Qualitative Evidence

Incidents of companies being recovered by their workers that have occurred in different countries have attracted media attention. Based on ideological tendencies, some experts have interpreted these processes as an indicator for their fulfilment of their own predictions.In contrast to these interpretations, this article focuses on the effectiveness of the use of the main premises of Participatory Action Research (PAR). The focus is on understanding the point of view of the involved protagonists. Qualitative evidence is presented (Dz Ru, 2014) demonstrating the existence of disaffected feelings towards experts caused by their inverviewing approaches. This disaffection is explained as a consequence of pre-built ideas connected to the experts' ideological tendencies.

Caring And Healing

The aim of this research was a) to describe the improvement process that allows for the creation of a caring and healing environment that brings changes in nurses, and b) to construct model to create a caring and healing environment for nurses. Participatory action research was conducted in 6 clinical settings of East Japan. The caring and healing environment for nurses was created by redefining the existing problem, disclosing the hidden problems, developing improvement measures, such as opportunity to obtain a new point of view, sharing the experience and thoughts with coworkers, and appraising care.

Critical Participatory Action Research

Critical Participatory Action Research (CPAR) represents a tool for minoritized youth in shaping educational policies. Despite its promise, the politics of engaging in CPAR within structures ensnared in hegemonic ideologies can negate, devalue, and deny the contributions of youth voice. This study highlights how adult facilitators supporting youth researchers negotiate methodological tensions when the politics nested within oppressive structures converge with the ideals of CPAR. Using LatCrit methodology and employing affective labor theory, this qualitative study offers four counterstories interrogating the role of adult allies in CPAR, navigating the politics and perils of engaging in this work alongside minoritized students.

Equal Space

Conducting a participatory action research (PAR) in schools is challenged by traditional asymmetrical power relations between adult teacher-researcher and young student-participants inherent in the school setting. In this article, we present PowerView, a new method that may reduce power hierarchy in the research classroom. Based on postcolonial theory, feminist theories, and critical visual studies, we implemented the idea of ‘reversal-of-the-gaze’ by asking the student-participants in our PAR program to turn their cameras at the instructor-researcher and capture images that represent their point of view of him. Enabling the students’ to gaze back at the instructor-researcher/serial observer with their cameras disrupted the hierarchical power paradigm in the research classroom and created a more equal space. The article will introduce the methodological stages of PowerView and present findings that demonstrate the potential of the method to change power relations between the researcher and students and challenge the power structure at the research classroom.

This article explores decision makers’ responses of surprise or amazement to Students of Color engaged in youth participatory action research (YPAR). To address this topic, I draw upon data collected from a yearlong qualitative study of a YPAR group, applying the theoretical aspects of critical discourse analysis. The findings indicate that the decision makers in the sample expressed surprise at three aspects of YPAR: the students’ (a) capacity as researchers, (b) professionalism, and (c) motivation. These responses—termed “the discourse of surprise”—may have constrained the transformative potential of the students’ research.

Research Type

Community perceptions and practices towards the disease are mainly influenced by traditional medicine. The intercultural perspective in health allows building symmetrical relationships between medical and traditional knowledge. One of the most vulnerable group is under five years age. Exploring the perceptions and practices of mothers and caregivers on the disease and care of children can guide towards better health practices. Objective. Describe the perceptions and practices of mothers about the main health problems of their children during an emergency. Methodology. Quantitative-qualitative study, participatory action-research type with an intercultural perspective. Question guide was prepared for the exchange of knowledge with the focus group technique. Through inductive analysis of the transcripts, themes emerged. Results. Thirty-one mothers and caregivers attended the workshops. There were 48.6% emergencies due to diarrhea, fever and accidents. Home remedies, lack of hygiene in homes and lack of doctors on weekends were noted. Conclusions. Emergencies in children occured in almost half of the morbidity cases in the community studied. A new regionalization is necessary to reduce health gaps for children under five years of age.
