Chapter summary

When it comes to methodologies dedicated to enacting change, applied research including evaluation seeks to offer recommendations for change; action research embeds change directly into its research processes; while emancipatory research attacks change at fundamental levels including liberation and self-determination.

Evaluative research is undertaken to determine the value of some initiative such as a programme or policy and covers both implementation and outcomes. It is a highly political, real-world endeavour that calls on a variety of methods.

Action research is dedicated to the integrated production of knowledge and implementation of change. Its goal is to empower stakeholders to be involved in their own learning and development through a participatory and collaborative approach.

Participatory action research is explicit in its agenda of empowerment and radical change. Its goal is to help community groups construct their own knowing in order to create and action their own plan for a better future.

Critical ethnography attempts to expose dominant systems in the interest of the ‘marginalized’. Change comes from the voice offered to the oppressed, as well as the starting point it offers for action at individual, legislative and policy levels.
