The Action Research Planner: Doing Critical Participatory Action Research
The Action Research Planner Doing Critical Participatory Action Research Author:Stephen Kemmis, Robin McTaggart, Rhonda Nixon A fully-updated and reworked version of the classic book by Stephen Kemmis and Robin McTaggart, now joined by Rhonda Nixon, The Action Research Planner is a detailed guide to developing and conducting a critical participatory action research project. The authors outline new views on ?participation? (based on Jürgen Habermas?s notion of a ?public... more » sphere?), ?practice? (as shaped by practice architectures), and ?research? (as research within practice traditions). They provide five extended examples of critical participatory action research studies. The book includes a range of resources for people planning a critical participatory research initiative, providing guidance on how to establish an action research group and identify a shared concern, research ethics, principles of procedure for action researchers, protocols for collaborative work, keeping a journal, gathering evidence, reporting, and choosing academic partners. Unlike earlier editions, The Action Research Planner focuses specifically on critical participatory action research, which occupies a particular (critical) niche in the action research 'family'. The Action Research Planner is an essential guide to planning and undertaking this type of research.« less
