Comment on Simplifying our pricing by Greg Christman

I can well understand the use of action research as a method of finding what works best for any particular situation/context. I’ve no problem with that at all. Indeed, the same general cycle of reflective practice can be applied across the board, and even across disciplines.

Try to apply action research results and use them to formulate a transferable practice is not only unscientific, it is also unfair, both to the teachers who are expected to follow the practice and the poor students who suffer in consequence.

I have no problem with using action research – I practise it myself. BUT that’s exactly where action research stops – with the person or group who is actioning it. What works for me in my action research in teaching will not necessarily work at all for another teacher, and likewise for groups.

It is a postmodern invention (or cycle) which works well for the individual (or individual group) and that’s what it’s intended for. In teaching, the teachers practising action research create their own reality, for their distinct personality and their personal traits, practices and relationships are unique to them.

Action research is a reflective process that classically is not transferable among individuals or groups. In fact it is not really like research at all except for the fact that it does indeed apply (and may only apply) to the person (or group) who is actioning it. What works for one group of people will not necessarily work for another group.

Thanks for your thought filled post. I agree about higher education and have found the same things at both institutions where I taught

To that end, I totally understand your summary. To implement it, you’d have to be king of the World. The reality is that any transformation is going to have to come from successful classrooms working with one eye on new tools and energy, all the while keeping the other eye on the target.

It’s easy for me to learn online. I have the social fabric and friends and we’re learning at outrageous speeds and in random directions and feel absolutely great about it. The definition of success is internal and going to sleep knowing that I learned something worthwhile today.

How do you illicit transformation from inside a closed system? I believe it is through small teams (groups) of people who make a commitment to each other to improve over time. Asking each other– given the giftings and talents we bring to the table– what can we create that will leave the world a better place.
