Academic Performance
Action Research Proposal 1
Course: Classroom Action Research
Proposal Topic: To determine the use of token economy strategy on the academic performance of grade nine Chemistry students.
Proposal Topic
To determine the use of token economy strategy on the academic performance of grade nine chemistry students.
Research Questions 1. What area of the Chemistry syllabus is more challenging for grade nine Chemistry students?
2. Does punctuality has to do with student’s under performance in chemistry?
Introduction This action research proposal is to determine the use of token economy strategy on the academic performance of grade nine chemistry students. Grade nine students mostly range from ages 14-15. Grade nine students are always required to do various subjects from all areas. I have noticed the level of under performance in Chemistry, so it came to my attention that there must be away to find out the real reason for this under performance and a suitable solution to solve this problem. I have decided to visit a prominent high school in the cooperate area to carry out a survey to find out the real reason underlying such problem. The school name will not be mentioned. Any problem or issue that is causing students to underperform can be rectified. So, I had chosen to use the token economy strategy to get to the students, to see if their performance level would build up. According to Ayllon, Teodoro 1999, token economy is a form of behavior modification designed to increase desirable behavior and decrease undesirable behavior with the use of tokens. Individuals receive tokens immediately after displaying desirable behavior. The tokens are collected and later exchanged for a meaningful object or privilege. So in this proposal, I will find out the main reasons for students underperformance in chemistry, I will also find out if token economy will be suitable or effective to make some changes in students underperformance.

From these slopers we had manipulated darts to form different styles and get different design. In this portfolio there are a variety of blouses, skirts and sleeves. It also consist of a sleep wear and a basic pants.
