Item Participatory Research for Adult Education and Literacy: Guidelines for Practitioners(International Council for Adult Education (ICAE), 1980-08) Tandon, Rajesh; Barndt, Deborah; Schutter, Anton de; Mustafa, Kemal; Wessel, Mathias; Hall, Budd LThis document outlines guidelines for participatory research in adult education and literacy, emphasizing learner participation in the conception, implementation, and evaluation of programs. It stems from the deliberations at the International Forum on Participatory Research (April 1980) in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia, sponsored by UNESCO and the International Council for Adult Education (ICAE). These guidelines synthesize contributions from international practitioners and provide a framework for promoting participatory research as an approach to socio-economic development and educational empowerment.Item Participatory Research and Popular Education in Africa(1983) Mustafa, KemalParticipatory research and popular education are critical frameworks for engaging oppressed communities in the study of their exploitation, aiming at fostering political consciousness and social transformation. This paper explores the theoretical underpinnings of participatory research as a component of historical materialist practice, its strategic importance in class struggle, and its role in bridging the divide between mental and manual labor. Emphasis is placed on the African context, examining its distinct experiences with participatory research in contrast to other regions such as Latin America. The evolution of participatory research in Africa, its integration into development projects, and the influence of colonial and neocolonial legacies are critically analyzed. The author also delves into debates surrounding methodologies, ideological differences, and the contributions of participatory research to social movements and national development.
