The Discursive Project and the Psychodynamic Voice

Connected knowing is a significant theme for action research. This contribution connects current understanding of discourse in action research to the frame of psychodynamic thinking.

It concludes that the development of action research in education might have been different if connections between the group analysis of Lewin. Trist and Bion had been maintained .
