Recherche-action et recherche collaborative : quel rapport aux savoirs et à la production de savoirs?
Over the last fifteen years or so, various types of participatory research have been growing in popularity, including action research and collaborative research. They all adopt a more symmetrical relationship between the research scientists and practitioners and a concern for the development of these professionals; however, some of their underlying theoretical/epistemological hypotheses and the methodological approach differ. This contribution is meant to present both types of research to clarify issues and challenges specific to them, and to reflect on their relationship with knowledge and knowledge production.
