project)
Objective/purpose of the study
Research
problems and research objectives basically have the same meaning. Therefore,
very often research problems are stated in the same way as the research
objectives. This indicates the important role of research
problems and research objectives in research activities. However, research
objectives should be stated differently from the research problems, as the
research problems are stated as questions to be answered by the researchers,
while the objectives are stated as the goal of research to be achieved by the
researchers. Research objectives are more focused than research problems.
Following are the statements of research problems and the related research
objectives.
- To
explore the effect of
professionalism in the development of student’s learning attitude at
secondary level
2.
To
investigate the effect of teacher professionalism on student’s academic
achievement
- To investigate
the relationship between professional attitudes of teachers and their
teaching performances
Critical Question:
The
research questions are based on research objectives. The research questions
deal with more detailed aspects of statement of the problem. There may be one
or more research questions for one research objectives depending upon the
breadth and depth of research objective. Answers to research question are
resulted from the analysis of the information (data) collected and contain
knowledge of patterns, rule, and regularities of the object being studied.
Those sample answers to research questions, which can be obtained only from the
result of analysis will contribute to the development of knowledge in English
teaching and learning. For second research objective mentioned above, the
following research questions can be formulated:
1.
What are
the effects of professionalism in the
development of student’s learning attitude at secondary level?
2.
What are
the effects of teacher professionalism on student’s academic achievement?
3.
Does
a professional attitude of teachers affect their teaching performances?

Who were the participants in your project? (05 marks)
(Give
details of the individuals or groups who were focused in this project e.g. the
early-grade students whose handwriting in Urdu was not good or the students of
class VIII who did not have good communication skills)
The participants
of research belong to Government High School Lehri, Tehsil Sohawa, District
Jhelum. Participants were student of class 10 class of that school. The student
are weak in mathematical. One more issue was they can’t understand the
statement of the problem or the statement of the question written above the
equation. Individuals or groups who were focused
in this project were the grade According to Casey and Krueger (2000), focus group provides “a
more natural environment than that of individual interview because participants
are influencing and influenced by others- just as they are in real life.The details of
the individuals or groups (students) who were focused in project helps for better understanding by identifying and
noting their strengths, weaknesses, and preferences. Individuals Participants
were student of class 10 class consisting of 40 students to achieve my study objectives. Children enter
school with a diverse background of language experiences. Through hearing and
speaking experiences, these young learners have had many opportunities to
engage in incidental phoneme practice. I took notes regarding the student and
teacher activities, and tried to avoid making eye contact or speaking with any
of the students or the teacher during the observation. The overall performance of all the students (participants) was not sufficient
in English speaking as compared to other
sub-skills. Most of their parents have middle economic level, so
their study is fully financially supported by their family.

(Narrate the process

Action Research
Action research encompasses small scale
systematic inquiry and contains of a number of stages which frequently persist
in cycles. Like planning, action, observation and reflection. This type of
research has become gradually widespread all over the world as a method of
professional learning. It has been especially well developed in education,
specifically in teaching, and is now used broadly across the professions.
Classroom action research was separated into two cycles; they were cycle I and
cycle II and each cycle contained of four interrelated activities,
specifically: Planning, Action, Observation and Reflection. It was crucial to
reminder that early reflection was normally used in a classroom action study.
Plan is prospective to action, action is deliberate and controlled, observation
is responsive, reflection is evaluation to make it apparent, and the design of
present classroom action study would be described as follows. In the present
study, data collection was based on following steps.
Method of the study:
The
methodology of this research was comprised on an action research to found out
and solve the problem. The social phenomenon under scrutiny was the problem
faced by students in English speaking at secondary level in class 10.
Questionnaires, interviews, field notes and observations were used to collect
the data needed to provide the information and insight necessary to answer the
research questions.
Population:
The entire
group from which a sample is chosen is known as the population. All the students of Government High School
Lehri, Tehsil Sohawa, District Jhelum and teachers of that school were
population of this study. It was quite convenient for the researcher, being a teacher
of that school and a resident to accumulate quality data from the chosen city
and school.
Sample:
Sample is
smaller representation of large whole. Generally, it consists of some of the
observations that represent the whole population. In the existing action
research class 10 students of Government High School Lehri, Tehsil Sohawa,
District Jhelum was sampled for this study.
