Literature review on the use of action research in higher education.
Source: Educational Action Research, Vol. 25, No. 1 , 3–22, 2017
(Reviewed by the Portal Team)
This literature review aims to examine the use of action research in higher education. It examines pedagogical research as a field of study. It also considers student engagement.
Action research and pedagogic research The authors argue that action research links between pedagogic research and reflective practice in higher education. Action research also enables to explore issues relating to critical pedagogy and social justice.
The authors also found that there is an increasing trend to explore action research at an institutional level. These studies break down the demarcations between traditional scholarship, research and administration/organization. Studies found that utilising a participant action research cycle, directed by a progressive institutional learning and teaching strategy, faculty members and the student body are provided with the opportunity to contribute toward the accomplishment of institutional change.
The literature also reveals that action research approaches have frequently been explored as a means of identifying strategies for curriculum development at an institutional level. It was also found that pedagogical research particularly examined the use of action research in teacher training programmes. Studies explore these programmes, which use action research, from the perspectives of both learners and the teachers. The findings reveal that institutional development also considers questions regarding the effectiveness of an institution’s current continuing professional development programme, the identification and evaluation of development that necessarily accompanies institutional growth and change, and the examination of collaboration with staff in re-writing the continuing professional development programme. The authors also found that the action research literature has some limitations. It is performed with a single cohort by an insider-researcher who seeks to inform personal practice or assess a pedagogical modification. They also found that action research literature is centred primarily on description of the reflective process rather than any detailed critical evaluation of the intervention/innovation and methodology.
Action Research and Student Engagement Many educational action research studies examine how to obtain feedback on teaching practice from the students. In this studies, students play a key role in improving teaching practice and contribute to the their teachers' professional development.
The authors argue that using action research to assess strategies where students are either passive or non-passive in the process is important in the development of an improved learning environment. The authors argue that many studies demonstrate effective examples of pedagogy and andragogy regarding the value of action research in enhancing student engagement through reflective practice, active participation and empowerment.
The authors conclude that action research has produced important changes in practice. However, it needs to continue to evolve and respond to the limitations identified in this review.

N2 - This literature review considers the use of action research in higher education. It specifically looks at two areas of higher education activity. The first concerns academic teaching practice and includes a discussion of research and pedagogy practice, and staff development. The second considers student engagement. In both these core features of higher education, action research has proved to be a central approach to the investigation, reflection and improvement of practice. Each of these main foci includes a discussion of the limitations of the literature. The review illustrates the extent and range of uses to have benefited from an action research approach.

Purpose. The purpose of this article is to describe action research in nursing education and to propose a definition of action research for providing guidelines for research proposals and criteria for assessing potential publications for nursing higher education. Methods. The first part of this project involved a search of the literature on action research in nursing higher education from 1994 to 2013. Searches were conducted in the CINAHL and MEDLINE databases. Applying the criteria identified, 80 publications were reviewed. The second part of the project involved a literature review of action research methodology from several disciplines to assist in assessing articles in this review. Results. This article summarizes the nursing higher education literature reviewed and provides processes and content related to four topic areas in nursing higher education. The descriptions assist researchers in learning more about the complexity of both the action research process and the varied outcomes. The literature review of action research in many disciplines along with the review of action research in higher education provided a framework for developing a nursing-education-centric definition of action research. Conclusions. Although guidelines for developing action research and criteria for publication are suggested, continued development of methods for synthesizing action research is recommended.

Psychology lecturers are well-qualified to carry out action research which would contribute to the theoretical understanding of learning as well as having practical benefits for students. Researchers are urged to collect evidence to influence policy where higher education is facing new challenges, whether from changing economic conditions, technological developments, globalisation, student diversity, or greater expectations for personalised, engaging, and flexible learning. Five specific areas within the teaching of psychology are identified as offering rich opportunities for collaborative action research: study abroad, study skills for transition to university, engaging students with statistics, gamification, and teaching psychology to students from other disciplines. Pedagogical action research demonstrates how knowledge and skills in psychology can be applied to solve practical problems, providing role models of psychological literacy to students, who can also beneficially be involved as participant researchers. Pedagogical research is particularly desirable when students are learning a new way of thinking.

Digital transformation belongs to industry 4.0, and has positively impacted the economic sectors through the digitization of processes and adoption of digital technologies, generating a digital culture, changing environments, new development models, new processes, creation of products and services in an organization. Analyzing the positive effects of digital transformation, a systematic review of the literature has been carried out to know the current status of digital transformation processes in the education sector, where there is evidence of few frameworks validated in higher education scenarios to implement digital transformation processes. This article presents previous results related to the current state of digital transformation processes in higher education institutions, which has allowed to advance in the development of a proposal for a framework that supports the implementation of transformation processes in educational institutions in their mission functions. The proposal will be focused on a projective analytical research methodology, the method of action research of quantitative type proposed, makes it possible to analyze the data of a population in 7 higher education institutions in the city of Popayan, department of Cauca (Colombia).

Please note you do not have access to teaching notes, impact of chatgpt and generative ai on lifelong learning and upskilling learners in higher education: unveiling the challenges and opportunities globally.
International Journal of Information and Learning Technology
ISSN : 2056-4880
Article publication date: 25 October 2024
A gripping keyword emerged in the dynamic world of 2022: GPT or the advent of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI), at its forefront, embodied by the mysterious ChatGPT. This technological marvel had been silently lurking in the background for just over five years. However, all of a sudden, it emerged onto the scene, capturing the public’s attention and quickly becoming one of the most widely adopted inventions in history. Therefore, this narrative review is conducted in order to explore the impact of generative AI and ChatGPT on lifelong learning and upskilling of students in higher education and address opportunities and challenges proposed by Artificial Intelligence from a global perspective.
Design/methodology/approach
This review has been conducted using a narrative literature review approach. For in-depth identification of research gaps, 105 relevant articles were included from scholarly databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC and Google Scholar. Seven major themes emerged from the literature to answer the targeted research questions that describe the use of AI, the impact of generative AI and ChatGPT on students, the challenges and opportunities of using AI in education and mitigating strategies to cope with the challenges associated with the integration of ChatGPT and generative AI in education.
The review of the literature presents that generative AI and ChatGPT have gained a lot of recognition among students and have revolutionized educational settings. The findings suggest that there are some contexts in which adult education research and teaching can benefit from the use of chatbots and generative AI technologies like ChatGPT. The literature does, however, also highlight the necessity of carefully considering the benefits and drawbacks of these technologies in order to prevent restricting or distorting the educational process or endangering academic integrity. In addition, the literature raises ethical questions about data security, privacy and cheating by students or researchers. To these, we add our own ethical concerns about intellectual property, such as the fact that, once we enter ideas or research results into a generative chatbot, we no longer have control over how it is used.
Practical implications
This review is helpful for educators and policymakers to design the curriculum and policies that encourage students to use generative AI ethically while taking academic integrity into account. Also, this review article identifies the major gaps that are associated with the impact of AI and ChatGPT on the lifelong learning skills of students.
Originality/value
This review of the literature is unique because it explains the challenges and opportunities of using generative AI and ChatGPT, also defining its impact on lifelong learning and upskilling of students.
