dc.descriptionThis paper addresses the ongoing paradigm shift in professional research practices, focusing on the growing importance of reflexivity and participatory action research in the social sciences. It encourages professionals to adopt a more collaborative approach in their research, ensuring that the voices and needs of the communities they serve are respected and incorporated into the research process. The discussion covers how professionals can engage with and empower their clients to take control of the research that affects them, ultimately leading to more meaningful and relevant outcomes for both practitioners and service users.
dc.description.abstractThis paper explores the role of professionals in research, particularly how they can help community groups conduct their own participatory action research. It discusses the historical shift in the perception of science from Newtonian to post-Einsteinian views and the resulting changes in how professionals perceive their involvement in generating knowledge. The paper emphasizes the importance of collaboration with clients or service users in research, highlighting the ethical implications of conducting research 'on', 'for', and 'with' people. It also discusses how professionals can facilitate research that aligns with the interests and values of the critical reference group—the intended beneficiaries of the research.
