German term
aktivierende Sozialforschung
German to English
Social Sciences
Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
This is, as you may guess, about social research methods. The term "activierende Sozialforschung" I suspect, refers to a specific model with a specific English translation. Does anyone know this term? The original sentence is:
In dieser Tradition sind Bürgerausstellungen ein Beispiel für anwendungsorientierte und aktivierende Sozialforschung.
Thanks for your help,
Moabit

action research
but there a lot of different terms for the same thing out there, as the article in the reference suggests
Note from asker:
| this does indeed suggest that "aktivierende Sozialforschung" is a separate method from Action Research, but it doesn't suggest an English term for it. Ah, I will ask the writer of my article and let you know. Thanks, Moabit |

: Im Bereich der pädagogischen Forschung fanden die ersten "Action-research"-Projekte in den USA statt. Geprägt wurde der Begriff von der sozialpsychologischen Schule Kurt Lewins. http://www.kindergartenpaedagogik.de/56.html http://www.web.net/~robrien/pape

Note from asker:
| I found some reference like this too, but they aren't documents written by English-speaking social scientists, they are translations of German documents. I'm still not sure. But thank you for the links! |
