Children of Drama is an arts-based educational action research project with five drama pedagogy actions, launched in 2019 at the University of Gävle, Sweden. It aimed to explore drama pedagogy’s personal and professional impacts on a group of in-service educators using Winnicott’s potential space theory. The results revealed that participants enriched their teaching method toolbox with drama pedagogical techniques and theories, fostering self-exploration and motivation to use drama in the classroom. Notably, the qualities of the drama pedagogical instructor and environment enhanced safety, inspiration, and engagement. This study contributes to research in drama pedagogy and educators’ arts-based professional development.

This chapter proposes a dialogue between two methodological traditions: Latin American critical Participatory Action Research (PAR) and the dialogic-generative perspective developed by Dora Fried Schnitman. Drawing on a rereading of Orlando Fals Borda, the chapter argues that participation is not a technique or methodological strategy but a practical ontology that redefines the place of social actors in the production of knowledge. In dialogue with this tradition, the generative perspectiveinspired by Gergen's social constructionism, Bakhtin's dialogism, and the paradigms of complexity-understands knowledge as a relational and emergent process, produced in the conversational space between people. The chapter explores the differences and confluences between both perspectives through a systematic comparison: while critical PAR is rooted in the historicity of social struggles and structural transformation, the generative approach contributes a grammar of emergence oriented toward the co-creation of possible futures. The argument is illustrated through the author's own research experience with Caribe Afirmativo, a Colombian organization that produced thirteen LGBTQ+ memory reports for Colombia's Truth Commission (2020-2022). Through generative dialogues sustained with activists who participated in that process, the author shows how dialogue became a practice of political and epistemic transformation: the activists' accounts were not static records of the past, but acts of re-existence that opened collective horizons and strengthened organizational capacity. The chapter concludes with a proposal for a relational ethics of knowing, arguing that researching in contexts of violence entails listening before defining, decentering the researcher, affirming imagination as a political dimension, and tending to bonds as part of knowledge production.

This research is motivated by the low student learning outcomes in social studies learning in the third class of MIS Handapherang Buy and Sell. In addition, students' lack of interest in social studies learning is due to teacher-centered learning not to students. So that social studies are considered saturated and boring lessons. In an effort to improve student learning outcomes, researchers used the Learning Strategy to Increase Thinking Ability (SPPKB). The method used is the class action research method (PTK) model of Kurt Lewin. Data collection techniques used are observation, test or assessment techniques and description analysis techniques. After conducting research, the results of the study can be obtained as follows: 1) The ability of teachers to design social studies learning plans in the first cycle is 84; cycle II is 87; cycle III is 92.1. 2) The skills of teachers in teaching in the first cycle amounted to 84.6; cycle II is 89.4; the third cycle is 93.3. 3) Student learning outcomes in the first cycle of 72.5; cycle II is 86.6; cycle III is 95. This proves that SPPKB can improve student learning outcomes on social studies subjects in the class III MIS Buy and Sell Handapherang. The results of the analysis indicate that the proposed hypothesis is acceptable.

As a result of the study, the empowered women coordinate several health service delivery programs for their community members and financially support their own families. The study can be concluded that women empowerment is an effective tool to improve the QoL of the community.

Linear Friction Welding (LFW) is a relatively new process adopted by aircraft engine manufacturers operationalizing new technologies to produce better value components. With increasing fuel prices and economical drives to reduce CO2 emissions, LFW has been a key technology in recent years for aircraft engine manufacture in both commercial and military market sectors. ate process which gives reproducibility and high quality bonds therefore improving performance. A fault detection and isolation (FDI) model of the LFW machine has been developed in in order to detect and predict common machine faults. The purpose of this research investigation is to develop a bespoke value improvement model (VIM) for the LFW repetitive process identifying the critical influencing factors whether human, machine system or both-to achieving the customer requirements, successful FDI model implementation and user uptake. Action research and case study intervention will be implemented at the Rolls-Royce site enabling the combination of hard systems (the FDI model) and soft systems (VIM model) to be effectively utilized to develop a holistic model (lfw-VIM). Outcomes of the research show the VIM approach can be used to aid successful change management and the implementation of a complex system.

