ABSTRACT

Researchers can also focus on Action Research which can include different schools of thought such as the Critical Theory school of Action Research. This gives priority to understanding the political, economic and living cultural influences in their practice and understandings. Living Theory researchers include insights from these different approaches to improve what they are doing and in generating valid, values and evidence-based explanations of their educational influences in learning. The living wall is attempt to combine practice and principle in a creative way that will provide a template or strategy that may help or inspire other reflective practitioners to generate their own living educational theories. A living-theory-methodology can use insights from different methodologies such as Narrative Inquiry, Action Research, Phenomenology, Ethnography, Autoethnography, Case Study and Living Theory research.
