Abstract

Abstract Participatory research methods in education, such as action research, have been around for some time. Recently, not only researchers but also research policy makers have highlighted the importance of participation between society and research. Citizen science, science with and for society, and practice-based educational research are examples of approaches that aim to bring society and research more closely together. In this paper, we explore underlying premises behind practice-based research policies in the EU and in Swedish educational research policy. In order to understand how participation can be understood, we have analysed them closely through a lens of Indigenous methodologies. Results reveal an underlying understanding of participation as nonreciprocal where expertise is a key concept, researchers hold this expertise, and where the main responsibilities for research lie with the researchers. However, the results also indicate a sense of respect for practice and a willingness to form relationships between research and practice. Keywords: practice-based research, school-based research, participatory research, Indigenous methodologies, Citizen science, research policy

基于本土方法的实践研究政策:欧盟与瑞典教育

摘要参与式教育研究方法，如行动研究，已经出现了一段时间。近年来，不仅科研人员，而且科研决策者都强调了社会与科研之间参与的重要性。公民科学、有社会和为社会服务的科学以及基于实践的教育研究都是旨在将社会和研究更紧密地结合在一起的方法的例子。在本文中，我们探讨了欧盟和瑞典教育研究政策中基于实践的研究政策背后的基本前提。为了了解如何理解参与，我们从土著方法的角度对其进行了密切分析。研究结果揭示了一种对参与的基本理解，即专业知识是一个关键概念，研究人员拥有这种专业知识，研究的主要责任在于研究人员。然而，结果也表明了对实践的尊重和在研究与实践之间建立关系的意愿。关键词:实践研究、校本研究、参与式研究、本土方法论、公民科学、研究政策
