Engaging with stakeholders: What can we learn from action researchers?
Research has more impact when those directly involved have a voice in the process. If you want to engage effectively with participants important initial decisions should not be made without their input. What are the critical problems and priorities? Who or what can offer important insights about the background and context? Engaging with stakeholders is central to action research, and valuable in any study, whether qualitative or quantitative. This lively webinar will offer the opportunity to learn from experienced action researchers.
