Morten Levin’s “Academic Integrity in Action Research” Revisited: Bildung as Interiority

Abstract

AbstractThis article revisits Morten Levin’s article, “Academic integrity in action research” published in the journal, Action Research (Levin 2012). It develops the main theme of rigour and relevance from the perspective of interiority. Interiority is a philosophical theory and method that enables action researchers attend to the data of their consciousness, that is how they experience, question, understand, test their understanding, make judgments, make decisions and act, which Levin understands as bildung. I offer interiority as the perspective on how rigour and relevance may be understood and integrated in a reframing of the bildung of action researchers as Morten discussed it in 2012.
