Abstract

The significance of the paper for those engaging in Action Research, is in how, by developing their knowledge, understanding and practice of Living Educational Theory Research and other values-led research for systemic change, which contributes to the flourishing of Humanity, they can more fully realise their potential for changing lives for the common good. This paper is also focused on exploring the question, “How do I recognise, value and work with insights Action Research offers practitioner-researchers developing methodological rigour and innovation to understand, improve and explain their values-led practice for the common good?” Methods are used to demonstrate how Action Researchers engage with other values-led practitioner researchers, to change themselves, their communities and societies, for the common good, while respecting and working with diverse voices and perspectives. I draw on the work of practitioners working in diverse fields and contexts engaged in researching their values-led practice and generating valid accounts of their living-educational-theory research for the common good and the good of the communities they live and work in. For example, the data drawn on includes doctoral and masters research of practitioners living and working in diverse cultural and physical contexts around the world. Papers published in the Educational Journal of Living Theories and other peer-reviewed journals, and accredited masters and doctorates are also drawn on. These are used to illustrate how practitioner-researchers can draw insights from accounts of other people’s Action Research and their own, to improve their contribution to a global knowledgebase all can draw on for the greater good.
