Abstract

Action research is an investigative approach that aims to integrate the active participation of those involved in the research process with the transformation of observed practices. The objective of this article is to describe the first participatory cycle of the action research methodology within the scope of the Electronic Processing Center of the Court of Justice of the State of Acre, highlighting the interactions between theory and practice, how the participants were involved in the stages of diagnosis, planning and intervention, seeking to promote improvements in the functioning of the center and strengthen collective learning; and to present as examples the effects arising from the implementation that indicate that, by providing direct and reflective participation, action research favored the development of practical solutions and the construction of new knowledge, aligning theory and action in a collaborative and effective way given the results achieved.
