Community-based participatory research

Ernest T. Stringer in Action Research Edition 4 demonstrates that community is not a place. It is a state of mind.

This research seeks to change the social, organizational, and personal dynamics of research so that all who participate

2017). In regards to disseminating results, the final phase of program evaluation is when the data that was collected is then analyzed. The evaluators take the time to develop the findings through research, draw conclusions from the data, and finally make the best recommendations for the program that are based on the findings (Capella University, 2017). Depending on the type of program evaluation being conducted, the evaluators may be managers or staff that works within the program. For instance, formative

Where the research seems to need bolstering, is a process to identify how this approach affects other at-risk members of our learning communities. In this paper, I will discuss the potential of using interdisciplinary,

It attempts to combat desertification which is defined as “land degradation in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas resulting from various

Action Research is way of learning things with different types of means. Some learn new things by doing it (O 'Brian, 1998). It could be through collaborative inquiry, participatory research, action learning or through contextual action (O’Brian, 2001). Basically, Action Research involves group of people working towards the same goals. For example, the company X created a group of 5 people to figure out the problem the company is facing such as to figure out ways that caused poor performance. In

national conversation with similarly situated, contemporary immigrants and other ‘outsiders’”(Abram 2005:21). As we can see, Abram has been dedicated from the start to civic engagement through community collaboration. Abram continually ensures that the museum has the resources and insight needed for community engagement. This is done in several ways. For instance, Abram and the Board of Trustees are committed to ensuring that there is funding for not only the various programs the museum engage in,

Prior to entering the field, the aim of the research was to undertake a qualitative, interview based study of young people’s transitions. However, as this chapter will begin to outline, participant observation at Crayville and Realclub unearthed high aspirations which young people found difficult to achieve and the problematic stigmatisation that their communities faced through gang and deprivation labels. It was through such discussions that it became apparent that young people were more equipped
