Is it possible to launch a ir.actions.act_window from a Python method of a model?.

For instance, I have implemented a Session model which represents a course session (I also have a Course model). Also, I have a openacademy.xml where I have defined the form view to open the session form view.

<record model="ir.ui.view" id="session_form_view">
      <field name="name">session.form</field>
      <field name="model">openacademy.session</field>
      <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <form>
          <header>
            <button name="draft" type="workflow"
                    string="Reset to draft"
                    states="confirmed,done"/>
            <button name="confirm" type="workflow"
                    string="Confirm" states="draft"
                    class="oe_highlight"/>
            <button name="done" type="workflow"
                    string="Mark as done" states="confirmed"
                    class="oe_highlight"/>
            <button type="object"
                    name="my_method"
                    string="New course"/>
            <field name="state" widget="statusbar"/>
          </header>
          <sheet>
            <group string="General">
              <field name="name" string="Session name"/>
              <field name="course_id" string="Course"/>
              <field name="instructor_id" string="Instructor"/>
            </group>
            <group string="Management">
              <field name="start_date" string="Start date"/>
              <field name="active" string="Active"/>
              <field name="duration" string="Duration (in days)"/>
              <field name="seats"/>
              <field name="percent_taken_seats" widget="progressbar"/>
            </group>
            <label for="attendees"/>
            <field name="attendees"/>
          </sheet>
        </form>
      </field>
    </record>

The relevant part of the above code is the following:

<button type="object" name="my_method" string="New course"/>

When I click on this button a method 'my_method' from the Session model (class Session) is called.

class Session(models.Model):
...
    @api.one
    def my_method(self):
        return {
            'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
            'res_model': 'openacademy.course',
            'view_type': 'form',
            'view_mode': 'form',
            'target': 'new',
        }

This method return a dictionary containing the differents keys and values of a window action, but it doesn't work in Odoo 8. When I click on the button "New course", my_method is executed but a Course form view is not opened to create a new Course record.

I don't know if it is possible to do this in Odoo version 8, or if my_method must return something more.

EDIT:

Thanks to the @Atchuthan response (profile url: https://www.odoo.com/es_ES/forum/help-1/user/92610), the modified version of my method my_method from the Session model is the following:

class Session(models.Model):
...
    @api.multi
    def my_method(self):course_form = self.env.ref('openacademy.course_form_view', False)
        return {
            'name': 'New Course',
            'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
            'res_model': 'openacademy.course',
            'view_type': 'form',
            'view_mode': 'form',
            'target': 'new',
            'views': [(course_form.id, 'form')],
            'view_id': 'course_form.id',
            'flags': {'action_buttons': True},
        }
