Special issue of Action Research Journal on ethics in AR.

Abstract
The theory of action research (AR) pedagogy
presented in this article is, at its core, ethical in nature. For teaching, learning,
and evaluating AR, the theory's goal is to increase individuals’ capacity
to act on their own behalf and preventing themselves from becoming an authoritarian
expert. Achieving such an increased individual capacity requires the integration
and deployment of multiple dimensions of ethical principles and understanding
their implications for the ethics of AR pedagogy. An integration of Ibn Miskawayh's
Islamic philosophy of ethical pedagogy, Iris Young's theory of justice, Greenwood
and Levin's criteria for ethical participation, and my own model of participatory
action research evaluation that is central to the learning process constitutes
the basis of this ethical theory of AR pedagogy.
