Item Global foundations of community based research(0000) Tandon, Rajesh; Hall, Budd LItem Participatory research: Canadian adult educators build a global movement(0000) Hall, Budd L; Jackson, Edward TItem Item Participatory research: An approach for change(International Council for Adult Education, 1975) Hall, Budd LItem From clarity to anarchy: Participatory research approach(1979) Tandon, RajeshAs debates on participatory research gained ground in the late 1970s, questions arose about whether it was a methodology, a political stance, or something in between. This paper, presented at the African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research, examines those tensions by contrasting the perspectives of grassroots activists with those of professional researchers. It considers how participatory research challenges the conventions of classical inquiry by embracing action and subjectivity, yet in doing so risks appearing unruly or even anarchic. Rather than seeking neat resolutions, the study positions participatory research as an unsettled and evolving practice, shaped as much by politics as by method.Item Regional Workshop Participatory Research for Development and Change Culture Andhra Pradesh 26-28 Dec 1979(1979-12-26) Neterajan, A.V.The Institute of Educational Strategy Studies and Socio-logical Research, Tamil Nadu jointly with the Department of Adult and Continuing education, Andhra University organized this workshop on Participatory Research for Development and Change, sponsored by the International Council for Adult Education, Canada, and Public Enterprises Centre for Continuing Education, New Delhi.

That is why in Tanzania we place a great emphasis on the need to make adult education a popular movement so as to facilitate full participation of the adult population in implementing national development programmes. For we believe that you cannot develop a man, but you can help him develop himself. Hence the importance of making him aware of his potentials and his role in bringing about the development he desires.Item Reflections of a Feminist Political Scientist on Attempting Participatory Research in Aotearoa(0000)This is written from the perspective of a pakeha (white) participatory researcher in the Political Science Department of the University of Canterbury. Participatory research is not well established in Aotearoa (New Zealand), but there are precedents, and there are some current examples of work which incorporates some of the elements of participatory research.. I am pleased to record my reflections on attempts I have made, because the process has been valuable in both the Aotearoa context, and in terms of my international contact. I shall describe how I got involved in participatory research, and discuss where I have found the real problems to be. Included also is a personal view of some wider issues in Aotearoa which have implications for social action.Item Participatory Research Project Participatory Research: Research with Historic Consciousness(0000) Cain, Bonnie J.The concept and practice of participatory research is being developed by educators/researchers as a reaction to the historic abuse and failure of traditional research to ask and answer appropriate and useful questions in the context of development projects in the Third World. myself included, feel that this effort participatory research process or model Clearly many educators, the elaboration of a is necessary and possibly unavoidable. However, the fact remains that participatory research has been thus far, defined negatively in terms of characteristics and actions to avoid or overcome. The developers have yet to outline a clear strategy of how to carry out such an operation. This lack of a clear definition presents a large obstacle to the development and acceptance of participatory researchItem About PRA and PRA Tools(0000)Participatory Assessment (PRA) is a particular form of QUALITATIVE RESEARCH used to gain an in-depth understanding of a community or a situation. It is sometimes called participatory 'rapid' assessment because the information is collected in a few weeks. PRA is a form of assessment based on the participation of a range of different people including people from the community affected by the work. The emphasis is on participation rather than on being particularly rapid (hence PRA is sometimes called participatory relaxed assessment). The aim is for people to analyse their own situation, rather than to have it analysed by outsiders. This makes it a particularly useful tool for any kind of community development.
