尽管参与在行动研究文献中被广泛讨论，但相对较少的研究涉及建立参与关系本身。本文试图通过一项“第一人称行动研究”来填补这一空白，该研究涉及犹太研究人员与以色列的一个巴勒斯坦阿拉伯非政府组织之间的关系，该组织未能实现我们信奉的参与价值观。它采用行动科学的方法，对这种关系进行联合批判性反思，并对反思中的数据进行分析。它提出了两种“行动理论”：一种旨在解释参与的悖论，另一种旨在更有效地处理参与悖论。通过开放我们的学习，包括我们的错误，让其他行动研究人员仔细审查，我们希望产生可操作的知识，这些知识可以有助于在行动研究中建立真正参与的关系。
Although participation is widely discussed in the action research literature, relatively few studies deal with building the participative relationship itself. This article attempts to fill that gap through a 'first-person action research' involving a relationship between Jewish researchers and a Palestinian Arab non-governmental organization in Israel that failed to live up to our espoused values of participation. It employs an action science method for joint critical reflecting on this relationship and analyzing the data from the reflection. It presents two 'theories of action': one aimed at explaining the paradox of participation and one for dealing with it more effectively. By opening our learning, including our errors, to the scrutiny of other action researchers, we hope to generate actionable knowledge that can contribute to building genuinely participative relationships in action research.
