Action Research in Inviting Settings

Inquiry or research conducted in the context of a focused effort to improve the quality of one’s own organisation and its performance is a typical action research cycle. Practitioners who analyse data to improve their own practice conduct action research, yet the process can be done by individuals or by teams of colleagues. In this course, students will plan an action research project focused on Invitational Education® or set within an Invitational Education® context. In addition to critically reflecting on the intellectual and practical questions that action research raises; theoretical, philosophical, and epistemological questions around action research will be explored.
