It could be a consensus statement that there could be weaknesses on documentation in a scientific manner. However, the information we received from our projects might be missing appropriate action research procedures and methodologies. If we compile information in the appropriate and a scientific manner and pay attention to right kinds of action research procedures, the importance of documentation would definitely be increased. Along with our regular professional practice we will be able to do various research and later publications, then we can minimize the information gap.
My points in short are:
1. Focus on action research/ scientific procedure : capacity building of the team
2. Good information processing / documentation in a scientific method
3. Publication of the compiled information and minimize the gap.
What do you think are the other ways to fill up the information gap and improve action research on disabilities and rehabilitation in developing countries like Nepal? There is not enough resource to conduct pure research and there are various organizations working for disability, rehabilitation and inclusion of PWDs.
Firstly, you have to establish communities of enquiry which are well vested with principles and procedures of action research enquiry. Such communities should be led by those whom research is intended for i.e. persons with disabilities themselves. The processes of enquiry should be as systematic and rigorous as possible to ensure trustworthiness of the process. An external action research evaluator is usually helpful to give an outsider view of the process. Data collected through action research should be arranged in a more analysable form and the analysis process must be thorough and detailed. Ones the process is scientifically credible the findings can be published in any reputable scholarly journal
