    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 L
    This 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.

    The Historical roots and contemporary tendencies in Participatory Research: Implications for Health care
    (0000) Tandon, Rajesh
    This paper delves into the historical roots and contemporary tendencies of participatory research (PR), particularly in the context of health care. It examines the evolution of PR as a critique of traditional social science methodologies and as an educational process rooted in adult education practices. Drawing on the works of Paulo Freire, Ivan Illich, and others, the paper highlights the epistemological shifts brought about by PR. It discusses how PR legitimizes experience and action as bases for knowing and integrates these into a framework of popular education. The implications of PR for addressing inequalities in health care and fostering community participation in knowledge creation are also explored.
