Abstract/Summary

This action research focuses on improving the coordination between the faculty and the students in implementing the Project- Based Learning method in the Senior High School (SHS) program of ACADEMY X. Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching pedagogy that focuses on a student-centered learning environment where learning takes place through projects that students undertake. The curriculum of the SHS program in ACADEMY X is centered on this method. Ravitz (2010) emphasized three factors in the implementation of PBL which is the need for supportive school leadership, structure, and culture as the major challenge in the PBL implementation is that “no teacher implement PBL in the same way” (Ravitz, 2010; Tamim & Grant, n.d.). The results of this action research highlights the 1) role of the organizational structure in facilitating coordination, 2) importance of good communication between faculty and students; and 3) good collaboration between the faculty. As an insider action research, this paper used the combination of first person, second, and third inquiry. My collaborators and I addressed the issue of coordination by clarifying the roles of the teachers in information dissemination to students, standardizing tools by which we disseminate information, facilitating communication and collaboration through regular meetings, and involving the faculty in project planning and implementation.
