Participatory Research (PR),as an alternative to dominant social science research methodology and an approach for social change, gained recognition in the 70s. More than three decades later, however, much more is needed for the inclusion of PR in the formal higher education system. This paper highlights the status of PR in institutions of higher education in India; it analyses the viability of its inclusion and presents the challenges it faces across social science disciplines, in degree level courses, as well as in doctoral research. Drawing upon national and international experiences ,the paper explores ways by which higher education institutions in India can include PR in the curriculum and teaching practices .Item Workshop report teaching of participatory research, 4-5 August 2005(2005-08) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)Item Second national inter professional dialogue on participaroty development and participatory research, April 18-24, 1997(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA) and Association of Schools of Social Work in India (ASSWI), 1997-04) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)The Second National Inter-Professional Dialogue on Participatory Development and Participatory Research took place at PRIA, New Delhi, from April 18-24, 1997, organised in part the Association of Schools of Social Work in India. Eighteen social work teachers from across the country attended as a residential cohort alongside senior practitioners and researchers serving as resource persons. The programme built upon a dialogue held in 1995 and aimed to develop conceptual clarity on participatory research and development while working out their implications for social work education. The sessions traced the history of development approaches and social work education in India, examined participatory research's evolution since the 1970s, and compared it with conventional social work research. Speakers including Rajesh Tandon, T K Oommen, Binoy Acharya, Sheela Patel, and Joe Madiath addressed governance, urban and rural participation, and global donor policy. A field visit to Panchayati Raj sites in Haryana grounded these discussions in practice. Three PRIA-funded research projects were presented and analysed. Closing group work produced consolidated reports on curriculum reform and issue-specific action plans drawn from the week's case studies.Item Participatory training: Philosophy and perspective(0000) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)The paper examines the assumptions underlying participatory training as a response to systems of inequality that concentrate power and control over the minds of ordinary people. Education, media and institutional knowledge production have historically devalued popular knowledge and eroded the self-confidence of ordinary people to think, act and transform their own realities. The paper proposes a set of guiding beliefs, termed articles of faith, centred on the capacity of ordinary people to learn, change and grow, as the basis for translating these ideas into practice. Conditions required for this translation include respecting learners and their experience, creating structured opportunities for sharing and critical reflection, strengthening self-esteem, and establishing mutuality between learner and trainer within a learner-centred and learner-controlled process. Training is presented as an ongoing, long-term intervention rather than an isolated event, directed toward generating new knowledge and countering hegemonic control. The paper closes by stating that trainers must first clarify their own assessment of reality, their vision of a better world, and their guiding articles of faith before designing training programmes.
