Today, Göran Goldkuhl gave a seminar on action research and its continuation into practical inquiry.
Action research is an established research approach in information systems. Such an approach is aiming at both 1) local intervention and improvement and 2) contribution to the scientific body of knowledge. The practical value outside the local practice is however seldom emphasised. It is therefore desirable to expand this kind of research to deal with general practice contributions. A research approach – practical inquiry – that goes beyond action research will be described at the seminar.
