We in a fact of Indonesia educator have been struggling in major of educational human resources, which come-up of the research methodology as a burden science aspect. In addition, the primidone of research method in education system was classroom action research and/or action research. This means, educator tend to conduct an action research for the safe zone rather than scaffold to another marry research method, outside of main research method. In other word, we can said that they want to play in safe level or action research for them, it is a concreate method that guaranteed-facilitated teaching and learning to achieve the best improvement. However, in fact, because of their research behaviour it will cause a hinder point such as in the pandemic, which someone unable or lack of research methodology paradigms, he or she will stuck or in crucial situation can be lost of knowledge development. Directly, student’s will lost their improvement, and whole system of education. In further, by the purpose of this paper to reconstructed-and promoted research capacity of Indonesia educator through enlightens the knowledge of survey and case study uses, researcher concluded that, both survey and case study, were accordance to educational research foundation, which postulated to develop in sustainable capacity of educational human resources also administration. So that like in pandemic outbreak, besides conducting an action research, educators were able to synthesize-analyse-evaluate-develop knowledge based also teaching and learning, to meet the goal of national education.

This case study evaluates a new initiative to establish a cross-disciplinary forum focusing on enhancing learning, teaching and the student experience. All staff and students are welcome to participate and participants set the agenda themselves. The intention is to have open and informal dialogue and to work in partnership towards setting up collective participatory action-research projects. This is modelled on the Teaching and Learning Academy at Western Washington University (Werder and Otis, 2010). An important aim was to create a space to give voice for those - the so-called ‘hard to reach’- who do not get such opportunities in traditional structures. There have been many challenges to creating a sustainable and successful working model, not least such barriers as communications, creating time and opportunity and working against current dominant cultures. Nonetheless, staff and students, including many international students, have participated and found legitimacy to discuss their own priorities.

Conflicting Interests

Decision-making in many standardization committees is consensus-based, but this can be difficult to achieve if stakeholders have conflicting interests. This article develops an approach to consensus-building in standardization by applying the Harvard method of negotiation to standardization. The authors apply this method in a single case study using action research. The case concerns the first meeting of a national standardization committee aimed at preparing national input for a new ISO standard on sustainable wood. Some stakeholders were in favor of a new standard, others opposed it strongly. Consensus was achieved during the first meeting by adopting the Harvard method and by adding a role play exercise. This outcome is promising for similar standardization cases. Both topic and research method are new in standardization research.

The Capability Approach

The aim of this paper is to analyse participatory video as a participatory action research method through the lenses of the capability approach. In order to do this, we used a participatory video experience that took place in the municipality of Quart de Poblet (Valencia, Spain) from February to March 2014. The participants were 11 young people between 16 and 24 years of age, severely affected by the economic crisis that has hit Spain in recent years. To develop our analysis, we introduced the participatory video as a technique and a process within the participatory action research methods. Then, we analysed the participatory process to verify the extent to which it had contributed to expanding the capabilities and agency of the participants. The evidence revealed a significant expansion of the awareness capability and, in some cases, of the capability for voice. In contrast, the capability to aspire and the agency of the participants were not expanded, due to contextual factors and the limitations of the process itself.

The action research method of appreciative inquiry (AI) was employed to develop a teaching tool. This exercise involves students’ reflections on a course, noting when they learned the most. The AI process of appreciating, envisioning, dialoging, and innovating is used to help students reflect on how they learn. Instructors of all types of courses at both the undergraduate and master’s degree levels gain understanding of student learning and ideas on how to improve courses. The exercise and sample responses from students are provided to demonstrate how the exercise works. Three variations are presented: mapping the exercise onto Kolb’s learning styles, running the exercise at the midpoint of a course, and a case study of an AI implementation in an organization.
