Critical Action Research: A Model of Social Work Knowing

Abstract

In response to the important philosophical and methodological questions being asked in social work, this article presents a model for social work knowing that is founded on the tenets of critical theory synthesized with principles and practices from action research. The model provides the essential empirical support for social work interventions and outcomes and is consistent with the social work code of ethics and the social work profession's commitment to elimination of oppression. An example of the process, the Maine Adolescent Project, is used to illustrate the implementation of the model.
