Montage: Improvising in the Land of Action Research
Windle, Sheila; Sefton, Terry
Canadian Journal of Action Research, v12 n3 p13-28 2011
This paper and its appended multi-media production describe the rationale and process of creating and presenting a "digitally saturated" (Lankshear & Knobel, 2003), multi-layered, synchronous "montage" (Denzin & Lincoln, 2003) of educational Action Research findings. The authors contend that this type of presentation, arising from the fusion of Collaborative Action Research (CAR) and arts-based research (ABR), conveys more fully the complexity of context-specific, classroom-based CAR. Viewers and readers are invited to experience vicariously, interpret critically, and construct uniquely this "new type of knowledge." (Contains 1 footnote.)
