Community-Appropriated Research Model (CARM): from Connectivity to Impact through Making and Media

该项目旨在确定一个可行的社区主导的研究过程，以便在服务提供下放到社区一级时建立和分享有关能力建设和凝聚力的知识。它借鉴了两个行动研究“连接社区”项目的实践经验和第三个项目的方法讨论。它使用创造性的实践来激励、组织和分享社区产生的研究，作为广播/播客。学术小组将监测设计这种内容的三个不同区域小组，并在更广泛的地理和社会传播中测试知识交流的有效性。每个案例研究区域将选择和研究一个主题，并制作一个广播播客/广播来分享。在今年资助的众多AHRC互联社区项目中，有两个项目因其激进的方法而脱颖而出，成功地将社区团体聚集在一起进行研究并相互学习。这里提出的项目结合了这些范例，参与者Utd和刺激参与非正式创意经济（SPICE），以及工艺实践的研究网络，连接工艺和社区（CCC），重点是通过制作的新颖表达形式，提取过程的DNA，最终达到社区研究和分享（Light等人，2011年）。CARM项目关注的是这三个互联社区研究活动的方法和方法论，以展示它们如何支持社区创造身份和凝聚力。它建立在对如何利用行动方法、社区媒体和创造性制作技术（如记录戏剧和叙事以供反思和分享）使社区团体能够收集和分享知识并传播使其与众不同的东西的见解之上。在构建“社区专属研究”模型的过程中，CARM将为群体提供一种可复制的方法来分享他们的观点，并确定凝聚力和身份塑造实践，无论是良性行为循环、社会企业家精神、重大事件还是参与当地活动，考虑诸如分析和报告体验式学习的严格性质以及如何参与不同社区等问题。通过这种方式，CARM将提供社区参与理论的发展，同时使社区作为研究生产者和研究用户，在从中央提供的服务向地方提供的服务过渡的时期传播最佳实践并建立能力。它还将制作一个社区播客档案，供社区电台和其他形式的社区、社区间和代际活动使用。Light， A, Wakeford， T, Egglestone， P和Rogers， J（2011）平等地位研究？英国社区与学术知识的合作研究，2011年本土知识技术会议，2011年11月。

This project is to identify a viable community-led research process for building and sharing knowledge about capacity building and cohesion as service provision devolves to community level. It draws on the practical experience of two action research Connected Community projects and the methodological discussions of a third. It uses creative practice to inspire, organize and share community-generated research as radio/podcasts. The academic team will monitor three diverse regional groups devising this content and test the effectiveness of knowledge exchange over a wider geographic and social spread. Each case study area will choose and research a topic and make a radio pod/broadcast to share.Of the many AHRC Connected Community projects funded this year, two stand out for their radical methodology, successfully bringing together community groups to conduct research and learn from each other. The project proposed here combines these exemplars, Participants Utd and Stimulating Participation in the Informal Creative Economy (SPICE), with a research network into craft practices, Connecting Craft and Communities (CCC) where the focus was on novel forms of expression through making, to extract the DNA of the processes that culminated in community researching and sharing (Light et al 2011). The CARM project focuses on the methods and methodology that exemplified these three Connected Community research activities to demonstrate how they support communities in creating identity and cohesion. It builds on insights into how using action methods, community media and creative production techniques, such as recording drama and narrative for reflection and sharing, could enable community groups to collect and share know-how and to communicate what makes them special. In constructing a model of 'community-appropriated research', CARM will provide a reproducible means for groups to share their perspectives and identify cohesive and identity-making practices, be that virtuous behaviour cycles, social entrepreneurship, significant events or engagement in local activities, considering issues such as the nature of rigour in analysing and reporting on experiential learning and how to engage diverse communities. In this way, CARM will offer a development of theories of community engagement while equipping communities as both research producers and research users to spread best practice and build capacity in a period of transition from centrally provided to locally provided services. It will also produce an archive of community podcasts for use on community radio and other forms of community, inter-community and inter-generational activity.Light, A, Wakeford, T, Egglestone, P and Rogers, J (2011) Research on an Equal Footing?
