Postgraduate programs using action research
This paper is Bob Dick's latest conceptualisation of much of his extensive work (including his AREOL course: action research and evaluation online). His focus is on postgraduate programs. He discusses the choices that a postgraduate student faces in conducting action research: as a technician or craftsperson; primarily theory-driven or data-driven research; emphasis on action or research; choices in methodology; and choices in methods to involve people and to collect and analyse data. He also takes up other key issues including literature review, generalising and writing.
