Summary: | In this study, two social research approaches are presented: Action Research and Participatory Research. Participatory Research has evolved methodologically and includes participant and ethnographic observation, adapting to technological changes through netnography in order to understand cultural and communicational phenomena in cyberspace. Action Research has also improved over time by eliminating dogmas, seeking to qualify the researcher’s insertion in social interventions aimed at solving collective problems, and encompassing broad interaction between researchers and participants. In this context, the present text addresses the ontological and epistemological aspects of Participatory Research and Action Research. Before addressing these concepts, it is essential to understand the different research paradigms that guide them. These beliefs and assumptions form a paradigm that should guide the choice of the research method to be used. In other words, the paradigm will determine the overall research strategy and define the data collection and data analysis techniques that the researcher will employ. Furthermore, with regard to Action Research, the involvement of the researcher in the context and activities under study is emphasized, allowing participants to contribute to the research for the benefit of their own group. The insertion of the investigator in the natural environment where the phenomenon under study occurs is, in turn, fundamental for Participatory Research, although there are different modalities of this approach. In short, both approaches share the idea that research should be oriented toward social transformation, seeking to generate concrete changes in social reality based on the reflections generated by the data collected in the research. That is, the main objective is the practical application of knowledge for the benefit of society, going beyond academic output. |
