Addressing the bridge between theory and practice in the field of inclusive education in Spain involves searching for strategies of knowledge mobilisation, and action research (AR) is one of them. This study explores how its practical development questions the roles that researchers adopt throughout the process. A content analysis of several focus groups raises questions about the challenges that researchers undertake, and the dilemmas they face due to the need to develop a more participatory, transformative, and emancipatory action research. As conclusions of this study, we emphasise that the roles adopted by researchers are configured by their positioning when choosing AR as a method for investigat-ing critical transformation of reality, their different conceptions of what knowledge mobilisation is, and their commitment to the precepts of inclusion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
