Summary

In this video, Khodijah Makarim provides guidance on conducting Classroom Action Research (CAR) and addresses common concerns about the number of cycles required. The focus is on improving teaching quality through collaboration with subject teachers, gathering feedback from students, and refining teaching methods. She explains that CAR typically involves two cycles but can extend if necessary to achieve the desired results. The key takeaway is that the number of cycles is flexible and depends on when the research objectives are met. The importance of valid planning, accurate measurement, and continuous reflection in CAR is emphasized.

Takeaways

• 😀 The primary purpose of Classroom Action Research (CAR) is to improve the quality of teaching and learning in the classroom.
• 😀 It is essential to collaborate with subject teachers when conducting CAR to ensure real classroom problems are addressed, not assumptions.
• 😀 CAR should focus on improving the teacher's teaching methods, which can be informed by student feedback and teacher observations.
• 😀 Teachers need to enhance their professional competencies, which include pedagogic, professional, personality, and social competencies, as outlined by national education laws.
• 😀 Conducting CAR provides benefits for both the researcher (e.g., thesis or dissertation) and the teacher (e.g., improved teaching methods).
• 😀 The number of cycles in CAR depends on the success of the research. Generally, it can be stopped after two successful cycles, but it can continue if the desired results are not achieved.
• 😀 A cycle in CAR consists of four main stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection.
• 😀 If the goals are not achieved after two cycles, additional cycles may be needed until the issue is resolved, and the research objective is met.
• 😀 The maximum number of cycles is flexible and depends on the nature of the problem being researched and whether the objectives are met.
• 😀 Proper planning and the validation of research instruments, such as pretests, posttests, and observation sheets, are crucial to ensure the effectiveness and accuracy of the research.
• 😀 It's important to stay patient and flexible. If the objectives are not reached after two cycles, continue with further cycles until the desired outcomes are achieved.

Q & A

What is the purpose of Classroom Action Research (PTK)?

The purpose of PTK is to improve the quality of teaching in the classroom by identifying and addressing real issues. It involves collaboration between researchers and teachers to solve classroom problems effectively.

Why is collaboration with subject teachers important in PTK?

Collaboration with subject teachers is essential because they have direct knowledge of the real challenges in their classrooms. Researchers should work together with teachers to accurately identify the problems that need to be addressed.

What are the benefits of conducting PTK?

PTK helps in improving the quality of teaching, encourages innovation in teaching methods and materials, and enhances teachers' professional competencies. It also provides a valuable learning experience for both teachers and students.

What is the main objective of PTK?

The main objective of PTK is to improve teaching methods and the learning process by using feedback from students and teachers. The aim is to address any teaching challenges and improve overall classroom performance.

How can a teacher's competencies be improved through PTK?

PTK helps improve teachers' competencies in four key areas: pedagogical, professional, personality, and social competencies. The research focuses on enhancing teaching methods, managing emotions, and improving communication with students and other stakeholders.

What is the typical number of cycles required in PTK?

Typically, PTK involves two cycles. However, if the objectives are not achieved, additional cycles can be conducted. The number of cycles depends on whether the goals are met in each stage of the research.

What happens if the objectives are not met after two cycles?

If the objectives are not met after two cycles, researchers can add more cycles to improve the results. The research continues until the objectives are successfully achieved.

What is the importance of testing the research instruments in PTK?

Testing the research instruments, such as questionnaires and observation sheets, is crucial to ensure their validity. Valid instruments accurately measure the effectiveness of the research and help achieve reliable results.

What should researchers do if they observe significant drops in post-test results compared to pre-test results?

If there is a significant drop in post-test results, researchers should conduct another cycle to address the issues. This indicates that further adjustments or improvements are needed in the teaching approach.

How should researchers determine when to stop the PTK cycles?

Researchers should stop the PTK cycles when the objectives of the research have been achieved. The decision to stop is based on the effectiveness of the interventions and the success of reaching the desired goals.
