ABSTRACT

In this article I explore how the research circle can work as a strategy for knowledge development. The article is based on empirical material from the action research project A research circle on children’s participation in child welfare services (CWS), the objective of which was to improve the participation of children and adolescents in CWS. The participants in the project included representatives of three CWS offices in Norway and researchers from Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL). This study provides a unique analysis of how the research circle model provides structure and strategies for combining critical reflection on practice with theoretical insight, promoting knowledge production and serving as basis for improving practice.

摘要

在本文中，我探讨了研究圈如何作为知识发展的策略发挥作用。本文基于行动研究项目“儿童参与儿童福利服务（CWS）研究圈”的实证材料，其目的是提高儿童和青少年对 CWS 的参与。该项目的参与者包括挪威三个 CWS 办公室的代表和西挪威应用科学大学 (HVL) 的研究人员。本研究对研究圈模式如何为实践批判性反思与理论洞察相结合、促进知识生产和作为改进实践的基础提供结构和策略提供了独特的分析。
