Action Research – A Learning Tool that engages Complexity

In action research, the particular focus is on the subject of the research also being a learner from the research outcome. The Kemmis Model (Cyclical Model of Action Research) introduced the notion that ‘all teachers are learners’ and ‘all learners can be teachers’. Action research emphasizes the notion of self-observation and self-reflection. However, observation and self-reflection are challenging methods that value the personal nature of learning.

The 6 Types of Content Will Boost Your Traffic and Engagement

Are you challenging yourself to come up with new ideas and new ways of imparting information about your business? Are you experimenting with the different forms of content that your customers may like to read? We’d love to help you get there. The 2015 edition of the annual B2C Content Marketing Benchmarks, Budgets and Trends—North America report put together by the Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs found that while 69% of marketers are creating more content than they were a year ago, only 27% have a strategy that is documented. That said, content is booming with 65% of respondents saying they’re better converting visitors on their websites and 62% saying they’re creating more engaging and higher-quality content.

Maybe you don’t have as much choice as you think. One excellent way to bring a dinner party to a close, if it’s late and you’d like your guests to leave, is to raise the philosophical question of “free will”.

Maybe you don’t have as much choice as you think

Do we have any? It certainly seems that way. Suppose I’m at the supermarket, about to reach for a jar of blackcurrant jam: surely it’s within my power to change my mind and switch to apricot? Yet some philosophers say it isn’t. After all, every molecule in the universe – including those in my limbs and brain – is subject to the laws of physics: A causes B, B causes C, in predictable ways (with some randomness thrown in, courtesy of quantum mechanics). This is an outrageous thought, so the usual response is to reject it – or, in the dinner party scenario, suddenly to remember you’ve an early start tomorrow. Taken individually, these effects aren’t surprising. Is this lack of autonomy a cause for alarm or relief?
