The Action Research Planner: Doing Critical Participatory Action Research

About this book

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 Jrgen Habermass notion of a public 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.
