Course Details

This course will provide candidates with the knowledge and skills to use participatory action research (PAR) practices and approaches. Candidates will develop theoretical and practical knowledge related to a collaborative approach to research. The theoretical framework situates stakeholders in schools and community organizations as experts in their field and sees collaborative research between institutions of higher learning and schools and communities as an opportunity to authentically address germane problems and issues while promoting shared learning.

Outcomes: This course emphasizes valuing the epistemic assets that local stakeholders bring to identifying and working toward solutions that benefit their missions and finding ways to bring attention to their work through research and publications.
