Much research supports the everyday therapeutic and deeper socialneurophysiological influence of singing songs alone and in groups (Austin, 2008; Cozolino, 2013; Sacks, 2007). This study looks at what happens when Japanese students teach short English affirmation songlet-routines to others out of the classroom (clandestine folk music therapy). I investigate 155 student-conducted musical case studies from 7 semester-long classes (18 to 29 students per class) over a 4-year period. The assignments, their in-class training, and their results are introduced, with examples directly from their case studies. Each class published their own booklet of case studies (a class publication, available to readers online for research replication and modeling). Results show that most primary participants enjoyed spreading these positive songlets as they became “well-becoming agents of change” in their own social networks. “Well-becoming” emphasizes an agentive action or activity that creates better well-being in others, an action such as the sharing or teaching of a songlet. The qualitative data reveals a number of types of well-becoming such as social and familial bonding, meaning-making, teaching-rushes, and experiencing embodied cognition. The project also stimulated wider network dissemination of these well-becoming possibilities and pedagogical insights.

The article refers to one of the potential action paths for educating teachers and refers to the possibility of using applied research in the process of identifying social problems by students. It is an attempt to answer the questions about how to prepare university graduates to recognize in their professional work completely new situations and to solve the previously unknown dilemmas resulting from the rapid development of civilization. The structure of the presented study reflects successive stages of searching for possibilities to solve the methodological problem outlined above. The first part covers the basic assumptions of visual ethnography with particular emphasis on photo-ethnography and the foundations of Yjro Engeström's theory of expansive learning, on which the idea of action was based. The second part outlines the scheme of the basic activity, with particular attention paid to the subject of the activity, which uses elements of visual ethnography as a way to change the activity and use the potential of both entities (teacher and students) participating in it.

Artykuł odnosi się do jednej z potencjalnych ścieżek działania w zakresie kształcenia pedagogów i nawiązuje do możliwości wykorzystania badań stosowanych w procesie rozpoznawania problemów społecznych przez studentów. Jest próbą odpowiedzi na pytania o to, w jaki sposób przygotowywać absolwentów studiów wyższych do rozpoznawania w pracy zawodowej zupełnie nowych sytuacji i rozstrzygania nieznanych im dotąd dylematów, wynikających z szybkiego rozwoju cywilizacyjnego. Struktura prezentowanego opracowania odzwierciedla kolejne etapy poszukiwania możliwości rozwiązywania zarysowanego powyżej problemu metodycznego. Część pierwsza obejmuje podstawowe założenia etnografii wizualnej ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem fotoetnografii oraz podstawy teorii ekspansywnego uczenia się Yjro Engeströma, na których oparto pomysł działania. W części drugiej zarysowano schemat podstawowego działania, zaś szczególną uwagę zwrócono na przedmiot działalności, w którym zastosowane zostały elementy etnografii wizualnej jako sposób na zmianę aktywności i wykorzystanie potencjału obu podmiotów (nauczyciela i studentów) biorących w niej udział.

W artykule autorka przedstawia praktyczny ogląd ugruntowanych teoretycznie badań nad działaniem edukacyjnym. Odwołuje się do projektów rozwojowych prowadzonych w Center for Research on Activity, Development and Learning (CRADLE) [Centrum Badań nad Działalnością, Rozwojem i Uczeniem się] na Uniwersytecie Helsińskim w Finlandii. Prace afiliowane przy Centrum, czerpiące z kulturowo-historycznej teorii działalności (CHAT), znane są z teorii ekspansywnego uczenia się, a także z jej bardziej praktycznej aplikacji zwanej rozwojowymi badaniami w miejscu pracy (DWR). Z podejść tych korzysta się szeroko w analizach profesjonalnego uczenia się, traktując je jako teoretyczno-metodologiczną podstawę studiów zmiany i rozwoju profesjonalnego w różnych rodzajach ludzkiej działalności.

In this paper the author offers a practical view of the theory-grounded research on education action. She draws on studies carried out at the Center for Research on Activity, Development and Learning (CRADLE) at the University of Helsinki in Finland. In its work, the Center draws on cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) and is well-known for the theory of Expansive Learning and its more practical application called Developmental Work Research (DWR). These approaches are widely used to understand professional learning and have served as a theoreticaland methodological foundation for studies examining change and professional development in various human activities.
