About this interactive workshop:
Action research offers the structure to work collaboratively with other
professionals and community members to explore complex problems. It
provides people with the means to take systematic action to resolve
specific problems, which distinguishes the approach from other forms of
social research. This workshop is designed to concentrate on problem
solving through inquiry into human problems in real contexts.
As you learn about action research you will have the chance to reflect
and consider its application to practical situations, and to understand
the skills and processes related to action cycles and improving
professional practice in community settings. There will be a mix of
content and activity, with theory/practice integration.
Possible content
In keeping with action research's origins in community activism, you
will be able to influence the content in this participative workshop.
The workshop will provide the framework for the following:
I. An overview of the action
research cycle
II. Strengths of an action model
III. Overcoming barriers in action
research
IV. Facilitation skills, group
collaboration, applying transparency
