Popis: The action research is understood as a form of research focused on making a change according to the needs of the members of a specific social group. This article describes three interventions in high school teaching practice based on action research. The first intervention addresses the development of strategies to promote motivation in the classroom. This intervention was carried out establishing goal setting strategies based on Edwin Locke's theory, which states that the intention to reach a goal is a basic source of motivation. For the second intervention, the model based on the analysis and discussion of cases was implemented as a strategy with the objective of increasing interest and significant learning, this because of the identification of the exposure of monotonous classes based on a traditional model. In the third intervention it corresponds to a model of intervention in the teaching of health sciences, whose purpose is to promote motivation and awaken the interest of the student by not only addressing issues of science, but positively influencing the construction of new knowledge in high school students with respect to this area. As main results we can mention the improvement in cognition and social skills, the improvement in teacher's practice is highlighted through the intervention in each case, these changes are represented by an effective and creative teaching, better communication between teacher and students and detection of context needs. Finally, we conclude that the action research is a methodology that helps to increase the educational quality through the improvement of teaching practice.
