While existing studies on teacher PD have largely focused on formal training programs and policy-driven initiatives\, there remains a lack of in-depth exploration of how teachers develop professionally through their everyday teaching practices.\n \n\n\nIn particular\, insufficient attention has been paid to the methodologies that support practice-based PD\, the internal mechanisms that drive teacher growth\, and the dynamic relationships among teachers’ beliefs\, reflective practices\, and professional collaboration.\n \n\n\nTo address these gaps\, this qualitative study investigates the long-term professional development trajectory of a tertiary English teacher through a workplace-based lens. Conducted between 2019 and 2025\, the study adopts a multi-method qualitative research design that integrates case study\, narrative inquiry\, and action research.\n \n\n\nThe researcher-teacher serves as both participant and analyst\, enabling an in-depth examination of lived teaching experiences\, reflective cycles\, pedagogical decision-making\, and collaborative interactions within the institutional context.\n \n\n \n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n TEACHER-RESEARCHER PERCEPTIONS OF IMPLEMENTING THE PROCESS-GENRE MODEL TO SUPPORT EFL STUDENTS’ OPINION ESSAY WRITING \nEnkhbayar Lkhagva \n enkhbayarpeace@gmail.com \n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n Read Abstract\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n TEACHER-RESEARCHER PERCEPTIONS OF IMPLEMENTING THE PROCESS-GENRE MODEL TO SUPPORT EFL STUDENTS’ OPINION ESSAY WRITING\n Enkhbayar Lkhagva\n \n English\, German Language Department\n School of Social Sciences and Humanities\n Mongolian National University of Education\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\nThis study explores the teacher-researcher’s perceptions of implementing a Process-Genre Model (PGM) to support the development of opinion essay writing skills among Mongolian EFL university students. Drawing on established Process-Genre Approach (PGA) models\, the PGM was designed to integrate multi-level scaffolding—context\, text/paragraph\, grammar\, vocabulary\, and mechanics—with the stages of planning\, drafting\, revising\, and editing.\n \n\n\nUsing an action research design\, the teacher-researcher implemented a 64-hour writing course based on the PGM. Data were collected through classroom observations and a reflective research journal\, and analyzed thematically.\n \n\n\nFindings revealed that the staged structure of the PGM—modeling and deconstructing\, joint construction\, and independent construction—was effective in fostering students’ contextual\, organizational\, and linguistic knowledge. Students engaged actively in analyzing model essays\, benefited from collaborative planning and drafting\, and demonstrated growing autonomy in independent writing.\n \n\n\nAt the same time\, the teacher-researcher noted persistent challenges\, including difficulties with deconstructing complex texts\, uneven peer participation\, and limited ability to integrate and punctuate evidence such as quotations and statistics.\n \n\n\nThe study concludes that the PGM offers a practical and context-sensitive framework for improving opinion essay writing in Mongolian EFL classrooms. Recommendations include providing explicit training in evidence use and feedback skills\, as well as designing group tasks with clear roles to ensure balanced participation.

At the doctoral level\, students are offered action research as an elective course.\n \n\n\nThrough engagement in these programs\, students develop essential research competencies\, including problem identification\, research planning\, data collection\, qualitative and quantitative data analysis\, reflective practice\, and conceptualization.\n \n\n\nGraduates who complete these courses actively address pressing challenges in preschool\, primary\, secondary\, and higher education in Mongolia\, and successfully defend bachelor’s theses\, master’s theses\, and doctoral dissertations that contribute to evidence-based educational improvement.\n \n\n \n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n EXPERIENCE IN IMPLEMENTING ACTION RESEARCH IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION \nDr. Javzandulam Batsaikhan | Professor Candace Kaye | Bayarmaa Badarch\, Doctoral Student | Amarzaya Ulziisaikhan\, Doctoral Student \n javzandulam@msue.edu.mn \n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n Read Abstract\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n\n EXPERIENCE IN IMPLEMENTING ACTION RESEARCH IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION\n\n \n Dr. Javzandulam Batsaikhan\n Professor Candace Kaye\n Bayarmaa Badarch (Doctoral Student)\n Amarzaya Ulziisaikhan (Doctoral Student)\n \n\n Mongolian National University of Education \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\nThis study presents experiences from implementing participatory action research (PAR) in a\npublic preschool setting in Ulaanbaatar\, Mongolia\, with a particular focus on environmental\nsustainability education in marginalized ger district communities.\n \n\n\nThe study was conducted from 2022 to 2025 at Public Kindergarten No. 167 and involved\npreschool children aged two to five\, their parents\, teachers\, and local community stakeholders.\nGuided by the cyclical action research process of planning\, action\, observation\, and reflection\,\nthe research aimed to address local environmental challenges while simultaneously enhancing\nchildren’s cognitive\, social\, and emotional development.\n \n\n\nThe study demonstrates that action research in preschool education can serve as a methodological\nand pedagogical approach for addressing real-world challenges\, fostering reflective practice\namong educators\, empowering parents\, and supporting young children’s holistic development.\n \n\n\nThe findings suggest that context-responsive\, participatory action research contributes not only\nto improved educational practices but also to sustainable community transformation\, offering a\ntransferable model for early childhood education in similarly marginalized urban settings.