Sharing Control: Developing Research Literacy through Community-Based Action Research
Juergensmeyer, Erik
Community Literacy Journal, v5 n2 p153-167 2011
This article suggests that the methodology of community-based action research provides concrete strategies for fostering effective community problem solving. To argue for a community research pedagogy, the author draws upon past and present scholarship in action research and participatory action research, experiences teaching an undergraduate writing course revolving around action research, and conversations with community members who have benefitted from student research.
