Action research involves teachers, students, and parents working together to solve problems in the classroom. It is a reflective process of progressive problem solving to improve situations. Some common problems teachers encounter include how to make learning more enjoyable, accommodate different needs, and encourage parental support. Action research involves both taking action, such as trying new teaching methods, and conducting research, such as analyzing student test scores, to evaluate the effects of changes. Allowing foreign investment and institutions in higher education can help address lack of funding, stop the outflow of students, and increase opportunities through competition and improved quality. However, there are also regulatory issues and concerns about decreased subsidies for marginalized groups that need to be addressed.

Alan Roberts: Student engagement in shaping Higher Education. Slides from the University of Liverpool Learning and Teaching Conference 2009.
In February 2009 the Centre for Higher Education Research and Information produced a report to HEFCE on student engagement in England. The study aimed to:
* Determine the current extent and nature of student engagement in higher education in England;
* Explore current models of formal and informal student engagement;
* Explore institutions’ rationales for student engagement policies and practices, their measures of effectiveness, and perceptions of barriers to effectiveness;
* Explore what institutions and sector bodies might learn from student engagement models operating in other countries
Liverpool Guild of Students, on behalf of the University of Liverpool, was one of the case study organisations. This session will be used to create discussion about student engagement in learning and teaching issues at the University.
Personal help given by others is called guidance. It shows the way as to how, when and where to do a work and accomplish the work properly with the guidance of others. It solves one’s problems in an direct way. The aim is that the problem will be solved if a person is directed properly. The growth of the individual is established.
Guidance is interpreted as a conscious, organized factor of the individual’s school environment that is designed, directly or indirectly, to assist him in his adjustment to all phases of living. It is the handmaid of mental hygiene in education.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Meaning of Action Research
A comparative research on the conditions and effects of
various forms of social action and research leading to social
action that uses a spiral of steps, each of which is composed
of a circle of planning, action, and fact-finding about the result
of the action.”
Kurt Lewin
It is a reflective process of progressive problem solving led by
individuals working with others in teams to improve the
situation or to solve problems. It can also be undertaken by
larger organizations or institutions, assisted or guided by
professional researchers, with the aim of improving their
strategies, practices, and knowledge of the environments
within which they practice.

4. What is Action Research?
Action: Teachers act with children, colleagues; and
parents. With experience, we fall prey to habits. We
do things in a certain way and rarely explore new
possibilities, better ways of teaching learning
situation.
Research: Classroom teachers conduct research
all of the time. We do on the job research such as
diagnose new students, prepare for a parent-
teacher interview, go over the student's work, test
results, and standardized test scores, etc.
