Ms. Devi, a high school teacher, observes that her students struggle with critical thinking in history lessons. She decides to initiate an action research project. What would be the MOST appropriate first step for Ms. Devi to take immediately after identifying this problem?

Accepted Answer

B. Collect data on current student performance in critical thinking through observations, surveys, or assignments. — After identifying a problem, the first crucial step in action research is to gather relevant data to understand the problem in depth and establish a baseline.
