However, certain controls for internal validity could not be address as this was a single-group quasi-experimental study (i.e., level of sensitization of preservice teachers to desired outcomes).

The first approach is cognitively guided instruction where teaching is most effective when new knowledge is linked to existing knowledge and that teacher will be more aware what tasks student could perform with their knowledge. The second approach is theory of constructivism where understanding of problems are constructed personally and students will solve problems in ways that made sense to them. From here, they can catch the instruction of individual needs and the abilities of children. Children also benefit from the interview process because they can receive immediately the specific feedback on their performance from teachers, correct misunderstanding and improve skills.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">(D) SUMMARY OF THE JOURNALS</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Journal #1</span> :<br />~~ Preservice teachers work to develop a develop a better understanding of how to address the needs of diverse used.

Some of the definitions include references to action research being cyclical, collaborative and constructivist, depending of which particular school of action research the author owes allegiance.<br /><br />.:: <span style="font-size:180%;">N</span>one of this, in author views, has to be overly complicated. In this book, the author were using pedagogical action research concept. The principle of pedagogical action research is very clear that is to improve some aspect of the student learning experience. Put more formally, the fundamental purpose of pedagogical action is to systematically investigate one's own teaching / learning facilitation practice with the dual aim of modifying practice and contributing to theoretical knowledge.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">WHY TEACHERS NEED TO IMPLEMENT IT..?</span><br /><br />.:: <span style="font-size:180%;">T</span>he book is practical as guidance for teachers, who need to carry out action research by their own practice. The accessible text illustrates what might be done to improve teaching or supporting learning by carrying out action research to address questions such as:<br /><br />~~ What the teachers can do to help their own students..?<br />~~ What they can do to help their students become more analytical..?<br />~~ How can they help their students to link theory with the practice..?<br />~~ What can they do to make their lecturing style more flexible..?<br />~~ What is going wrong in their seminars when the students fall asleep..?<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">WHAT DESIGN HAS BEEN USED BY THE AUTHOR..?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Model</span><br /><br />.:: <span style="font-size:180%;">T</span>he author has used a framework basis model proposed by Fanghanel (2007), which she based on an interview study with 18 lecturers from 15 different institutions. The framework is an useful shorthand device for thinking about the difficulties that colleagues sometimes face when doing a pedagogical action research study.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Sample / Participant</span><br /><br />.:: <span style="font-size:180%;">I</span>n the book, there were five cases that have been considered and identified as pedagogical issues. All participants are university lecturers with different background.<br /><br />1) Angela : Inspired to improve feedback<br />2) Berit : Concerned by innumeracy<br />3) Charles : Confronted with an under performing module<br />4) Delyth : Adapting to needs of dyslexic students<br />5) Eric : Bridging the gap between theory and practice<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Research Settings</span><br /><br />.:: <span style="font-size:180%;">T</span>he author has drawn on the literature and also on five hypothetical vignettes showing how individual academics keen to take some action to address a pedagogical issue.

In the book the author have made some assumptions about the readers. He has assumed that the readers are interested in the concept of researching their own teaching but that they are also concerned about fitting it in with all the other demands of their academic role. He used the term of 'academic' to include anyone in higher education who has a role in facilitating student's learning rather then to refer solely to those who are described as lecturers, tutors or university teachers, since so many personnel can influence and research the quality of student's learning.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">WHAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED IN THE BOOK..?</span><br /><br />.:: <span style="font-size:180%;">T</span>he book is organized into two sections: the theoretical and the practical, either of which can be read independently, so for the readers who are keen to get on with the practical aspects of doing an action research study, a good starting point is at Chapter 5. For those who has fair amount of experiences with action research but would like some theoretical underpinnings, they may prefer to start with Chapter 1.<br /><br />.:: <span style="font-size:180%;">I</span>n this first section, which includes Chapter 1 to 4, the author has made a case for pedagogical action research in higher education where there is still an uncomfortable divide between research and teaching, and where the former is more highly rewarded. The author has incorporated some reflective questions in each of these chapters.<br /><br />.:: <span style="font-size:180%;">I</span>n Chapter 1, the author begin with considering some of the pressures that face those of readers who teach or support student learning in universities. This is important because we cannot carry out pedagogical action research in isolation since the very context of that research is inextricably interwoven with the work we do and the institution in which we do it. In Chapter 2, the author move on to considering the relevance of being a reflective practitioner and in Chapter 3, he described the scholarship of the teaching and learning movement , which I think it is important. Chapter 4 is where the author made the case for pedagogical action research. This chapter acts as a transition from the theoretical emphasis in the second section.<br /><br />.:: <span style="font-size:180%;">I</span>n this second section, the author has written essentially a 'hands on' practical guide to enable the readers to carry out their own pedagogical action research study, with further resources suggested at the end of each chapter. He begun in Chapter 5 by describing how to get an action research study started, followed in Chapter 6 by a consideration of some of the more commonly used research methods. In Chapter 7 and 8, he described some basic qualitative and quantitative analysis and then move on to Chapter 9 where he demonstrate some of the ways in which we can use or adapt existing research tools. In Chapter 10, he discussed ethical issues of carrying out pedagogical research and end in Chapter 11 b y suggesting how we can publish our findings and apply for research funding.<br /><br />.:: <span style="font-size:180%;">T</span>hroughout the book the author has used the device of hypothetical case studies or vignettes to bring to life some of the dilemmas and decisions we have to make in carrying out our action research projects. This has also been an useful device to include illustrations other than those from the author's own experiences as an academic psychologist.<br /><br />.:: <span style="font-size:180%;">I</span>n overall, the book is practical as guidance for those who would like to carry out action research by your own practice. The accessible text illustrates what might be done to improve teaching or supporting learning by carrying out action research to address such questions such as:<br /><br />~~ What can I do to help my own students..?<br />~~ What can I do to help them become more analytical..?<br />~~ How can I help my students to link theory with their practice..?<br />~~ What can I do to make my lecturing style more flexible..?<br />~~ What is going wrong in my seminars when my students sleep..?<br /><br />and until then..
