Theological Action Research (TAR) is a way of doing and teaching theology and forming students that surmounts the problems associated with both formal theologies and theological ethnographies. Drawing from models of action research developed in other fields, this paper outlines an approach to teaching practical ministry grounded in a collaborative mode of inquiry capable of generating new insights into humanity's relation to God while also engendering the ethical-political powers that give shape to collective life. As a process of what anthropologist Lia Haro calls eth-o-graphy, Christian formation and knowledge production cannot be disconnected from cooperative participation in communities of practice dedicated to this kind of social, ecclesial activity. The paper goes on to describe how the author has begun to implement this TAR model at a Catholic, Jesuit institution, offering some promising preliminary findings on the potential it holds for training ministry students.

神学行动研究（TAR）是一种教与学神学并培养学生的方法，它克服了与形式神学和神学民族志有关的问题。借鉴其他领域发展起来的行动研究模型，本文概述了一种以协作式探究模式为基础的实践事工教学方法，该方法能够对人与上帝的关系产生新的见解，同时也产生了使集体得以形成的伦理政治权力生活。作为人类学家利亚·哈罗（Lia Haro）所谓的民族文字学的一个过程，基督教的形成和知识生产不能脱离合作性参与致力于这种社会，教会活动的实践社区。