This paper reports on a case study into the contribution of podcasting to the curriculum transformation of two distance-taught master's programmes. Both programmes attract work-based Occupational Psychology practitioners, most of whom are in full-time employment. Challenges faced by the course team included adding flexibility to the curricula, increasing learner engagement (both with learning materials and feedback) and reducing learner isolation. As part of a coordinated enhancement effort, which included changes to curriculum design and delivery, 59 podcasts were introduced into the curriculum over a 12-month period. Qualitative and quantitative data were gathered from students and staff throughout the study. Action research ensured a regular flow of relevant evidence informing each stage of the renewal process. Evidence suggested that the students' learning experiences improved as a result of four key benefits associated with the integration of podcasting in learning design: personalisation; an additional and different format for providing clear and engaging guidance, support and feedback; increased flexibility and mobility within the curricula; and 'design once, deliver many times' with minimum adaptation.

The purpose of this participatory action research was to develop and evaluate an Occupational Health Hazards Reduction Program in the wood furniture industry. Research participants included 83 workers, the owner of a wood furniture factory, and an occupational health nurse responsible for worker health in San Kam Phaeng District in Chiang Mai Province, Northern Thailand. The study involved two main phases: 1) collaboratively developing and implementing the Program and an action plan with participants, and revising the plan until the Program was appropriate for the work context; and 2) evaluating Program implementation, by using the Workplace Hazards and Safety-based Behaviors Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-Square test. The Program, collaboratively developed by the participants and the researchers, and consisted of: 1) interactive safety training on building the capacity of lead workers to communicate the importance of using personal protective equipment; and 2) establishing and posting safety rules and regulations in work areas. An evaluation of program effectiveness was performed at weeks 8 and 16 following program implementation. Results indicated that the personal protective equipment use significantly increased from baseline (p<.01), and that a collaborative effort involving management and workers was effective in reducing risk and increasing safety-based workplace behaviors. Collaborative efforts created a sense of 'ownership' and 'partnership' by working together. We conclude that a participatory approach can be used by occupational health nurses and health and safety workers to resolve similar or different occupational health problems in other wood factories.

The literature on action research and how it should be applied is extensive. However, this chapter is not intended to be a substitute for or to provide a synopsis of the substantial body of literature on action research. Its aim is instead to show the potential benefits of this underutilised research approach in heritage management research. Although there are many varieties of action research, the major elements of action research processes are action, research, and participation. Action research has a collaborative social change agenda, with democratic transformation being achieved through the participation of professional researchers and practitioners. It bridges the divide between the outsiders (researchers) and insiders (stakeholders), and differs from many conventional research strategies in that it identifies a problem and attempts to provide a solution that leads to a change in the community or organisation. The case study on developing a public programming strategy for archival institutions in South Africa presented in this chapter illustrates this point.

Big data analytics is regarded as the next frontier in creating digital opportunities for businesses. Analytics projects rarely deliver the intended benefits for the organisation that invest in these data analytics, and currently, no widely accepted design method for analytics projects exists. To address this, we report from an action research project in an organisation highly involved with big data analytics and how benefits materialize from these projects through the practices of tailored and focused benefits management. We argue for using the benefits dependency network for orchestrating commitment to benefits. Benefits dependency networks create linkages between analytics technology, organisational change activities, stakeholders' interests and to-be benefits of a project. With this study, we contribute with: (1) a tailored technique for benefits dependency networks, (2) focus on benefits into established project development practices for big data analytics (3) facilitation as a key capability in developing a benefits dependency network.

Pre-service biology teachers must apply Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) acquired at university in real classroom situations to utilize the instructional potential of digital technologies for teaching biology. So far, there is little evidence on how pre-service biology teachers translate TPACK into teaching practice. The present study addresses this gap by accompanying 42 pre-service biology teachers in planning, implementing, and reflecting on a biology lesson as part of their internship semester at school. Data were collected via written lesson plans, videotaped lesson observations, and stimulated-recall reflection interviews and evaluated by applying a sequential explanatory mixed-method design. The results indicate that pre-service biology teachers enact their TPACK by focusing on technology with the content of the subject receding into the background. In addition, pre-service biology teachers focus particularly on aspects that serve to structure the lesson, rather than on aspects of student activation. The use of emerging technologies in the classroom seems to lead to insecurity among pre-service biology teachers for various reasons, whereby surface characteristics and structuring lesson aspects are focused. Within the sample, we can distinguish between two types of TPACK enactment: the split-focus type separates between content and technology, whereas the novelty-focus type systematically links content and technology, utilizing the technology as a tool for subject teaching.

