The practical import of political inquiry
\"This book examines a basic problem in critical approaches to political and social inquiry: in what way is social inquiry animated by a practical intent? This practical intent is not external to inquiry as an add-on or a choice by the inquirer, but is inherent to the process of inquiry. The practical intent in inquiry derives from the connection between social inquiry and the participant's perspective.\"

Practising community-based participatory research : stories of engagement, empowerment, and mobilization
\"There is increasing pressure on university scholars to reach beyond the \"ivory tower\" and engage in collaborative research with communities. But what exactly is community-based participatory research (CBPR) and what does engagement look like? This book presents stories about CBPR from Manitoba Research Alliance projects in marginalized communities. Bringing together experienced researchers with new scholars and community practitioners, the stories describe the impetus for the projects, how they came to be implemented, and how CBPR is still being used within the community. By providing space for researchers and their collaborators to share the stories behind their research, this book offers rich insights into the power and practice of CBPR.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Doing community-based research : perspectives from the field
\"Community-based research (CBR) offers useful insights into the challenges associated with conducting research and ensuring that it generates both excellent scholarship and positive impacts in the communities where the research takes place. This depends on two important variables: the capacity of CBR to generate good information, and the extent to which CBR is understood and constructed as a two-way relationship that includes a set of responsibilities for both researchers and communities. Offering expert advice on the crucial relationship between communities and researchers, the authors outline the main stages of the CBR process to guide researchers and practitioners. They discuss the reasons for conducting CBR, provide tips on how to design research, detail how researchers and communities should get to know one another, as well as how best to work in the field, and how to turn fieldwork into research that counts. By focusing on the lessons learned from the use of CBR, the authors make the messages, lessons, and practices applicable to a variety of research settings. Drawing collectively from decades of community-based research experience and including vignettes from researchers from around the world who share their CBR experiences, Doing Community-Based Research is an essential handbook for scholars, students, and practitioners.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Promoting Replicability in Developmental Research Through Meta-analyses: Insights From Language Acquisition Research
Previous work suggests that key factors for replicability, a necessary feature for theory building, include statistical power and appropriate research planning. These factors are examined by analyzing a collection of 12 standardized meta-analyses on language development between birth and 5 years. With a median effect size of Cohen's d = .45 and typical sample size of 18 participants, most research is underpowered (range = 6%-99%; median = 44%); and calculating power based on seminal publications is not a suitable strategy. Method choice can be improved, as shown in analyses on exclusion rates and effect size as a function of method. The article ends with a discussion on how to increase replicability in both language acquisition studies specifically and developmental research more generally.

Vernetzen, fordern, konsolidieren, starken–zur Grundung der Gesellschaft fur transdisziplinare und partizipative Forschung/Networking, promoting, consolidating, strengthening - on the foundation of the Society for Transdisciplinary and Participatory Research
Um den Herausforderungen der Gegenwart nachhaltig begegnen zu konnen, ist transdisziplinar und partizipativ ausgerichtete Forschung zentral. Diese Art der Forschung erfordert verstarkten Austausch und verstarkte Vernetzung zwischen den Forschenden. Auf Initiative der Plattform tdAcademy wurde dazu die Gesellschaft fur transdisziplinare und partizipative Forschung (GTPF) gegrundet, die sich als Anlaufstelle und unabhangige Interessenvertretung der transdisziplinaren und partizipativen Forschung versteht--auch gegenuber Politik und Forderinstitutionen. Die Mitglieder engagieren sich in Vernetzung, Aus- und Weiterbildung sowie bei der Konsolidierung dieser Forschungsansatze und der Qualitatsstandards.
