"The three realms of meaning: practical knowing, theory and interiority
provide a framework for understanding the epistemological challenges
confronting action researchers. Action researchers have two external horizons:
that of practice and that of theory. Practice engages with the world
of practical knowing, where the challenges are the successful completion
of practical tasks. Theory engages the realm of scholarship as action researchers
seek to develop understanding of, for example, the dynamics of
organization and change. Interiority involves shifting from what we know
to how we know, and is a process of intellectual self-awareness. Interiority
goes beyond practical knowing and theory, not by negating them or leaving
them behind, but appreciating them and recognizing their limitations.
Interiority is the integrating factor that enables action researchers to hold
both, to appreciate the value of both and to move from one to the other
appropriately. It is a process at the cutting edge of integrating theory,
practice and research." (author's abstract)... view less
