Participatory Action Research
Author: Jacques M. Chevalier
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136261699
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 498
Book Description
This book addresses a key issue in higher learning, university education and scientific research: the widespread difficulty researchers, experts and students from all disciplines face when trying to contribute to change in complex social settings characterized by uncertainty and the unknown. More than ever, researchers need flexible means and grounded theory to combine people-based and evidence-based inquiry into challenging situations that keep evolving and do not lend themselves to straightforward technical explanations and solutions. In this book, the authors propose innovative strategies for engaged inquiry building on insights from many disciplines and lessons from the history of Participatory Action Research (PAR), including French psychosociology. The ongoing evolution of PAR has had a lasting legacy in fields ranging from community development to education, public engagement, natural resource management and problem solving in the workplace. All formulations have in common the idea that research must be done ‘with’ people and not ‘on’ or ‘for’ people. Inquiry of this kind makes sense of the world through efforts to transform it, as opposed to simply observing and studying human behaviour and people’s views about reality, in the hope that meaningful change will happen somewhere down the road. The book contributes many new tools and conceptual foundations to this longstanding tradition, grounded in real-life examples of collective fact-finding, analysis and decision-making from around the world. It provides a modular textbook on participatory action research and related methods, theory and practice, suitable for a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, as well as working professionals.

Nouvelles dynamiques de recherche en éducation
Author: Martha Anadon
Publisher: Presses de l'Université Laval
ISBN: 2763712991
Category : Education
Languages : fr
Pages : 124
Book Description
Le renouvellement des pratiques de recherche en éducation est un phénomène marquant des dernières décennies, elles-mêmes caractérisées par la problématique de la professionnalisation de l'enseignement. C'est au coeur de cette professionnalisation que la recherche en éducation s'est donné des nouvelles finalités, des nouvelles préoccupations, ainsi que de nouveaux axes de développement, centrés sur la pratique éducative. Les textes réunis dans cet ouvrage éclairent, chacun à leur manière, une partie de ce phénomène en explicitant quatre formes de recherche : la recherche-action, la recherche collaborative, la recherche-développement et la recherche évaluative. Axées sur la personne et sur son développement professionnel, ces nouvelles dynamiques de recherche sont susceptibles de contribuer à l'étude des pratiques, à la production des connaissances qui permettent de saisir la complexité de la réalité éducative et à la transformation des pratiques professionnelles. Ces contributions intéresseront les étudiants, mais aussi les praticiens et les futurs enseignants qui ont pour responsabilité de développer, au cours de leur formation, un esprit réflexif capable d'autoévaluation et de perfectionnement professionnel. Elles s'adressent aussi aux chercheurs et aux professionnels afin qu'ils prolongent ces interrogations sur les nouvelles dynamiques que propose la recherche en éducation.

Remarques et propositions sur les structures de la recherche publique en France - Rapport n° 46, juin 2012
Author: ACADEMIE DES SCIENCES
Publisher: Lavoisier
ISBN: 274306482X
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
La recherche publique française souffre ! Elle souffre de trop de complexité, de trop de papiers à remplir, de trop peu de temps à consacrer à la recherche elle-même. Le chercheur a le sentiment de n'être souvent qu'un simple enjeu administratif entre différentes instances ou organismes, à un moment où la mondialisation des échanges oblige les pays les plus dynamiques à compter sur la créativité et l'innovation pour maintenir un emploi de qualité. Consolider l'existant, ne rien changer, ou pire, faire plaisir à toutes les chapelles qui se sont construites et consolidées au cours des trente dernières années seraient un poison lent qui conduirait à la paralysie de nombreux laboratoires de qualité qui essayent coûte que coûte de se maintenir au meilleur niveau international. La recherche publique doit être attractive pour les esprits les plus curieux, les plus créatifs et les plus avides de connaissance de chaque génération, loin des routines bureaucratiques, afin de continuer à faire de la France un pays de haut niveau intellectuel. C'est dans cet esprit que les membres de l'Académie des sciences ont travaillé, en analysant dix points jugés fondamentaux, en faisant des propositions pour chacun d'entre eux et en dégageant quatre recommandations synthétiques, jugées essentielles pour l'avenir de la recherche publique dans notre pays.

World Yearbook of Education 2006
Author: Jenny Ozga
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134241399
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
This volume considers the ways in which educational research is being shaped by policy across the globe. Policy effects on research are increasingly influential, as policies in and beyond education drive the formation of a knowledge-based economy by supporting increased international competitiveness through more effective, evidence-based interventions in schooling, education and training systems. What consequences does this increased steering have for research in education? How do transnational agencies make their influence felt on educational research? How do national systems and traditions of educational research - and relations with policy - respond to these new pressures? What effects does it have on the quality of research and on the freedom of researchers to pursue their own agendas? The 2006 volume of the World Yearbook of Education explores these issues, focusing on three key themes: globalising policy and research in education steering education research in national contexts global-local politics of education research. The 2006 volume has a truly global reach, incorporating transnational policy perspectives from the OECD and the European Commission, alongside national cases from across the world in contrasting contexts that include North and South America, Canada, France, Singapore, China, Russia and New Zealand. The range of contributions reflect how pervasive these developments are, how much is new in this situation and to what extent evidence-based policy pressures on research in education build on past relationships between education and policy. This book considers the impact of the steering processes on the work and identities of individual researchers and considers how research can be organised to play a more active role in the politics of the knowledge economy and learning society.
