“…Given that the researchers also comprised a student community, the intensity of the wave experience reflected both the student researcher community and the individual researcher. Johnston et al (2003) provide some description of asynchrony among action researchers with respect to their perceptions and activity; however, the invocation of waves to describe such a process has yet to appear in the extant literature. There is relatively little literature dealing with AR, engagement, disengagement, and how these processes help shape each other.…”

The focus of this article is the exploration of and an explanation of student researchers' affect and activity in an action research project. Using a hermeneutical theoretical framework we argue that the researcher group as a whole constructs a wave process and at the same time each individual researcher in the group creates a wave process that may be similar or different to that of the group. These processes shape each other, through phases of engagement and disengagement in the researcher cycle, and make the research experience richer. The article examines five separate researcher narratives, extracting excerpts, to show how these examples showcase this wave phenomenon. Two themes, activity and affect, are identified in the narrative excerpts provided; sub-categories such as roles on a team and context of research are explored in these themes. The importance of explicit discussion of researcher engagement and disengagement in wave cycles is discussed.
