Item Knowledge and Engagement: Building Capacity for the Next Generation of Community Based Researchers(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2016-10) Tandon, Rajesh; Hall, Budd; Lepore, Walter; Singh, WafaKnowledge and Engagement summarizes the main findings of a global study titled ‘Building the Next Generation of Community-Based Researchers’ (a.k.a. the Next Gen project) undertaken between May 2014 and April 2016, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). The overall objective of the Next Gen project was to increase access to high quality training in Community Based Research (CBR) within higher education institutions (HEIs) and civil society organizations (CSOs). The research aimed to understand the current state-of-the-art in pedagogies and strategies for building CBR capacities, and to work towards the strengthening of existing training fieldwork and the theoretical and curricular content on participatory research within and outside academia. The book opens with a theoretical chapter on pedagogical principles about training, teaching and learning CBR, which have been elaborated by triangulating three data sources: systematic literature reviews, a global survey, and case studies on CBR training. It advances the discussion on capacity building for CBR because, while large amounts of literature abound on doing CBR, very little is available on training for CBR. The results of the first-ever global survey on training modalities, materials and locations for CBR are presented in Chapter 3. It confirms, among other things, that the demand for training in CBR far exceeds the supply of training opportunities. Twenty-one case studies (of nine HEIs and 12 CSOs from 14 countries) with lessons form Chapter 4, followed by a comparative analysis of the case studies using the pedagogical principles of training, teaching and learning CBR as an analytical framework. A detailed summary of the project’s findings, conclusions and recommendations round off the book, with appendices containing the guidelines for conducting thematic reviews, the survey questions, a list of institutions providing top training programs in CBR, and the case study framework. Knowledge and Engagement represents a collective effort to highlight many issues and areas of work in CBR training, analyzes the current scenario and opportunities, and provides recommendations on what can be done to provide best quality training for the next generation of community based researchers.Item What is Participatory Research?(0000)Participatory Research (PR) emerged as a response to the limitations of conventional research paradigms and the pressing need to empower marginalized communities. It emphasizes active participation of communities, particularly the oppressed, in the research process, enabling them to analyze their own realities and foster social change. The document highlights the foundational principles of PR, including collective investigation, analysis, and action to address socio-economic, political, and cultural challenges. It critiques traditional power structures and advocates for a democratic, inclusive approach to knowledge generation. Key attributes of PR include problem-posing methodologies, the integration of social investigation with education and action, and a focus on structural transformation to improve lives.Item Participatory Action Research – The aspect of Research(0000) Moser, HeinzThis document explores the concept of participatory action research (PAR) in the context of political, social, and educational strategies. It discusses the shift from expert-driven approaches to those that empower communities, focusing on the role of knowledge in overcoming social inequality. The paper critiques the challenges of using PAR as a means of both challenging and reinforcing power structures, offering insights into the dialogue between researchers and participants, and the cyclical process of knowledge validation through action and reflection.Item सामुदायिक मॉनिटरिंग का अर्थ(0000)मॉनिटरिंग एक ऐसा महत्वपूर्ण शब्द है जो विकास कार्यों में सुधार और प्रगति की प्रक्रिया से गहराई से जुड़ा हुआ है। यह विकास परियोजनाओं में समयबद्ध सुधार और निगरानी को सुनिश्चित करने की प्रक्रिया को इंगित करता है। इस लेख में सामुदायिक मॉनिटरिंग की अवधारणा पर व्यापक चर्चा की गई है, जिसमें समुदाय की सक्रिय भागीदारी को केंद्रीय भूमिका के रूप में प्रस्तुत किया गया है। सामुदायिक मॉनिटरिंग को न केवल परियोजना क्रियान्वयन और निर्णय लेने के लिए, बल्कि समस्याओं के समाधान हेतु भी एक प्रभावी उपकरण के रूप में दर्शाया गया है। यह लेख सामुदायिक मॉनिटरिंग की परिभाषा, इसकी भूमिका और इसके सफल क्रियान्वयन के लिए आवश्यक मुख्य तत्वों को विस्तार से समझाने का प्रयास करता है।Item I Wish This Were a Poem of Practices of Participatory Research(Sage Publications, 2000) Hall, Budd LThis chapter explores the global evolution of participatory action research (PAR), drawing on the author's experiences in Tanzania during the 1960s and 1970s. It traces the influence of Afro-centric and Latin American traditions, highlighting the role of community-based organizations and non-governmental institutions in fostering socially transformative research practices. The chapter acknowledges the intellectual contributions of Julius Nyerere, Paulo Freire, Marja-Liisa Swantz, Orlando Fals Borda, and Rajesh Tandon. Through personal reflections, the author examines the ideological and methodological underpinnings of PAR, emphasizing its commitment to empowering marginalized communities through social investigation, education, and action.Item Framework for Analysis of Participatory Research(International Council for Adult Education, 1978-07) Conchelos, Greg; Jackson, Ted; Barndt, Deborah; Correia, Dianne; Hall, Budd; Harasim, Linda; Icaza, Bernardita; Mansfield, Jennie; Marino, Dian; Rojas, Raul; Al VigodaThis framework provides a guide for analyzing participatory research, including aspects such as the background, people involved, purpose, values, assumptions, and methods. It outlines the contextual factors affecting research outcomes, such as political, economic, and social influences. It aims to assist in the reflection and evaluation of participatory research projects, offering a structured approach to understand the dynamics and effectiveness of participation.
