  • PHD-DVP 952 Action Research and Practice Research

In addition, research traditions, theories and methodological issues across a variety of disciplines are examined.

The course will introduce the historical background and development of action research and practice research, including participatory action research (PAR) and participatory practice research (PPR). In addition, research traditions, theories and methodological issues across a variety of disciplines are examined.

The course covers theories of science suited for positioning the epistemological and ontological grounding of action and practice research. Important questions include the following: What are the characteristics of actions research and practice research? Which view of knowledge builds the foundation for these research approaches? What possibilities for developing knowledge exist within different traditions in action research and practice research? What is the potential for carrying out innovative research?

The course includes knowledge on applying these research approaches in designing and developing the students’ research projects. Designing an action or practice research that is manageable within the resources of a PhD project is given special attention. In addition, ethical challenges are highlighted and critically reflected on, such as power relations between researchers and other actors, anonymity and confidentiality, and conflicts in collaboration.
