Using Action Inquiry in Engaged Research: A Professional Guide
offers higher education and school professionals practical guidance
and methods for using the Action Inquiry Model (AIM) in engaged
research initiatives and community partnerships. Replete with group
exercises and case studies, this guide was originally developed to
supplement workshops for faculty, administrators and students
working on action initiatives that focused on critical educational
issues facing local communities. It provides a useful framework and
straightforward techniques for building empowering partnerships.
The Action Inquiry Model (AIM) includes four stages: Assessment:
Using research and experience to identify critical challenges
facing the university with respect to the improvement of
educational opportunities Organization: Developing workgroups to
collaborate on initiatives that address critical challenges;
providing financial support for new initiatives; and providing
release time and professional development opportunities for faculty
and staff who engage in reform initiatives Action Initiatives:
Treating reforms as pilot tests for new strategies, as a means of
promoting organizational learning, professional development, and
student success Evaluation: Integrating the evaluation of current
programs and incorporating new initiatives into the reform process.
This guide provides two methods for learning the inquiry process: a
step-by-step process for defining tasks for teams of researchers
and practitioners working together to use research to inform the
educational improvement; and sets of case studies on assessment and
action inquiry to inform groups in collectively discussing problems
and strategies, an approach that supports the classroom use of the
Guide.
