“…Namely, this review articulates common factors that can influence the implementation of high school YPAR projects by providing a synthesis of known empirical evidence about YPAR in high school settings. In conjunction with previous systematic reviews on the benefits of YPAR to youth (Anyon et al, 2018;Shamrova & Cummings, 2017), this review provides useful considerations for adult researchers seeking to integrate the participatory methodology into high school settings. This is an important contribution to the literature because it provides a synthesis of considerations for adult researchers and educational practitioners intending to implement YPAR in high schools.…”

This qualitative systematic review examined the context‐specific factors that influence the implementation of youth participatory action research (YPAR) projects in high schools within the United States. Thematic synthesis was conducted to identify and analyze the YPAR implementation factors that were present in 38 peer‐reviewed studies. Results indicate the following two analytic themes concerning YPAR implementation in high schools: (a) pedagogical strategies and (b) stakeholder dynamics and needs. The themes provide support for existing ecological frameworks of implementation factors and demonstrate that adult researchers’ project‐specific decisions are nested within educational power structures. This paper will discuss the implications of these YPAR implementation themes in executing YPAR projects in high schools.

“…It has shown to be particularly useful in studying and empowering hard-to-reach groups, such as individuals with a low SEP. PAR can lead to interventions better tailored to the needs and context of the target group, and triggers self-reflection and knowledge development (Anyon et al, 2018;Baum, 2016;Cornwall and Jewkes, 1995;Dedding, 2009;Shamrova and Cummings, 2017).…”

‘McDonald’s Is Good for My Social Life’. Developing Health Promotion Together with Adolescent Girls from Disadvantaged Neighbourhoods in Amsterdam

et al. 2020

There is limited knowledge about key factors that enable adolescent girls with a low socioeconomic position (SEP) to adopt a healthy lifestyle. This paper aims to better understand the complexity of addressing health behaviour of adolescent girls with a low SEP by gaining insights into (i) the perspectives of adolescent girls with a low SEP (n = 26) on a healthy lifestyle, (ii) how to develop health promotion that fits these girls’ daily realities, by using participatory action research (PAR) in which girls developed health promotion materials. The study offers an understanding of girls’ daily lives and how health promotion could be improved.

“…Et viktig skille går ved hvor mye deltakerne involveres i forskningen. Deltakende aksjonsforskning (Participatory Action Research, PAR), som benyttes i vårt eksempel, legger opp til aktiv deltakelse og involvering av deltakerne i forskningsprosessen (Shamrova & Cummings, 2017).…”

“…Demokratiske prosesser er retningsgivende for hvordan deltakelsen skal foregå. Dette betyr at aksjonsforskning i større grad enn andre forskningstradisjoner legger til rette for barns og ungdoms deltakelse og medbestemmelse i flere faser av studien (Shamrova & Cummings, 2017;Wattar et al, 2012).…”

“…Dette fordi det legges til rette for aktiv deltakelse fra alle parter (Kennan & Dolan, 2017), og barns og unges kompetanse anerkjennes (Cahill, 2007). Samtidig er deltakende aksjonsforskning mest utbredt med voksne deltakere, og det etterspørres flere PAR-studier som inkluderer barn og unge (Shamrova & Cummings, 2017). Å sikre barns og unges deltakelse og samtidig ivareta deres rett til beskyttelse betegnes som et etisk og metodologisk dilemma, men har i begrenset grad vaert drøftet innenfor PAR-litteraturen (Kennan & Dolan, 2017).…”

Mellom deltakelse og beskyttelse: Aksjonsforskningens mulighetsrom for barn og unge

FørsteamanuensisUiT Norges arktiske universitet sissel.eriksen@uit.no SAMMENDRAG Å gi barn og unge mulighet til deltakelse i forskning om temaer som angår deres liv og levekår er viktig. Samtidig innebaerer forskning med mindreårige deltakere saerskilte forskningsetiske og metodiske utfordringer. De har rett til beskyttelse, og deres integritet må ivaretas. Det kan oppstå et spenningsforhold mellom barns og unges deltakelse og deres rett til beskyttelse, saerlig i forskning om sensitive tema. Dette spenningsforholdet bunner i en dualisme i synet på barn som kompetente på den ene siden og sårbare på den andre. Artikkelen drøfter hvordan aksjonsforskning som metodisk tilnaerming kan fremme barns og unges medbestemmelse og deltakelse, og samtidig ivareta deres integritet. Med utgangspunkt i en barndomssosiologisk forståelsesramme, drøftes aksjonsforskningens mulighetsrom med eksempler fra en studie om en internettbasert selvhjelpsgruppe for ungdom med psykisk syke foreldre. Ved å belyse tre av aksjonsforskningens saertrekk, (1) deltakerorien-This article is downloaded from www.idunn.no. terte prosesser, (2) naer forskerrolle samt (3) forskning for endring, argumenterer vi for at aksjonsforskning er velegnet til å imøtekomme barns og unges deltakelse og samtidig ivareta deres integritet i forskning om sensitiv tematikk. NøkkelordAksjonsforskning, barn og unge, deltakelse, sensitive tema, barndomssosiologi ABSTRACT It is important to invite children and youths to participate in research on issues that affect them. However, research that involves minors raises ethical and methodological challenges. In particular, children and youths' integrity and right to protection have to be ensured. There is a certain tension, a dualism, between children and youths' opportunity to participate and their right to protection, especially in research on sensitive topics. This article discusses how action research as a methodological approach can provide participation of children and youths, as well as ensure their integrity. Based on the Sociology of Childhood framework, we discuss the scope of action research by examples from an action research study of an online self-help group for adolescents with mentally ill parents. By highlighting three distinctive aspects of action research: (1) the participatory processes, (2) the close, active researcher and (3) research for change, we argue that this approach is appropriate to enabling children and youths' participation as well as ensuring their integrity in research on sensitive topics.
