Teoribruk og teoriutvikling i aksjonsforskning i møte med mangfold som samfunnsrealitet

• This chapter starts from two assumptions. First, Western European societies are characterized by changing religious, ethnic and linguistic diversity. Second, this is perceived as a challenge to both existing knowledge and practice, while at the same time it lays the basis for new knowledge and practice. The chapter discusses how knowledge production and the development of new practices may come about simultaneously, using action research as a way of addressing existing social complexity. We also revisit an earlier action research project, which focused on religious education and diversity. A main aim was how to deal with sociocultural diversity as part of subject area teaching and learning. The chapter addresses how theory was used and subsequently developed through different phases of three sub-projects.
