This is an interesting paper by Jim Parsons. It is mostly geared towards Action Research at schools, but can easily translated for the use of Action Research at universities.
He starts off with collating information about the unique context of Action Research and follows on going through five key principles of research ethics for Action Researchers. He elaborates on each of these and gives some great examples and thoughts on how to implement these principles.
Also of particular interest to me where the 25 questions he lined up at the end of the paper. These are questions to consider when engaging in Action Research and I find them very useful. These allow me to consider the impact of my action research on the lives of my students and on the university community.
