Action research. Ascending from abstract to concrete. Double stimulation.Abstract
The Action Research Methodology, although considered research, with its pragmatic character, is clearly distinguished from traditional scientific research, mainly because, at the same time it alters what is being researched, it is limited by context and by practice ethics. On the other hand, some interventionist methods have also an aspect that make up the action research, the focus on collective action in the search of problem solving, resulting in the assumption that there may be some relationship between this methodology with interventionist principles. In this context, this theoretical essay aims to examine the relationship between the action research with the principles of double stimulation and ascending from the abstract to the concrete. Through literature review, the analysis of the interventionist principles compared to the action research demonstrated that there is a relationship between them, suggesting logic similarities and ways of acting, thus enabling to visualize this methodology as the implementation of the two principles.
