How can you involve students in the action research process?
Action research is a participatory, democratic process concerned with developing practical knowing in the pursuit of worthwhile human purposes. It seeks to bring together action and reflection, theory and practice, in participation with others, in the pursuit of practical solutions to issues of pressing concern to people. As a business development professional, you understand the importance of involving various stakeholders in research processes. Students, often being the most directly affected by educational research, can provide fresh insights and innovative perspectives. To involve them effectively, you must first understand their interests and motivations, and then craft roles in the research process that align with these.
