The problems faced by teachers in starting classroom action research are the inability of the teacher to formulate a problem statement and how to design a class action. This condition causes low learning outcomes obtained by students.

The AFR model is implemented through workshop activities where the participants are a group of teachers. Each cycle in the CAR utilizes four phases of activities including planning, action, observing, and reflective. These stages continue until the problem is considered to have been resolved. After the workshop, teacher competence for cycle one was measured and found to be increase from 48.5 in the first lesson to 67.60 in the second lesson. Furthermore, it increased to 82.85 in the third lesson.
