Aleksandar Halmi
; Pravni fakultet, Zagreb
Abstract
The author analyses the main advantages and deficiencies of actional methodology in relation to other models and strategies of applicative analysis. As social work parts from the position of radicalism, the action research gains importance by enabling the social worker-investigator to be directly included into the social space and to become himself an active participant of the process' observed. The actional analysis based on the humanist position is primarily interested in man and his needs. The main deficiences of actional methodology are: subjectivism, »actionalism «, »empirism« and the lack of typological classification.
