GOMEZ-RAMIREZ, Heidy Cristina; OTALVARO-ORREGO, Jaider Camilo and CARDENAS-OSSA, Ana María. A community researcher in an PAR study with young people: case analysis. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.2, pp.325-343. Epub Oct 31, 2023. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/rlcsnj.21.2.5745.
A Participatory Action Research study was carried out with young inhabitants of a peripheral neigh-borhood in the city of Medellin. This study drew on the principles of narrative research, dialogue of knowledge and thematic research, as proposed by Popular Education. The phases of the study were: formulation of a research question based on the narration of life stories; identification of borderline situations and generative themes for action; training on research techniques and tools so that the young people could answer questions they had developed themselves; and action as a result of the young people using research techniques. Results included the experience of a young university student woman from the community and the emergence of her habitus as a community researcher and critical subject with the capacity to produce knowledge that transformed her personal and community interrelations as well as her life plan.