\n \n\n \n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n STUDY ON THE DEVELOPMENT METHODS OF TEACHERS IN THE TEACHING PROCESS \nCHA NA\, English Teacher\, Ulanqab School; PhD \n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n Read Abstract\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n STUDY ON THE DEVELOPMENT METHODS OF TEACHERS IN THE TEACHING PROCESS\n CHA NA\n \n English Teacher\, Ulanqab School\n PhD\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\nEnglish\, as a dominant global medium of communication\, positions tertiary English teachers’ professional development (PD) as a critical issue in the context of ongoing higher education reforms. While existing studies on teacher PD have largely focused on formal training programs and policy-driven initiatives\, there remains a lack of in-depth exploration of how teachers develop professionally through their everyday teaching practices.\n \n\n\nIn particular\, insufficient attention has been paid to the methodologies that support practice-based PD\, the internal mechanisms that drive teacher growth\, and the dynamic relationships among teachers’ beliefs\, reflective practices\, and professional collaboration.\n \n\n\nTo address these gaps\, this qualitative study investigates the long-term professional development trajectory of a tertiary English teacher through a workplace-based lens. Conducted between 2019 and 2025\, the study adopts a multi-method qualitative research design that integrates case study\, narrative inquiry\, and action research.\n \n\n\nThe researcher-teacher serves as both participant and analyst\, enabling an in-depth examination of lived teaching experiences\, reflective cycles\, pedagogical decision-making\, and collaborative interactions within the institutional context.\n \n\n \n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n TEACHER-RESEARCHER PERCEPTIONS OF IMPLEMENTING THE PROCESS-GENRE MODEL TO SUPPORT EFL STUDENTS’ OPINION ESSAY WRITING \nEnkhbayar Lkhagva \n enkhbayarpeace@gmail.com \n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n Read Abstract\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n TEACHER-RESEARCHER PERCEPTIONS OF IMPLEMENTING THE PROCESS-GENRE MODEL TO SUPPORT EFL STUDENTS’ OPINION ESSAY WRITING\n Enkhbayar Lkhagva\n \n English\, German Language Department\n School of Social Sciences and Humanities\n Mongolian National University of Education\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\nThis study explores the teacher-researcher’s perceptions of implementing a Process-Genre Model (PGM) to support the development of opinion essay writing skills among Mongolian EFL university students. Drawing on established Process-Genre Approach (PGA) models\, the PGM was designed to integrate multi-level scaffolding—context\, text/paragraph\, grammar\, vocabulary\, and mechanics—with the stages of planning\, drafting\, revising\, and editing.\n \n\n\nUsing an action research design\, the teacher-researcher implemented a 64-hour writing course based on the PGM. Data were collected through classroom observations and a reflective research journal\, and analyzed thematically.\n \n\n\nFindings revealed that the staged structure of the PGM—modeling and deconstructing\, joint construction\, and independent construction—was effective in fostering students’ contextual\, organizational\, and linguistic knowledge. Students engaged actively in analyzing model essays\, benefited from collaborative planning and drafting\, and demonstrated growing autonomy in independent writing.\n \n\n\nAt the same time\, the teacher-researcher noted persistent challenges\, including difficulties with deconstructing complex texts\, uneven peer participation\, and limited ability to integrate and punctuate evidence such as quotations and statistics.\n \n\n\nThe study concludes that the PGM offers a practical and context-sensitive framework for improving opinion essay writing in Mongolian EFL classrooms. Recommendations include providing explicit training in evidence use and feedback skills\, as well as designing group tasks with clear roles to ensure balanced participation.

Prieto 164\, Col. El Remance. \nThe 2025 CARN Study Day at the 2025 ARNA Hybrid Conference examines how art museums can serve as a Third Space by offering a framework for learning that connects cultural and creative ideas within an inquiry-based process. Using art museums as Third Spaces will be explored as a powerful component of learning\, providing a universality and connection to the traditional first (home) and second (school) spaces. Reflecting this\, the 2025 CARN Study Day offers attendees the opportunity to enter into a participatory experience\, using as a guide a successful action research pilot project of an internationally recognized early art education program in a Puerto Vallarta\, Mexico museum. The art education project involving public school kindergarten children and their teachers with the community art museum\, used national education standards to guide discovery learning in the museum. The third space of learning was formed within the intersections of artistic and educational practices and moved outside traditional paradigms and norms to open pathways by which young learners became co-authors of their own learning. Since Third Space creates an intersection that blurs the boundaries between clear cut categories and understandings\, it can be an elusive concept to recognize in action\, but it continues to be seen as having the potential to open up powerful learning experiences. The participatory presentation\, activities and conversation about the action research art education pilot project in the Study Day provides an opportunity to clarify and inspire the use of Third Space environments in future action research investigations. \nLimited to 25 on-site attendees. \nRegister here!\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRefreshments provided on-site\, sponsored by CARN.
