Congress Objectives

​

Action Research is a process of inquiry to put value on improvement in a community of practice. Visualizing changes and constructs in the post development period call for a continuous development in teaching platform through action research. With this vision in mind, action research is a potent mechanism to achieve educational reforms, through the changes effected based on the teachers’ own edicts. It is against this backdrop that ARAL Congresses have been framed to improve competencies, skills, and knowledge. ARAL Congresses serve as a venue to address a range of critically important issues and themes relating to action research and action learning. Incidentally, the congress acronym ARAL is a Filipino term which means lesson. ARAL Congress, therefore, intends to provide the participants with lessons that will enable them to have:

​

a) a deeper appreciation of the need and importance of action research;

b) a thorough understanding of the different approaches and methodologies in conducting action research; and

c) a continuous motivation to enhance teaching practices, programs, and procedures.
