in the writings of John Dewey, the great American
educational philosopher of the 1920s and 30s, who
believed that professional educators should become
involved in community problem-solving. Its
practitioners, not surprisingly, operate mainly out of
educational institutions, and focus on development

applying learning in a social context. It is often the
case that university-based action researchers work
with primary and secondary school teachers and
students on community projects.
