Abstract
This short note presents the author's ideas on the future use of the Participatory Approach in the context of the National Adult Education Programme (NAEP). Drawing on Dr. Rajesh Tandon's earlier work, the author discusses how Participatory Research differs from classical social research by emphasizing the shared control of knowledge generation between researchers and the community involved. The note argues for the adoption of this approach within NAEP to foster collaboration, improve the program’s outcomes, and enhance the knowledge and capacity of the participants.
Description
The note elaborates on the concept of Participatory Research and its potential applications in the NAEP, highlighting the advantages of this approach in creating relevant and actionable knowledge. The author suggests that the choice of research problems, methodology, and outcomes should be tailored to address immediate issues faced by the participants, thereby ensuring that the research is grounded in real-world contexts.
