Advantage:
It is a quick procedure for monitoring what happened in the lesson, where you write down what happened in the lesson, having a report form where you can compare with other teachers, marry conclusions and improve the teaching process.

Disadvantages:
There should be a lesson report form to be more effective where teaching activities are made clear, this requires time on the part of the teacher and continuity of the evaluation process.

Answer: Appropriate topic for the investigation is to identify the main focus of the lesson and the time that is assigned to each of the items to be taught and the estimated time for the development of the lesson by the students, for this reason it is important to take into account the lesson plan and thus be able to identify the lessons and the time spent on each lesson, thus making adjustments in the teaching methodology.

You are concerned about one of your students who always avoids sitting near the front of the class. This student seems to be paying attention, but rarely participates actively in lessons. You are not sure why. Since you have a large class, it is difficult for you to monitor individual students. You want to find out what this student's attitude is toward the class.

a.	Which of the procedures discussed in that activity would be most appropriate for gathering information about the situation selected: teaching journal, lesson reports, surveys and questionnaires, audio and video recording, or observation?I think that it would help me as a teacher to understand that specific student’s behaviour to create surveys and questionnaires for the students to develop in class, from which I could understand better why is this situation happening and have the opportunity to find different options that could encourage not only this specific student but all of them. By knowing what they prefer I could design my classes in many ways to motivate students to participate. With these activities I could find ideas and also get to the center of the situation why my student doesn’t want to sit up front or why doesn’t he participate actively in class.

Which of the issues in question 1 would be suitable for action research?I consider it would be interesting to investigate and do a research about "the most common reason why students don't participate actively in class". It would be challenging to find different articles or studies about this topic and being able to compare situations and conclusions about different research papers.

The topic of question 1 best suited for research action is:

a. You are concerned about your students’ attitudes toward English and toward language learning. You try to promote positive attitudes toward learning English. You wish to find out what your students’attitudes are and whether they change throughout the duration of a language course.

Because the research action is appropriate to introduce changes in the classes, such as implementing new strategies, more playful and dynamic activities in order to

encourage motivation and interest in learning in students. Keeping in mind that action research is teaching based research, as a way of understanding and improving teacher practice.

First you have to ask you Why do many of the teachers continue with the traditional education knowing that in the XXI century technological tools have come to the classroom to facilitate and complement teaching in a more didactic and precise way.  This problem has become the headache of education in Colombia since many of the teachers linked to official education ignore the call of the ministry of education to implement new technologies within classrooms.

b. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the procedure you selected? Which of the issues in question 1 would be suitable for action research?  Advantage: The advantages of applying surveys and questionnaires are those of being able to collect first-hand information which will be of great help when conducting research.                          Another advantage is that the information can be collected in a faster and more accurate way.     Disadvantages:                          The disadvantages of applying reviews and questionnaires are: If the surveys or questionnaires handle open questions, they can create difficulties when collecting the results.                               Another disadvantage would be that students do not analyze the question in depth and respond in a pertinent way.
