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进程，以便在服务提供移交给社区一级时，建立和分享有关能力建设和凝聚力的知识。它借鉴了两个与行动研究有关的社区项目的实践经验，以及第三个项目的方法讨论。它使用创造性的实践来激励、组织和分享由社区产生的研究，如广播/播客。学术小组将监督设计这一内容的三个不同的区域小组，并测试在更广泛的地理和社会传播范围内知识交流的有效性。每个案例研究区将选择和研究一个主题，并制作广播/广播进行分享。在今年获得资助的许多AHRC Connected Community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和相互学习。这里提出的项目结合了这些范例、参与者UTD和刺激非正式创意经济(SPICE)的参与，以及一个手工艺实践研究网络，将手工艺和社区(CCC)联系起来，重点放在通过制作获得新的表现形式上，以提取最终促成社区研究和分享的过程的DNA(Light等人，2011年)。CARM项目侧重于示范这三个相互关联的社区研究活动的方法和方法，以展示它们如何支持社区创造特性和凝聚力。它的基础是深入了解如何使用行动方法、社区媒体和创造性的制作技术，如录制戏剧和叙事以供反思和分享，从而使社区团体能够收集和分享专门知识，并交流使它们与众不同的东西。在构建“社区适用的研究”模式时，CARM将提供一种可重复的方式，让团体分享他们的观点，并确定具有凝聚力和认同感的做法，无论是良好的行为周期、社会企业家精神、重大活动还是参与当地活动，考虑到分析和报告经验学习的严谨性以及如何让不同的社区参与等问题。通过这种方式，CARM将发展社区参与理论，同时使社区作为研究生产者和研究使用者，在从中央提供的服务向地方提供的服务过渡期间传播最佳做法并建设能力。它还将制作社区播客档案，用于社区广播和其他形式的社区、社区间和代际活动。Light，A，Wakeford，T，Egglestone，P和Rogers，J(2011)平等基础研究？2011年11月，英国本土知识技术会议，社区和学术知识的合作调查。

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?
