| Description | The aim of this article is to cast doubt on supposed automatism in preferring a “critical” function of participative action research and to propose the principle of making the function of every single participative action re¬search a matter of reflected choice. “Critical” and “conforming” functions of participative action research are distinguished and the interrelation between the function of every single participative action research which is assumed by non-expert research participants and by the researcher who assists them is discussed. Reflecting on the function and aims assumed by non-expert participants is recommended so that a realistic goal of participative action research can be established. |
