Participatory action research extends knowledge and improves social 
practices through processes that empower ordinary people. Action re-
search projects proceed through cycles of planning, acting, observing 
and reflecting, with the participation of the people affected by the 
practices under consideration. 

Participants study through the Internet. In this Unit you will learn 
how to engage in research and action to improve professional prac-
tices as twin aspects of the same process. Action research empowers 
people affected by research through participation in all aspects of 
the research cycle. 

Action research is a form of applied research well established in 
education, community development and management, and increasingly 
used in nursing, health professions, agriculture and engineering.
