Figure 1: Simple Research ProcessSource: Wadsworth 1998The Simple Research Process diagram (Wadsworth 1998) shows a single cycle of PAR, which was the method usedin the initial work of this project where researchers identified the topic (Safe Driving at Ntaria) and drew a set ofsurvey questions from this complex issue. We planned the survey carefully and then took it to a wide demographicof residents to generate the data.The recommendations to Wurla Nyinta from this first cycle of research were that the community neededimproved driver instruction, improved re-licensing practices and drink-driver training.Figure 2: Cyclical Research ProcessSource: Wadsworth 1998The Cyclical Research Process (Wadsworth 1998) describes the flow-on from one cycle of research to the next.This is what happened with the results of the first cycle of research: the data raised further questions when wereflected on the findings, and we determined that a second cycle of research was needed to investigate vehiclesafety and maintenance at Ntaria through focus groups and photo elicitation.At Ntaria we followed the four primary steps of the PAR cycle, each one requiring specific actions, and then tooktwo further outcome steps, each one involving moving to a new stage of inquiry and engagement, and potentiallyleading to the second cycle of the PAR method.This list records the process of the research team at Ntaria as we modified and contextualised PAR for ourresearch purpose.1. Discuss, consultIn this step we asked open questions to help ‘find’ the potential research focus from the scope of the project:What is the client asking for?Who are the other stakeholders and which of their opinions are important?What can literature or information from other studies tell us?What ‘gaps’ in knowledge are there?What kind of research method would work best?2.

Do it Introduce the research and explain the informed consent and options to participants Do the research the same way with each participant Keep a list of the target demographic as the research progresses Regularly discuss in the team how it’s going, what it’s like, what’s working well, what’s hard, etc. Talk about making changes if they are needed; decide carefully if they are Use the demographic information to guide which participants are chosen as the research progresses4. Review, reflect Collate the research data Extract the trends and findings Make some analysis of what the research indicates Report the findings back to Wurla Nyinta5. Recommendations Make recommendations for actions as a result of the research6. Inform next cycle Critically review the process, language, questions, and other operational aspects to extract learning andbest practice guidelines for the next cycle.2.2.2 Learning through PARIn this project PAR engaged the researchers and the community in making good decisions and engaging with thevarious actions detailed in the LIP.At a personal level PAR models recognise that researchers and learners are in the best position to be able toidentify areas to strengthen their own work. Applied at Ntaria, PAR situated the development, reflection, design,application, interpretation and recommendations with the researchers as primary actors, and it situated thecommunity and Wurla Nyinta in the position of active recipients of the research. The community, through theirWurla Nyinta members, can put the recommendations forward towards outcomes through the structure of LIPreview and delivery.Our PAR relied on these cycles of inquiry being built upon each other, the first being reviewed in order to informthe second, which resulted in information that is useful to the broad selection of stakeholders who review andimplement service provision on the community.Final Report: Strengthening Community Research in Remote Service Delivery at Ntaria 15
