Measuring in action research: Four ways of integrating quantitative methods in participatory dynamics

Abstract: Although action research uses both qualitative and quantitative methods, few contributions have addressed the specific role of the latter in this kind of research. This paper focuses on how quantitative methods can be integrated with participatory dynamics in action research designs. Four types of integration are defined and exemplified. The paper concludes with some reflections on how the integration of quantitative methods in these designs must address epistemological and methodological issues.

“…Mixed methods action research takes a participatory, performative focus, integrating quantitative and qualitative methods with an action research methodological approach [ 25 ]. Martís’ [ 26 ] diagrammatic representation below (Fig. 1 ) highlights how combining methods in this ways allows for the integration of measurement and understanding to inform collective action.…”

“…PAR is often associated with a qualitative research approach only and thus it is important to advocate it as a mixed‐methods approach . A mixed‐methods approach raises questions of ontological and epistemological compatibility, such issues also arise from the use of quantitative methods in participatory action research.…”

“…A mixed‐methods approach raises questions of ontological and epistemological compatibility, such issues also arise from the use of quantitative methods in participatory action research. Marti carried out a review of how quantitative methods (QUAN) have been integrated within PAR, categorizing them into four approaches under either sequential integration or embedded integration. This categorization can be seen in Table 1 .…”

“…Men CP behøver ikke udelukkende at anses som en kvalitativ disciplin. Derfor var en spørgeskemaundersøgelse en af de anvendte metoder i dette projekt 11 (Greenwood & Levin, 2011;Martí, 2016). Rationalet er, at hvis metoden bruges med respekt for vaerdierne i CP og i overensstemmelse med deltagernes ønsker og behov, kan den give flere nuancer og skabe relevans for andre projektinteresserede målgrupper (fx beslutningstagere m.m.…”
