Seven quality choicepoints for ARJ
Action research for transforming the poverty field
Restorative action research
This paper presents restorative action research - a relational, collective, vital approach to fostering wellbeing. It is based on cooperative inquiry carried out by six academics over three years, for the purpose of enhancing their own wellbeing in the increasingly precarious world of higher education, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the concept of “vital assemblages” as an analytical tool, the paper illustrates how restorative act…
Shining light on the dark side of action research
Self-in-Field Action Research in Natural Spaces of Encounter
The goal of this paper is to examine the role of participatory action research (PAR) in improving relationships in “natural spaces of encounter” where members of conflicting groups meet and interact. It describes and analyzes a project, “the Academic Puzzle,” that fosters organization-wide change in relations between Jewish and Arab students at a College in Israel. The project consists of 16 programs, all initiatives by College faculty, administr…

An emerging conversation between action research and conflict transformation
What is good action research
Refreshing our purpose with Action Research journal Our purpose since inception with this international, peer-reviewed journal is to offer a forum for participative, action-oriented inquiry into questions that matter-questions relevant to people in the conduct of their lives, that enable them to flourish in their organizations and communities, and that evince a deep concern for the wider ecology. Our purpose has not changed. The world around the …
From doing to writing action research
Having an impact on the impact of impact factor on action research
Negotiating Reality
This article develops theory to address a dilemma experienced as “resistance” to a conflict transformation process among Jewish and Arab nursing students in Israel. This dilemma is analyzed from two theoretical perspectives: (a) the “postcolonial approach,” which applies ideas of critical conflict theory and group dynamics to generate change in intergroup relationships, and (b) the “negotiating reality approach,” which applies ideas of social con…
Schools as agents of social exclusion and inclusion
Although schools are usually regarded as important agents for social inclusion, research has shown that they may also function as agents of exclusion itself. The goal of this paper is to deepen our understanding of how schools function as agents of exclusion and how they can become more effective agents of inclusion. It is based on action research carried out with the ‘New Education Environment’, a programme aimed at helping secondary schools in …
The changing landscape of arts and action research
Watching the evening come across Cadair Idris, a spectacular mountain in northwest Wales, you can see the landscape change moment by moment as the shadows of the clouds shift across the slope and the sky darkens. The view is at once constantly changing and eternal – the bones of the mountain, the essential truth of the landscape, remain (see Figure 1). Action research has changed the landscape of social science research by dramatically shifting o…
The paradox of participation in action research
Although participation is widely discussed in the action research literature, relatively few studies deal with building the participative relationship itself. This article attempts to fill that gap through a ‘first-person action research’ involving a relationship between Jewish researchers and a Palestinian Arab non-governmental organization in Israel that failed to live up to our espoused values of participation. It employs an action science met…
There is nothing so theoretical as good action research
The goal of this article is try to retrieve the idea of `good theory' that provides accessible and useful tools for practitioners, academics, and other participants in action research. In doing so, we advocate the importance of explicit theory building and testing as an integral part of action research practice. The association of theory with positivist research methodologies has resulted in the rejection of theory by many action researchers, who…
Die strukturelle Verbindung von individuellen Handlungen und systemischem Lernen
The Power of Why
Clearly defined and measurable goals are commonly considered prerequisites for effective evaluation. Goal setting, however, presents a paradox to evaluators because it takes place at the interface of rationality and values. The objective of this article is to demonstrate a method for unlocking this paradox by making goal setting a process of evaluating goals, not simply defining them. Goals can be evaluated by asking program stakeholders why thei…
Towards a Theory of Inclusive Practice
This article demonstrates how action research can fill a theoretical gap in the literature on ‘social exclusion’. Although the literature points to the centrality of ‘relationships’ in overcoming exclusion, it offers little theory on the nature of these relationships and how they are formed. This article presents ‘actionable knowledge’ for creating interpersonal relationships that interrupt processes of exclusion. It draws on the findings of an ‘…
Designed blindness
Designed Blindness
This article is intended to stimulate a dialogue between program theory evaluation and action science for the purposes of cross-fertilization and mutual enrichment. Both program theory evaluation and action science use the concept of implicit “theories of action” as a central construct in the study of social practice. However, an action science approach suggests a wider understanding of program theory that (1) specifies the links between individu…
