Résumé : |
As an emancipatory methodology aimed to focus social scientific theorising on actual social problems and examine new directions and guidelines for emancipation and empowerment, action research is based on a joint learning process of researchers and researched. A solid relationship based on mutual trust between both parties is a precondition for good quality research, and provides useful prospects for the social practices being studied. In this article the author explicitly focuses on the relationship between researcher and researched in action research. The first part provides a historical overview, in which Freire rather than Lewin is considered to be the most important founder of participatory and emancipatory action research. The author then goes on to discuss mutual adequacy, explicitness and reflexivity as the principles for building mutual trust between researcher and researched. The article concludes by outlining some ways in which a more equal relationship between researcher and researched can be developed in the course of a particular research. |
