Intimate partner violence has been a systemic issue from local communities through national and societal reformation needs. The cyclical behaviors and patterns of power and control are exercised upon an intended person (Hamilton, Jaffe, & Campbell, 2013). Although not all actions are physically violent, there are additional tactics utilized to perpetuate disempowerment. Additionally, there is an increased risk of fatalities when intimate violence occurs, whether the intended victim or other familial members. This is significant in investigating how systematically this is being continued. Action research will be able to address intimate partner violence through understanding and development of operative and effective action (Stringer & Dwyer, 2005). Various systems, such as child welfare, criminal justice, social service agencies, and medical providers, are reactive to the issue. By employing action research intervention can be thoughtfully engaged through collaborative efforts that maximize the relationship dynamics to find resolve.

No change effort should begin without an intended measurable outcome, the action research model requires objectives to be set, schedules created and budgets to be managed. This change model provides benchmark objectives against which actual experience can be measured. This is a good way to measure how individuals are adapting to the change strategies and allows for ongoing interventions to be created. An action research model allows people to consider their own role in the change process and holds people accountable for their own transition. Not using a measurable change model holds the risk of not achieving the desired outcome or worse yet only achieving part of the change objectives. Following a structured change model ensures that the

Action research is a form of research and conducted by and for those taking the actions. The primary reason for engaging in action research is to assist the actor in improving or refining actions. The value of action research is helping practitioners, health managers and researchers to make sense of problems in service delivery and in promoting initiatives for change and improvement. In this research process the investigator performing research with the support of community residents or clients. With the participant’s support researcher identify a community problem and developing the methodology of

Within this literature review two emerging research methodologies will be discussed: Action research and autoethnography. Each of these methodologies has their own purposes, powers and strengths and both differ from other traditional forms of academic research. To gain an understanding of these methodologies, 16 pieces of empirical research have been used. Although two articles are dated back to the 1990s, the majority of research is from the 2000s and onward. This review will begin by discussing action research. First, there will be an analysis of the research platform which will demonstrate the stance, approaches, positioning and history behind this methodology.

Corey (1953) defined action research as the process by which practitioners attempt to study their problems scientifically in order to guide, correct, and evaluate their decisions and actions.

The National Curriculum for Science (2013), anticipates to advance all pupils’ scientific knowledge and conceptualise understanding through the segmented scientific approaches; biology, chemistry and physics. In addition, pupils should have an awareness of the nature, processes and approaches used within science, through the various scientific enquires that enable pupils to answer questions related to the world and life. Finally, the aims of the science curriculum also consider that children must have the resources to fund the knowledge that is necessary to use science in the, present and future tense states the Department of Education (2013).

Action learning, in contrast to action research, focuses on the learning and the action does not require the extension of new knowledge in a theoretical sense. In action learning the participants select some issues, analyze them, take some action and say on that action, while Action research is a process by which change and understanding can be pursued at the one time. It is usually described as cyclic, with action and critical reflection taking place in turn. It is commonly done by a group of people, though sometimes people use it to improve their practice. It has been used often in the field of education for this purpose. It is not unusual for there to be someone

Through reviewing some articles this paper has concluded that the activity of doing action research among Iranian teachers should be highlighted as well as expanded either through giving questionnaires, or participating in discussion workshops, interviewing with professional teachers, since reflection is an unfamiliar terminology among Iranian learners and teachers which has not been practically used yet. Thus, they can gain the best possible reflective and successful as well as practical and effective outcome. Teachers on the other hand have the responsibility of helping the students which could guide them to become better, autonomous learners through different procedures and ways of reflection. As the results which were

The participants for this study will be students in a fourth-grade direct instruction program for reading at Soaring Heights School, Clearfield, PA. Soaring Heights School is an alternative placement school for students with Emotional Disturbance or Autism Spectrum Disorder. The school has strict licensure regulations that require both populations to be educated separately. Therefore, the participants chosen for this study will be students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). “Current research indicates that DI is a promising practice for students with ASD” (Cadette et al., 2016). Although the school is an alternative placement setting, the students are required to take the same assessments as students

It engages learners fully in science and enhances students’ motivation, interest, and love toward science subject. It also prepares students to pursue science related career and lead country’s future scientific endeavors. According to Department of Curriculum and Research Development (2011), the science curriculum are organized into four strands based on the National Education Framework (2012) of Bhutan and they are as

Action Research is way of learning things with different types of means. Some learn new things by doing it (O 'Brian, 1998). It could be through collaborative inquiry, participatory research, action learning or through contextual action (O’Brian, 2001). Basically, Action Research involves group of people working towards the same goals. For example, the company X created a group of 5 people to figure out the problem the company is facing such as to figure out ways that caused poor performance. In this case, they should identify what the major problem is, take steps to gather data and information, analyze them and work together to come with the best solution. Once they come up with the plan, they use that to see if their efforts are good enough to solve the issues. In this case, management decides whether it’s successful or not. If they are unsatisfied, they can ask the group to try again (O’Brian, 2001). In Action research, the researcher and the client work together in order to meet or achieve the targeted goals (Padak, 2015). There are different stages associated with this research such as identifying questions what are the major issues that need immediate care, collecting data and information from various sources so that one can understand what the real problem is. The real problem can only be found if you do immense research, analyze all the data and information and share the results with others in the research team (Padak, 2015).

Even though science can be very mind boggling it is often at times misunderstood by many, it draws together model experimental developments and concepts in conjunction with matter, gadgets, and other devices because scientists contributes different conveniences for the different communities to develop and expand their individual awareness. It helps one to better understand the invention of recreating mass and matter. As an attempt to look at the continuing debate of the true role science plays in public education this paper will address not only the concepts of coaching and instructing students as they learn the importance of the science world and the role it plays in educating students alone with their parents within the settings of the public school. Science plays a great role in our every day lives. As we view science through the eye of public education we will experiment science and education as an antidote, learn the evolution of education in science and examine the importance of museums as an environment for learning. This is an attempt to look at the continuing debate of the role science plays in public schools. While we examine different views of the general public this paper will try to explain why I feel science is an important concept to public education.

Science teaching in Nigeria has faced a lot of setbacks. One of the setbacks is teachers’ needs. This research is dealing with one of the challenges science teachers are facing in teaching. If the needs of Science teachers can be met, Science teachers will perform better and science education will improve in senior secondary schools in Nigeria.
