroom that can lead to packing the

whole learning.

Student engagement has been defined as “participation in educationally effective

practices, both inside and outside the classroom, which leads to a range of measurable

outcomes” (Kuh et al., 2007), and as “the extent to which students are engaging in

activities that higher education research has shown to be linked with high-quality learning

outcomes” (Krause and Coates, 2008).  Similarly, Groccia (2018) stated that student

engagement and proposes a multidimensional model from which one can develop a

variety of engagement opportunities that lead to a rich and challenging higher education

experience.

Moreover, using the I do, We do, You do Teaching Strategy will be used in

improving student engagement. The I do, We do, You do teaching strategy is an explicit
teaching and inquiry-based learning. According to Reid (2021), explicit teaching is a

structured sequence of learning led by the teacher, who demonstrates and explains a new

concept or technique, and kids practice it. Inquiry-based learning is student-centered and

involves the students, guided by the teacher, creating essential questions, exploring and

investigating these, and sharing ideas to arrive at new understanding.

In teaching, it is not enough that a lesson is delivered, there must be an

engagement among the students and the teacher. The field study students assigned at

Lorenzo Tan National High School (LTNHS) noticed that most of the Grade 8 students

are inattentive and less likely to participate and engage in class discussion. During the

class discussion, some students listened while others shows some negative behaviors such

as yawning, sleeping, talking with their classmates and using their smart phones. The

field study students are concerned that Grade 8 students are less motivated and may not

be able to gain meaningful learnings required at their level. Therefore, the field study

students assigned in LTNHS had to make a plan to improve their engagement in the

classroom.

I. Statement of the Problem

This action research aims to determine how Grade 7 students could improve their

level of knowledge retention in Araling Panlipunan.

It hopes to answer the following questions:

1. Will implementing I do, We do, You do Teaching Strategy in teaching Araling

Panlipunan lessons improve student engagement in the classroom of Grade 8

students?
2. Is there a significant difference in the behaviors of the grade 8 students before and

after using the I do, We do, You do Teaching Strategy?

II. Conceptual Framework

I do, We do, You do Improved Students’ Improved Learning


Teaching Strategy Engagement Outcomes

III. Hypothesis

1. The implementation of the I do, We do, You do Teaching Strategy will improve

the engagement in the classroom of the Grade 8 students.

2. After going through the I do, You do, We do Teaching Strategy, the students have

shown positive behavior than before going through it.

IV. Description of the Action/Solution

The I do, We do, You do Teaching Strategy includes demonstration, prompt, and

practice. At the beginning of a lesson or when new material is being introduced, the

teacher has a prominent role in the delivery of the content. This is the “I do” phase. But

as the student acquires the new information and skills, the responsibility of learning shifts

from teacher-directed instruction to student processing activities. In the “We do” phase of

learning, the teacher continues to model, question, prompt and cue students; but as

student move into the “You do” phases, they rely more on themselves and less on the

teacher to complete the learning task (Levy, 2007). 


I Do. The first phase involves the teacher modeling the proper manner to carry out

the abilities that are a part of the new notion being taught. In a number of ways, this

establishes the tone for the lecture. Due to the requirement that they put their pens down

while the teacher demonstrates a task, students who believe they already know how to

carry it out correctly are prevented from doing so. Also, those pupils who require more

time to analyze and comprehend the subject are helped by this phase. The playing field is

leveled. Nobody is making progress. All of the pupils are simply listening and observing

while the procedure is demonstrated to them (McCoy, 2011).

We Do. When the teacher has demonstrated how the new topic should be used or

understood, the students team with the teacher or their classmates to work through some

instances. This fosters a higher degree of understanding. In addition to listening, students

are capable of other tasks. This stage enables a teacher to support and encourage pupils as

they learn the subject being taught rather than letting them face the "beast" of the brand-

new information on their own. Students who are shy or kids with learning problems,

autism, etc. can gain confidence from this (McCoy, 2011).

You Do. During this stage, pupils independently practice the new subject being

taught to show their first level of understanding. Mathematics is one academic area where

this tactic excels. Math concepts frequently require the simultaneous integration of

numerous processes and skills. It can be quite challenging to master a new concept if you

skip a vital step or have a weakness in a certain skill (McCoy, 2011).

V. General Methodology

a. Participants
The participants will be Grade 8 students in Lorenzo Tan National High

School for the A.Y 2022 – 2023.

b. Data-Gathering Tools

The I do, We do, You do Teaching Strategy and another teaching strategy

will be used in teaching Araling Panlipunan to find out what teaching strategy is

most effective in increasing student engagement in the classroom. During the

discussion, there will be a behavioral checklist used to observe the behaviors of

the students during class discussion while utilizing the other teaching strategy and

the I do, We do, You do Teaching Strategy.

c. Procedures and Data Gathering

On the second week of the internship, the students’ engagement in the

class discussion will be observed using the behavioral checklist while utilizing the

other teaching strategy. On the following weeks, the I do, We do, You do

Teaching Strategy will be used in the class discussion alternately. After gathering

the data, the results will be analyze that will help describe the outcome as a

whole.
