The Mariano Marcos State University College of Teacher Education (MMSU CTE) is set to conduct BRIDGING THEORY AND PRACTICE 2.0: Intensive Bootcamp on Classroom-Based Action Research (CBAR) Proposal Writing for Pre-Service Teachers from October 12 to 16, 2026, as part of the college's continuing efforts to strengthen the research capability of its pre-service teachers.
Organized through the Field Study and Teaching Internship Program, the five-day bootcamp will bring together fourth-year Field Study students from the different academic programs of MMSU CTE for an intensive learning experience that connects educational theory, classroom-based research, and practical action.
The bootcamp will be implemented through three clusters: Cluster A, composed of BEEd and ECSNEd; Cluster B, composed of BSEd; and Cluster C, composed of TVLEd and HMAEd. The clustering is designed to provide a manageable learning environment, accommodate participants effectively, and allow each academic program to engage with CBAR topics, exemplars, and proposal development activities relevant to their respective fields and areas of research.
Moreover, it adopts the three-part learning sequence: LEARNโEXAMINEโCREATE.
During LEARN, students will engage in a series of plenary lectures focusing on the essential foundations of CBAR, including identifying classroom problems, developing research objectives, reviewing related literature, selecting appropriate interventions, designing the conceptual framework and methodology, preparing for data gathering, and ensuring the ethical use of AI in research writing.
The EXAMINE phase will give students the opportunity to study completed CBAR studies and learn from authentic research experiences. Featured presenters are MMSU CTE graduates from the previous school year whose CBAR outputs were recognized as exemplary during the CBAR Expo 2025. Through their presentations, these young researchers will share how they identified classroom concerns, developed appropriate interventions, and conducted systematic inquiry to address actual classroom needs. Their exemplary works will serve as concrete models that students can examine as they develop their own CBAR proposals.
The final phase, CREATE, will bring the learning directly into the studentsโ own research writing. Through guided workshops and faculty consultation, students will begin developing their own CBAR proposals, from identifying and narrowing classroom problems to formulating research questions, selecting interventions, designing methodologies, and aligning the different components of their proposed studies.
More than a training activity, the 2026 CBAR Bootcamp is envisioned as a bridge between what pre-service teachers learn in their courses and what they encounter in actual classrooms. Through expert input, authentic research exemplars, faculty guidance, and hands-on proposal development, students will be given the opportunity to move from simply understanding research concepts to using research as a tool for addressing real classroom concerns.
As the bootcamp approaches, MMSU CTE looks forward to an engaging week of learning, examining, creating, and collaborating, as its future teachers take another important step toward becoming reflective, evidence-informed, and research-oriented professionals.
