The Evaluative Study of Action Research presents all eight
published papers as part of the six-year, global, Evaluative Study
of Action Research (ESAR) in one volume. The study sought to
enhance the academic rigour of Action Research (AR) and provide
greater evidence of its impact. This research contained in this
book shows, in a cohesive way, how the ESAR exemplifies original
research incorporating new methodologies to create new knowledge.
An Evaluative AR framework and indicators were created for initial
qualitative data collection with six initial case studies using
interviews, survey, documentary analysis, and Goal Attainment
Scaling methods. The initial study was followed by a large-scale
mixed method survey with 174 projects from across the globe. Almost
all projects exhibited positive elements linked to AR precursors
(focus clarification, stakeholder engagement, funding), processes
(phased, planned yet flexible activity, data collection and
analysis, ongoing collaboration and leadership), and
outcomes/impacts (change, knowledge mobilisation and continuing
action). The results of the ESAR, elaborated in this volume, offer
important indications for how to create the sort of respectful
engagement that is required for collective strength in solution
based, innovative, change. This book will be a valuable resource
for: action researchers throughout the world; postgraduate research
students, academics and libraries; evaluators; and anyone in
communities who wishes to know how to create sustainable change.
