Youth-Adult Participatory Action Research

This project trialled a new research methodology called youth-adult participatory action research (YAPAR). Through four mini projects that incorporated multiple curriculum areas, 11 students and their teacher worked in partnership with the researcher to revitalise their flexible learning program in ways that enhanced engagement for the students and teacher. The project’s outcomes extended beyond tangible improvements to the program, as the students also learned about their capabilities, the teacher reported a greater sense of efficacy and the researcher was able to refine her own practice.
