The role the authors play in the research project:
Researchers formulate processes that aid with development of inclusive, intercultural schools via teachers' professional development within a SIT program context (Sales, Traver, & Garcia, 2011). Teaching and research influence each other; however, at times, a large gap exists between them. While teachers may be instructed to adopt "research-based techniques," these techniques may be displayed before them with no sensitivity to analytic rigor, thoughtful skepticism, and context, which characterize quality researches (Miller & Fox, 2005).
Authors employed a qualitative approach - a case study - for determining application of action research, in order to inspire school and professional culture to adopt a comprehensive, intercultural approach, as well as examine in-service training documents, which offered evidence regarding changes in school culture and teachers' perceptions during 2007-2008, in a Spanish school. This qualitative study identified key process factors, along with their effect on SIT program (Sales, Traver, & Garcia, 2011).

Researchers concluded that lack of shared values and accord, and a lack of peaceful method of conflict resolution, negatively impacted coexistence within the school. The school lacks a pedagogical space, where clarification of guiding values essential to teaching takes place; consequently, it had no consistent shared system for lending value to teachers' work.
The school culture and staff interaction:

School culture can be explained as follows: only those teachers who worked with a common group of students collaborated with each other. The remaining tasks were conducted individually, without pedagogical coordination; this implies ineffective management of school personnel.…
Painting Read Monet's the Stroll Monet Monet's the Stroll, Camille Monet Her Son Jean (Woman With a Parasol) This painting epitomizes the impressionistic style and artistic philosophy in a number of different ways. If one looks closely at the painting by Monet one can see that the foreground, the sky as well as the dress and parasol are created by many short strokes of opaque paint. This gives the impression of a moment captured
Western civilization has been developing according to a set of coordinates that are entirely separated from the ones of its Eastern counterpart. The focus of this paper is to propose subjective psychologically-minded interpretations to a series of Asian stories and poems extracted from the traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism. The storyline of Searching for Buddha begins with the account of a monk's lengthy and arduous journey towards finding Buddha. When
Instead, Wangero continues to only see that her name is a reminder that African-Americans were denied their authentic names. "I couldn't bear it any longer, being named after the people who oppress me" (53). Walker is not by any means condemning the Black Power movement when she challenges Wangero's viewpoint. Instead, she is questioning that part of this movement that does not acknowledge and, more importantly, respect the scores of

Many are offering sign-on bonuses, extra benefits and other amenities to attract a limited supply of nurses. As both the general population and the elderly population grow, the number of nurses needed to care for them increases proportionally as well. The number of people choosing
Flea This paradoxical and provocative poem by John Donne illustrates a number of the central characteristics of Metaphysical poetry. This paper will attempt to elucidate the paradoxical elements of the poem through a close reading of the text. The poem is essentially argumentative and displays a number of conceits or paradoxical comparisons. The poet uses words and meanings in an unconventional and often startling sense to convince his lover to
Victorian literature was remarkably concerned with the idea of childhood, but to a large degree we must understand the Victorian concept of childhood and youth as being, in some way, a revisionary response to the early nineteenth century Romantic conception. Here we must, to a certain degree, accept Harold Bloom's thesis that Victorian poetry represents a revisionary response to the revolutionary aesthetic of Romanticism, and particularly that of Wordsworth. The
