This document summarizes a research project that aimed to better understand undergraduate students' definitions and understanding of critical thinking. In the first phase, researchers surveyed 157 students asking them to define critical thinking. They found wide variation in students' definitions. In the second phase, they developed an assessment tool to help faculty gauge students' understanding based on common definitions from the survey. Faculty who piloted the tool found it useful. The researchers conclude that more student-centered research is needed to improve teaching critical thinking skills.

Translating Educational Research into Practice
Problem
For a long time, education research has not been able to impact classroom instructional practices and educational policies. Educational based researchers argue that their primary work is to research the various aspects of learning and teaching to then present their findings at various conferences and publishing them in different educational journals. Their busy schedule does not allow them to train practitioners (Powney & Watts, 2018). On the other hand, practitioners are busy concentrating on there, and they do not have time to review new literature. This brings up the question as to who is responsible for this gap. In the real sense, there should be a connection between the two, and both parties should play a role in bridging this gap.
Practices, Policies, and Procedures That Have Led to the Problem
There are various reasons for this persistent gap between the teaching practices that teachers use and the guidance that educational research provides. However, three of them stand out. They include the trustworthiness issue, teacher preparation issues, and the research practice issue. The trustworthiness issue comes in because much of the published educational research and disseminated to teachers, policymakers and researchers are often not good and of uneven quality. Research is incredibly demanding, and it is not always possible to choose the most appropriate methodological approach. It is essential that the methodology is applied rigorously whether it is for qualitative or quantitative research (Suter, 2012).
Teachers, on the other hand, want to provide quality education to their children. When they turn into research to aid in teaching, their main expectation is that the information they get is trustworthy. If the information is not trustworthy both the teacher and the student will fail terribly. The teachers also have to be prepared. The applicability and relevance of a research finding will be minimal if the administrators and teachers are unable to access the data, unable to develop strategies for implementing the research findings and do not understand or are unable to interpret the research findings in a meaningful and accurate manner (Fenwick, Edwards, & Sawchuk, 2012).
While teacher preparation and research trustworthiness play significant roles in determining the extent to which research informs instructional practices and educational policies, a fundamental problem is our inability to understand and identify an environment where the research findings can be applied in complex school systems as well as classrooms. While specific strategies, instructional models and approaches may be useful in a setting that is controlled, there is scanty information about the factors that impede or foster application of these modalities under varying contexts and among diverse teachers and students' pop.

CHAPTER 2 REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
Besides selecting a quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods approach, the proposal or study designer also needs to review the literature about a topic. This literature review helps to determine whether the topic is worth studying, and it provides insight into ways in which the researcher can limit the scope to a needed area of inquiry.
This chapter continues the discussion about preliminary considerations before launching into a proposal or project. It begins with a discussion about selecting a topic and writing this topic down so that the researcher can continually reflect on it. At this point, researchers also need to consider whether the topic can and should be researched. Then the discussion moves into the actual process of reviewing the literature; addressing the general purpose for using literature in a study; and then turning to principles helpful in designing literature into qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods studies.
THE RESEARCH TOPIC
Before considering what literature to use in a project, first identify a topic to study and reflect on whether it is practical and useful to undertake the study. The topic is the subject or subject matter of a proposed study, such as “faculty teaching,” “organizational creativity,” or “psychological stress.” Describe the topic in a few words or in a short phrase. The topic becomes the central idea to learn about or to explore.
There are several ways that researchers gain some insight into their topics when they are initially planning their research (our assumption is that the topic is chosen by the researcher and not by an adviser or committee member). One way is to draft a brief working title to the study. We are surprised at how often researchers fail to draft a title early in the development of their projects. In our opinion, the working or draft title becomes a major road sign in research—a tangible idea that the researcher can keep refocusing on and changing as the project goes on (see Glesne, 2015; Glesne & Peshkin, 1992). It becomes an orienting device. We find that, in our research, this topic grounds us and provides a sign of what we are studying, as well as a sign useful for conveying to others the central notion of the study. When students first provide their research project ideas to us, we often ask them to supply a working title if they do not already have one written down on paper.
How would this working title be written? Try completing this sentence: “My study is about . . .” A response might be, “My study is about at-risk children in the junior high,” or “My study is about helping college faculty become better researchers.” At this stage in the design, frame the answer to the question so that another scholar might easily grasp the meaning of the project. A common shortcoming of beginning researchers is that they frame their study in complex and erudite language. This perspective may result from reading published articles that have ...

Signature Pedagogies in Doctoral Education:
Are They Adaptable for the Preparation of
Education Researchers?
by Chris M. Golde
This article describes two practices that can be considered signature
pedagogies of doctoral education, one in neuroscience (the journal
club) and one in English studies (the list). The practices are routinely
found in these and neighboring disciplines but are not found in other
fields. The journal club and the list share the goal of acquainting students
with the literature of a field, but apart from that, they are very different.
In addition to teaching students to work with the literature, they serve
other pedagogical goals, including socializing students into disciplinary
norms and identities. Thus they serve as windows into the underlying
culture of their home disciplines. This article considers the value of
adapting these practices into education doctoral programs and offers
suggestions for how to modify the practices to suit education.

Chapter Introduction
Chapter Introduction
A new, fourth-grade teacher was anxious to use action research in the school where she had
been hired. She had conducted a successful project in her field placement, which had given
her great insight into student learning and her own practice. However, in her new school, she
found herself overwhelmed by state mandates in preparing students for the state assessment.
She knew the value of action research but wondered how she could possibly carry it out given
the new pressures she was under.
Action research is the systematic study of a real-life problem, in context, with the goal of inter-
vening into that problem. As action researchers, teachers typically identify and study a problem
of practice in their classroom and use the knowledge generated from the study to improve stu-
dent outcomes. Action research is a cyclical process of gathering information, analyzing and
drawing conclusions from the data collected, devising an action plan, and then repeating the
cycle to continually enhance practice (McNiff & Whitehead, 2006; Stringer, 2004, 2007). Unlike
other forms of research, action—and not simply knowledge production—is the primary goal of
the research.
The term action research is often attributed to German psychologist Kurt Lewin. Although
Lewin was not the first to use research to intervene into a specific problem, he was the first to
organize a widely accepted theory on the action research (Herr & Anderson, 2005). Initially,
action research was used to improve worker productivity, and Lewin used it to address two spe-
cific workplace issues: (a) discrimination against minority workers and (b) worker productivity.
Guided by organizational theory, Lewin believed that workers’ and managers’ behaviors could
be changed through action research, leading to improved working conditions and increased
productivity.
In the United States, action research among educational practitioners is grounded in the work
of John Dewey, who stressed the importance of human experience in generating knowledge.
Dewey argued that classroom research wou ...

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.

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.
