Discussion Transformative worldview

Discussion Using Research to Challenge the Status Quo Directions: Consider the transformative worldview and, using the Creswell and Creswell (2022) discuss ways in which the researcher may approach their research design in order to uplift marginalized voices and challenge systems in which marginalized groups may be oppressed (i.e. racism, etc.). Include reasons why the constructivist worldview may "not go far enough for an action agenda to help marginalized people" (Creswell & Creswell, 2022, p. 10). (pasted text at the end of this) Use peer-reviewed article for which you believe the author holds a transformative worldview. In your discussion, you will include an APA reference for the article as well as two to three reasons why you believe the article fits the transformative worldview and comment on the research.

Web. Humans engage with their world and make sense of it based on their historical and social perspectives-we are all born into a world of meaning bestowed upon us by our culture. Thus, qualitative researchers seek to understand the context or setting of the participants through visiting this context and gathering information personally. They also interpret what they find, an interpretation shaped by the researcher's own experiences and background. • The basic generation of meaning is always social, arising in and out of interaction with a human community. The process of qualitative research is largely inductive; the inquirer generates meaning from the data collected in the field The Transformative Worldview Another group of researchers holds to the philosophical assumptions of the transformative approach. This position arose during the 1980s and 1990s from individuals who felt that the postpositivist assumptions imposed structural laws and theories that did not fit marginalized individuals in our society or issues of power and social justice, discrimination, and oppression. There is no uniform body of literature characterizing this worldview, but it includes groups of researchers that are critical theorists, participatory action researchers, community-based participatory researchers, Marxists, feminists, and racial and ethnic minorities. It also includes persons with disabilities, indigenous and postcolonial peoples, and members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, and queer communities. Historically, the transformative writers have drawn on the works of Marx, Adorno, Marcuse, Habermas, and Freire (Neuman, 2009). Fay (1987), Heron and Reason (1997), Kemmis and Wilkinson (1998), Kemmis and McTaggart (2000), and Mertens (2009, 2010) are additional authors writing about this perspective. In the main, these inquirers felt that the constructivist stance did not go far enough in advocating for an action agenda to help marginalized people. A transformative worldview holds that research inquiry needs to be intertwined with politics and a political change agenda to confront social oppression at whatever levels it occurs (Mertens, 2010). Thus, the research contains an action agenda for reform that may change the lives of the participants, the institutions in which individuals work or live, and the researcher's life. Moreover, researchers need to address specific important social issues of the day, issues such as empowerment, inequality, oppression, domination, sup-pression, and alienation. The researcher often begins with one of these issues as the focal point of the study. This research also assumes that the inquirer will proceed collaboratively to not further marginalize the participants as a result of the inquiry. In this sense, the participants may help design ques-tions, collect data, analyze information, or reap the rewards of the research. Transformative research provides a voice for these participants, raising their
