Emerging and Evolving Issues of Action Research Praxis: An Australian Perspective.

Kemmis, Stephen; Di Chiro, Giovanna

Peabody Journal of Education, v64 n3 p101-30 Spr 1987

Two major contradictions found in the "Deakin view" of action research are identified and discussed. These contradictions are characterized by the tension between individual and cultural/collective action in action research; and the tension between technical and practical conceptions and culturally based conceptions of the nature of educational improvement.
