This chapter analyzes two types of women entrepreneurship in rural México. The first type seeks to determine the successes and failures undertaken by women at a rural business financed by a state program and the second type seeks to reflect the importance of social capital in the establishment and growth of cooperatives in Mexico, specifically the cooperative Las Chiquihuitecas, producer of cochineal insect (Dactylopius coccus Costa). The research method used in both cases was totally qualitative applying the documentary analysis and the interview in depth as an instrument for the collection of the information. It is obtained that social capital has been the key element in the formation and development of women businesses. The study concludes that the practical knowledge of the entrepreneurs and the lack of social capital in these cases are not sufficient to direct the businesses to success, and that the lack of structured knowledge and adequate scientific support for this project strongly directed towards the non-permanence on the market.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji kearifan lokal komunitas sebagai modal sosial dalam manajemen bencana alam untuk memperoleh gambaran secara utuh tentang makna substantif dari komunitas, kearifan lokal dan manajemen bencana alam. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan yang bersifat kualitatif. Terbentuknya komunitas tidak terlepas dari kebutuhan individu untuk berada dalam rasa aman dan memiliki mekanisme pertahanan ketika menghadapi situasi yang membahayakan. Komunitas mengembangkan suatu pengetahuan untuk memahami cara kerja alam, dan kemudian mengikutinya, serta berupaya menghindari apa yang dapat mengancam keselamatan. Kearifan lokal seharusnya dimaknai sebagai pengetahuan komunitas tentang keadaan setempat, atau kearifan setempat, yaitu pengetahuan yang menjawab situasi setempat, yang mana di tempat lain tidak ada. Suatu manajemen bencana alam perlu memperjelas kedudukan komunitas, serta memberi ruang gerak komunitas untuk menggunakan seluruh modal utama yang dimilikinya, yaitu diri (komunitas) dan kearifannya. This study aims to examine the local wisdom of the community as social capital in the management of natural disasters to obtain a full picture of the substantive meaning of the community, local wisdom and management of natural disasters. The research method used is descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The formation of a community is inseparable from the individual's need to be in a sense of security and to have a defense mechanism when facing a dangerous situation. The community develops a knowledge to understand how nature works, and then follows it, and seeks to avoid what can threaten safety. Local wisdom should be interpreted as community knowledge about local conditions, or local wisdom, namely knowledge that answers the local situation, which is not available elsewhere. A management of natural disasters needs to clarify the position of the community, and provide space for the community to use all the main capital they have, namely themselves (the community) and their wisdom.

Action research (AR) as a research method has been recommended in the process of educating foreign language (FL) teachers as well as developing their teaching skills for decades. Many teacher education experts, including Elliott (1991) are of the opinion that the method contributes to teachers’ professional develpoment as they can extend their theoretical knowledge of the processes of learning and teaching through gaining the practical knowledge. Moreover, action research evokes the need for reflection upon one’s teaching activities. One may wonder whether FL teacher-practitoners apply AR in their teaching and how, if at all, it influences their classroom teaching. In order to learn about it, the author of the article conducted a questionnaire which provides interesting information about FL teachers’ attitude towards AR. The article aims at promoting AR as well as encouraging FL teachers and teacher-trainees to use the method in their work.
