Workshop 2b (2.15 - 4.30) Participatory Action Research in Education

Presenter:
Professor Stephen Kemmis

Bio Note

In this workshop, Stephen Kemmis will briefly outline his view of participatory action research in education, especially his views about how action research initiatives open communicative space among those involved. He will then invite conversation with participants about such topics as the nature of participatory action research, doing action research, the use of a participatory action research approach in research higher degree studies, and topics participants may wish to raise. The aim is for the session to be informal, conversational and responsive to participants' interests.
