Abstract
In this article I explore how the research circle can work as a strategy for knowledge development. The article is based on empirical material from the action research project A research circle on children’s participation in child welfare services (CWS), the objective of which was to improve the participation of children and adolescents in CWS. The participants in the project included representatives of three CWS offices in Norway and researchers from Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL). This study provides a unique analysis of how the research circle model provides structure and strategies for combining critical reflection on practice with theoretical insight, promoting knowledge production and serving as basis for improving practice.
