Towards the Theory and Methodology of Action-Oriented Research

Adam Franko ; Inštitut za sociologijo, Ljubljana

Abstract

In this article the author discuss the relationships between the action-oriented researcher and »objects« of the investigations (the investigated and potential »layman« coordinator of the investigation). The author stresses that the action-oriented project can easily develop into »actionism « or »empirism« if there is no established dialogue and cooperation. The main prerequisite for the effective investigation is the pilot survey on the terrain and the inclusion of all the »laymen« into the action-oriented group. The true action-oriented researcher should start with the observation (collecting the data) and participation and should finish with the intervention, i. e. implementation of the actions intentions (induced changes) into the institutional structure.
