Abstract		Action research is neither a general methodological approach in the sense of an "emancipation research" or a "new paradigm research" nor, strictly speaking, a research method. It is a way of organizing research for practical use, and its basic characteristic is that the time-space and social distances between researcher and practitioner are much reduced. Thus it is a functional relationship, a kind of developmental research and organizational counselling, open to various epistemological and methodological approaches. A model of AR is presented with a conceptualization of the functions of the approach, of the relationship between researcher and practitioner, of the principles of research and counselling, and of the processes of the production of knowledge, problem-solving and learning.
