Action research is a perspective in which research and action are interconnected.  This level two advanced research course focuses on the history, theory, and practice of research where the researcher is involved as a facilitator, in a consultant and participant role, supporting the members of an organization or community to create change.  The theories and models of Friere, Argyris, Lewin, W,F. Whyte, and many others are incorporated into different approaches to action research and participative action research (PAR). (Ph.D. program only) Prerequisite(s): Completion of RES 1015 . 3 credit(s)
