This blogpost outlines the participant-facing materials for the action research project “Growing Equity” including a Brief , Participant Information Sheet, and Consent Form These documents are meticulously designed to ensure clarity, engagement, and adherence to ethical standards. As the project has evolved, it has undergone several iterations to refine its scope and ethical considerations, reflecting a dynamic approach to research and participant engagement.
Brief
The Brief comprises two versions: Accessible Brief and the Artefact Brief. Both aim to provide students with engaging and comprehensible material. The Artefact Brief, an interactive A3 document folding into A4, offers a unique format for interactive content and note-taking. Inspired by Ikigai and “The Artist’s Way,” it serves as a guide for personal and professional growth, encouraging students to align their lives with their passions.
