Principles and Methods of Transformative Action Research delves
into both general principles and specific methods for basic steps
in the action research process-asking questions, gathering and
analyzing data, communicating findings, and pursuing action. The
role of collaboration is emphasized, with strategies of value to
experts and engaged citizens in doing participatory research and
community-based knowledge-building. Detailed attention is given to
specific strategies of interviewing, participant observation, and
judging and weighing evidence. The book draws on creative and
critically minded elements of scientific traditions, such as
transparency in telling the "story" of one's inquiry, identifying
data that are "exceptions to the rule," and the value of
non-formulaic, improvisational designs. Quite distinctively, the
book addresses how to write in one's own voice, how to integrate
action-and-inquiry into one's everyday life, issues of ethics and
social responsibility, and how to consider both immediate,
practical needs and "bigger picture," systemic challenges. This
book can serve as an undergraduate or graduate social sciences text
on research methods. It is also a guidebook for action-oriented
research by academics, professionals, and lay people, alike in
community agencies, schools, and grassroots organizations, and for
socially relevant academic research concerned with social justice,
multiculturalism, and inclusiveness.