This paper describes my development of a useful, descriptive model that one-to-one practitioners could use to analyse transcripts of their sessions, design new strategies and even test them out. Further, this work has the potential to offer a framework that students, patients, clients and colleagues could use to communicate the types of interactions they prefer. The narrative in my educational life around the domain of heuristic generates a living-educational-theory as a values-based explanation for my educational influences as a tutor. The living contradictions I encounter, and praxes I make up to help me imagine solutions, are portrayed visually and verbally; and this leads to my proposal of a five-cycle living visual taxonomy of learning interactions. I consider the application of my living-educational-theory to other domains, for example, confidence; and to power dynamics, autism support, student engagement, expert behaviour, external influences, understanding negative feedback,...

This special issue explores how agency can be mobilized to challenge language mediated inequalities (Bucholtz et al., 2014; Zavala, 2019). It seeks to contribute to ongoing debates on agency within the field of Critical Language Policy and Planning (CLPP) (Tollefson, 1991; Bouchard & Glasgow, 2018; Lim et al., 2018; Glasgow & Bouchard, 2019; Liddicoat & Taylor-Leech, 2021, among others), and to advance the development of a critical sociolinguistic theory of agency. More specifically, it examines the potential of participatory methodologies to foster creativity and resistance in response to sociolinguistic inequality, with the ultimate aim of transforming dominant language regimes.

To face global competition, proper preparation, and superior and qualified human resources are needed. The characteristics of a quality individual are being able to be independent, willing, and capable. Efforts that can be made in forming independent and capable individuals are by training and forming students to develop their self-regulated learning. In learning mathematics, fostering the affective domain requires self-regulated learning which will then form a strong tendency which is called a mathematical disposition. To increase student self-regulated learning, teachers can modify learning, one of which is through the use of learning multimedia. This research is a quantitative study using quasi-experimental methods and the research design used is a static group comparison. The subjects of this study were class VII students at MTs Bilingual Muslimat NU Sidoarjo. Students were divided into two groups: the experimental group consisted of 31 people and the control group consisted of ...

The effect of gadget media-based teacher communication strategies in the covid 19 period on student learning motivation. This study aims to determine the communication of gadget mediabased teachers during the Covid-1 9 period on student learning motivation. This research uses a quantitative approach with aquasi-experimental research research. The population in this study was grade V students of SD Negeri Pacinang Makassar, the essay used in this study was the Pre-test Posttest nonequivalent control group design. Research instruments in the form of questionnaires, student observation sheets, and documentation to test hypotheses using paired sample t-tests. Data analysis is carried out by analysis of descriptive statistical data and inferential statistics. The results of the study in the control class obtained an average pretest value of 51.15 while the average posttest value of 58.45 was still lower than the experimental class. The average score of the experimental class in the pretest was 84.35 while the posttest value was 89.50. Based on the results of the hypothesis test, it is known that the paired t-test results obtained by the level of Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.000< 0.05. Thus, it can be seen that there is an influence of media g-adget teacher communication strategies during the Covid-19 period on student learning motivation.

The increasing environmental concerns call for deep renewals in existing technologies and traditional design solutions in many industries. Electric Vehicle (EV) is emblematic of such a radical shift. Based on case studies and an action research within an on going project, this article analyses how project-based learning can question such a dominant design. After a brief history of past EV failures, we focus on what should be addressed to prevent the current projects from being just another bubble. We characterize the four projects-based learning patterns experimented in the 1990s and 2000s: concept car projects, derivative projects, vanguard development projects, and multi-projects concurrent programs. We analyse how the last two project-based learning patterns succeed to address the dominant design renewal challenges. We demonstrate that they develop different linkages between innovative projects and permanent departments of the firms. We show that multi-project concurrent program reduces dramatically the deployment lead-time of the new industrial paradigm.
