Title Journal Writing as a Tool to Evaluate the Implementation of Practical

Research I: Basis for Improvement in Learning Delivery
Problem Situation Research is a subject that the students find very difficult. This is not
without basis, however. As a researcher myself, conducting research
work is a daunting task. It requires time, effort, and appropriate skills to
finish a research project. As research teacher for the past three years, I
made necessary revisions in the way I deliver the subject. These
revisions were based on the year-end feedback of the students. But, I
have observed that there are problems that the students faced during
the conduct of their research work. I was not able to address this
because I lack a feedback mechanism that will let me acknowledge the
challenges and problems of the students during the conduct of their
research work.

This present study aims to evaluate the delivery of the Practical

Research I course through journal writing. This is an alternative
assessment tool that will serve as a learning log for the students. This
provides the students a space to write the challenges and problems
that they have faced as well as their learnings and reflections. These
information will serve as a basis on how to improve the learning
delivery of Practical Research I.
