Изследване чрез действие: пример за адаптиране и прилагане на активно социологическо изследване в България
Action Research: An Example of Adapting and Applying Active Sociological Surveying in Bulgaria

Summary/Abstract: The article highlights the methodological principles of „Action Research“ (AR), an interactive approach that goes beyond the traditional research arsenal, placing the researcher in the non-traditional role of an „active participant“ engaged in the change of social processes and the solving of particular problems that are the object of sociological research. Action Research is widely applied in different scientific fields – sociology, psychology, pedagogy, economics, management, etc. The article points out the opportunities for applying this innovative approach in sociological analysis. In this regard, the authors also present world research experience, with a focus both on the variety of research methods applied in the framework of AR and on the advantages and limitation of the approach. Some methodological challenges involved in applying this research approach in Bulgarian practice are also presented; the specific experience in AR application in the framework of the comparative research project WALQING (www.walqing.eu) is shared.
