A Framework for Using Action Technologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this volume, we have explored action technologies that enhance action and learning: action research, action-reflection learning, action science, collaborative inquiry; participatory action research, and popular education. Each of these technologies offers adult and continuing educators a unique approach to changing individuals, groups, organizations, and societies. Whether the adult educator is interested in social change or personal and professional development, action technologies may guide the process. In this chapter, we compare the different action technologies, discuss issues of validity when thinking about action technologies as research, and conclude with a discussion of the uses of action technologies in adult and continuing education.
