Action Based Research

The kairos for the article, Action Based Research, is when the author, Jethro Pettit describes his own and his students experiences in the master’s program. Pettit talks about what he has found and helps to give the audience a better understanding of what action based research is. The kairos is significant because that’s when the audience gets further understanding for action based research.

Action Research: An alternative approach to bringing about changes in knowledge, policy, and practice

Participatory Methods: Interaction between someone and the subject

Reflective Practice: Learning about everything after fully understanding yourself first.

Cooperative Inquiry: Learning a subject by interacting with those who are already knowledgeable of the subject. 

Pettit's argument was that in order for you to fully understand something it must be through action based research. Pettit states it is much easier to learn about a subject by interacting with the source personally through own experience rather then getting it second hand. 

The difference between conventional and action research is action research you find out by conducting your own new research and conventional you're using research already found by others. This is significant because change is always constant. you cant rely on old research to stay the same. 

To co-create and mobilize knowledge for change, means to gain and discuss new knowledge with others everyday. 

I could use the article Action Based Research while completing my current research essay by not only using articles and webpages i find on the internet as sources for information but to get new information by actually looking and discussing it with professionals to get the most current information on my topic.
