Action research is a process where teachers systematically examine their own practices to improve student learning and the classroom environment. It involves identifying an issue, developing a plan to address it, implementing changes, collecting data, analyzing the results, and iterating the process as needed. Benefits include improved teaching practices and collaboration between teachers. Limitations can include lack of time, research skills, and institutional support.
Action research is a type of social research initiated to solve an immediate problems, led by individuals working in teams with others. It involves the process of actively participating in an organization change situation whilst conducting research.

main objectives of the course are
1) To diminish the separation between Scientist and teachers in the understanding of
Science.
2) To stimulate and prepare those high school students who planned to continue the
study of Chemistry in College in preparation for a professional career.
The materials produced under this project consists of a text, laboratory manual ,
teachers guide, two self instruction programmes two series of achievement tests,
26 basic films and 27 teacher training films.
Chemical Bond Approach (CBA)
CBA course was originated in 1959. Lawrence Strong was the founder of this
project. In CBA theory precedes practical work, ie, it is deductive in approach.
Important texts are Chemical system and investigating Chemical system. The concept of
bonding forms the central theme in C.B.A. The whole course is planned in such a
manner that experiments suggest the ideas to be tested and ideas to be tested suggest the
experiments to be setup.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. What is not Action Research?
Action research is not what usually comes to mind when we hear the
word “research”. Action research is not a library project where we
learn more about a topic that interests us. It is not about doing
research on or about people, or finding all available information on a
topic looking for the correct answers. It is not what we call ‘’a
conventional research’’ where we generally answer the question
‘’what is happening?’’ and we take a hypothesis and try to develop
it.
Definition
4. What is Action Research?
Action research is a process in which participants examine their own
educational practice systematically and carefully. It is a form of
investigation used by teachers to attempt to solve problems and
improve professional practices in their own classrooms. Teachers
are continually observing students, collecting data and changing
practices to improve the student learning and the classroom and
school environment. It provides a framework that guides teachers
toward a better understanding of why, when, and how students
become better learners. It involves people working to improve their
skills, techniques, and strategies.
5. Objectives
Teachers conduct an action research to:
• Support their professional development.
• Reflect on and assess their teaching process.
• Explore and test new ideas, methods, and materials.
• Assess how effective the approaches used were.
• Improve the professional practice through continual learning and
progressive problem solving.
• Know what is actually happening in their classrooms, what learners
are thinking, why learners are reacting in the ways they do.
6. •Know what aspects of the classroom they should focus on to
develop their teaching most effectively.
•Identify problems and seek solutions systematically.
•To get feedback as to the success or failure of what they are doing.
7. Types
Individual Action Research:
Individual action research is a research conducted by one teacher.
This type of research is conducted to analyze a specific issue in the
classroom. It may seek solutions to problems of classroom
management, instructional strategies, use of materials, or student
learning.
8. Collaborative Research:
Collaborative research involves two or more teachers studying a
topic. The topic may involve a single classroom or a common
problem shared by classrooms. Typically, a group of students, larger
than just one class, are tested, and the results are analyzed,
interpreted, adjusted.
9. School-Wide Research:
Action research programs are generally created from a problem
found within an entire school. For this type of action research, a
school may have concerns about a school-wide problem. The entire
staff works together through this research to study the problem,
implement changes, and correct the problem or increase
performance. Teams work together to narrow the question, gather
and analyze data, and decide on a plan of action.
10. Steps
Before teachers plan the steps in their action
research process, they will need to take into
consideration some conditions:
•Openness
•Ability to listen
•Ability to see things differently
•Willingness to share knowledge
•Desire for change/improvement
•Availability and ability to negotiate
11. PDSA Cycle: (Plan-Do-Study-Act)
A Plan, Do, Study, Act Cycle is a systematic process for making
improvements in services. It is a way to break down the change
process into manageable pieces. By breaking them into manageable
steps, teachers can determine whether or not it is moving you
towards improvement.
12.
13.
• Define the opportunity for improvement
• Gather data to describe the processes as they are currently working
• Identify causes or problems
14. • Develop a plan for improvement
• Implement the plan
17. It is possible that there may be several PDSA cycles running
sequentially. Cycles are repeated as needed until the desired goal is
achieved .
18. Overview
Steps in Conducting Action Research:
1- Identify the Problem Area:
• Determine and describe the current situation
• Discuss
• Negotiate
• Explore opportunities
• Assess possibilities
• Examine constraints
19. 2- Review Literature:
• Become familiar with other research done on the area of focus
• Use the findings of others to help develop the plan
• Apply research findings through the lens of others’ experience
3- Collect Data:
• Using a variety of data collection strategies, gather information that
will contribute to the findings
• Triangulate: interviews, diaries, surveys, case studies, audio tapes,
participant observation…
• Data should be analyzed as it is collected
20. 4- Organize, Analyze, and Interpret Data:
• As the data is collected, it is organized and analyzed.
• As new perspectives are gained on the original area of focus, the
problem statement may change.
• Interpretation is based on ongoing analysis and continually
reviewing the area of focus.
5- Take Action and Apply Findings:
• Draw conclusions from the data analyzed
• Translate conclusions into actions or behaviors
• Plan how to implement the actions or behaviors
• Do it.
21. Benefits
• Action research allows teachers to grow and gain confidence in their
work. It develops their thinking skills, sense of efficacy, willingness
to share and communicate, and attitudes toward the process of
change.
• Through action research, teachers learn about themselves, their
students, their colleagues, and can determine ways to continually
improve.
• Action research in pairs or by teams of teachers allows time to talk
with others about teaching and teaching strategies. By working on
these teams, teachers must describe their own teaching styles and
strategies and share their thoughts with others. Through these
discussions with colleagues they develop stronger relationships.
22. • As the practice of action research becomes part of the school
culture, we see increased sharing and collaboration across
departments, disciplines, grade levels, and schools.
• It improves communication. Teachers are brought together for a
shared purpose. Educators involved in action research become more
flexible in their thinking and more open to new ideas.
23. Limitations
Teachers wishing to conduct research into their
own classrooms, however, are faced with some
problems:
•Lack of time.
•Lack of expertise or skills in research. (it can cause more problems,
low reliability, low validity)
•Lack of support especially from within their own institution.
24. Conclusion
Action research is an important area for the teachers. It is seen
as a significant tool to empower the teacher and also act as the tool
for the reflection for his or her own practices. The action research is
a systematic process involving various steps from the identification
of the problem to the conclusions and decision making.
