ABSTRACT

This paper untangles the complex realities of Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights education in Uganda based on a Participatory Action Research with staff and volunteers of an NGO. A detailed portrait is offered of the dilemmas faced by the team around value-contradictions in this culturally sensitive domain, the complex nature of change, programme targets and community expectations. Through double loop learning methodology, the Team reflected on their own mental models and strategies used in dealing with these dilemmas and reframed their action theories towards more effective collaboration with learners and community members. The research process and outcomes illustrate the transformative power of reflection and double loop learning; resulting in practical guidance for education NGOs facing dilemmas in community collaboration.

本文基于与非政府组织的工作人员和志愿者进行的参与式行动研究，阐明了乌干达性生殖健康和权利教育的复杂现实。详细描述了团队在这个文化敏感领域围绕价值矛盾所面临的困境、变革的复杂性、项目目标和社区期望。通过双循环学习方法，团队反思了他们自己在处理这些困境时使用的心智模型和策略，并重新构建了他们的行动理论，以便与学习者和社区成员更有效地合作。研究过程和结果说明了反思和双循环学习的变革力量；从而为面临社区合作困境的教育非政府组织提供实用指南。
