| Tiivistelmä: | An argument for an enrichment of action research methodology is presented. To the current state of action research, a constructivist epistemological argument is added, as well as a crucial inspiration from some futures-oriented planning approaches. Within the domain of social/organizational research, the futures perspective implies that knowledge of this world must be based upon images of desirable futures, "futures theories", not causal descriptions of a problematic present. Futures theories identify ends and means for individual and organizational development. They are generated jointly by the stakeholders of a system and the involved action researchers and are tested every time that the instructions are followed by the stakeholders. |
