The main purpose of this study was to investigate the suitable practice and model of reflection and listening for A Company through the action progress of learning history of partner. This study belongs to action research. The experiment field was A Company. It targeted at the learning of reflection and listening. Through reflection-in-action and reflection-on-action in the process of learning history, the problems and dilemmas encountered by each action plan werereflected to seek for solutions and to revise the action plan. Then the learn procedure was built. From the progress of action plan, it sought for newfindings which can be the reference for A Company to promote learning of reflection and listening continuously. The results of this study were as follows: 1, Find the researcher and job partner's blind spot, listen attentively to through "listener ". 2, Common participation, help to the learning of reflection and listening. 3, Put in order out the learn procedure reflection and listening attentively to from action experience.

Programming teaching is not effective from experience. Research shows that the main problem novice programmers have is not understanding the syntax and semantics of programming language, but combining the knowledge they have learned to make a solution of a new problem. Patterns are useful to combine the knowledge and develop a solution for a problem. A lot of research suggests that using patterns in teaching introductory programming courses, but most of them just define the patterns and give some examples of them. However, just a few of them use programming patterns in a real course or make patterns into the teaching materials. This research proposes a programming pattern tutorial for elementary novice students and adopts the active research method to teach the material in a programming course of the first grade students of NSYSU. We collect and analyze the data coming from participating observation, interview record, and the test scripts of midterm and final term exams and hope to use action research method to categorize the difficulties we have encountered during the teaching process. In conclusion, the programming pattern material this research proposes can actually help students improve the ability of solving problems. In addition, they know how to start to start to solve a problem, have the algorithm idea in their mind and search solutions they have made to similar problems. Finally, write a solution to a new problem.

Leadership development in higher education is of vital importance to South Africa’s future. We present a case study that focuses on a leadership development programme (LDP) through action learning and action research (ALAR) for women academics in South Africa during 2000 and 2001. It identifies the effects of the LDP on participants five years after the programme. The evaluation process encouraged participants to reflect on their own learning, research growth and leadership capabilities, and on how they may further develop their practice and career. Reflecting on this evaluation, we have conceptualized the results and developed process models of leadership deve lopment through action research. These models may be used as a framework for designing, conducting and evaluating leadership or other professional development programmes in higher education.
