Generating Knowledge in Popular Education: From Participatory Research to the Systematization of Experiences

Alfonso Torres Carrillo

International Journal of Action Research, 2010, vol. 6, issue 2-3, 196-222

Abstract: The article presents a revision of how popular education has integrated into its practices and reflections on participatory research. After a presentation of popular education as an educational movement and pedagogical current, the article develops a historical reconstruction of the relationship between these two, while offering a critique of the legacy and challenges of this kind of double education: research with an emancipatory perspective. The article ends focusing on the systematization of experience as an emergent research mode in the field of popular education. Although there are different approaches to systematization, all of them try to recover and interpret the meanings that manifest themselves in social practices, with the purpose of strengthening them.
