520 $a The research consists of a case study of the method used by an active non-governmental organization (NGO) currently operating in developing countries.
520 $a The operating method of the selected NGO has been reviewed in light of the characteristics of the research methodology called "action research."
520 $a The central question of the research was: Do the means and practices by which the selected NGO operates constitute a practical example of action research? Action research is centered on the generation of new knowledge useful in the solution of daily-life problems. Even though the NGO does not claim to use action research in its interventions, it appeared that the beneficiaries of each intervention are co-creating new knowledge used in solving their daily life problems. After studying the theory and practice of the NGO and conducting interviews with the organization's founders and staff, with individuals directly and indirectly involved in NGO's interventions in Brazil, and with government representatives in Brazil I compared the theory and practice of the NGO to the theory and practice of action research. The results showed that the method used by the selected NGO differs from action research in the conception of personal experience. In action research, the starting point of a social act is the acknowledgement of an oppressed condition; in the NGO's method, the starting point is the acknowledgement of the potential capability to freely act in a given social setting. However, in all other significant aspects the NGO's method emulates action research.
520 $a The outcome of the research has been significant for the NGO because it provided an opportunity for the organization to more clearly define and understand its method. It is also significant to the field of action research in that it provides a comprehensive example of action research in the field and demonstrates its power for the generation of new knowledge.
