PS282 Lecture Notes - Participatory Action Research
Document Summary
Program has to match the needs of the community. Programs for at risk teens, studied effect size. Mean effect size was . 02, 21 had negative effect sizes (kids were more likely to do drugs etc. ) Cookbook approach (1970s): doing exactly the same thing in every same place you are in the world, blamed the participants not the approach if i did not work. Adaptation of programs: sometimes we have to change programs, the ppl delivering the programs (spiritual leaders) Intervention/ innovation: changing evidence based programs makes it not evidence based. Emancipatory: ppl are not free, they are bound, things are preventing them from being what they are meant to be. Recognition and acknowledgment that traditional research has failed. Egalitarian: at the same level, give the people that are the problem a voice, have them at the table. Context: food tasting amazing when you are really hungry. Process and outputs if we give them food then everything will be fine? .
