Writing Resources

This chapter provides strategies for successfully completing writing projects with the support of the community through personal and professional development support. This type of support is established through education, social development, and action planning. Individuals and groups often feel that writing is a solo activity and fail to seek additional resources, but writing is part of the larger community. Writing is the craft of art that is distributed to the community in various forms. Literature related to writing resources, personal, and professional development is reviewed. The authors explain the psychology of inspiration through its etymology, from the word for breathing in. They then recommend a framework for creating writing inspiration, which includes becoming the expert, engaging the interest, developing the objectives, and promoting the concept.

Information Support System

The Navy has an impressive record in the application of instructional technology to the design, development, and delivery of training. An information support system is being designed within the Naval Education and Training Command to optimize the application of instructional technology, resulting in increased efficiencies in training, personnel utilization, and professional development for the Navy enlisted force. The Naval Enlisted Professional Development Support System (NEPDISS) will be based upon specific tasks performed by enlisted personnel and will display a complete audit trail from job requirements to subsequent appraisal of task performance on the job. Inherently, it will furnish objectively derived data upon which management and enlisted man alike can base decisions.

Development Course

Action research promotes teaching and learning as it may allow teachers to explore areas of their practices that require improvement. The purpose of this case study is to highlight the steps involved in carrying out action research and any challenges that teachers may encounter in this learning process. This study was developed as a professional development course from 2015 to 2019 attended by more than 150 teachers from early years, primary and secondary schools in London and Kent in the last 4 years. The teachers were registered as students at the University of Greenwich and supported by a university team of researchers. The study identified five steps of the development of teacher-led action research and highlighted the challenges for each step. The steps included defining the field of action; planning; action; evaluation and reflection/(re)planning. This led to the development of an innovative model for the facilitation of action research and collaboration between the university team and participants. The model is used as a framework to enhance the development of teacher-led research in schools.Keywords: action research, teacher-led research, models, collaboration

Positive Effect

The following discussion focuses on dispositions connected with capitalism and socialism that have characterized Russian societal structures for decades. It points to the construction of both the economic and social system in Russia as predominantly achieved through repressive forms of ruling. Within the population this generated a disposition of extremely low trust in the system, based on the creation of networks through security measures. Since the category of trust is an important basis for anonymous trade and its legal framing in a functional market economy, the article argues that a fundamental difficulty exists for the economic progression of the Russian Federation. The paper lays out why and how professional development can support individuals to become competent and self-directed players, and how this could have a positive effect on the construction of an economically viable civil society in Russia. A reflective-transformative concept of professional development could be conceived and realized as a contribution to overall social development.
