摘要

本文以作者實際策劃和參與的「外籍新娘識字班」為例，討論實踐式研究的理論、方法及其對社會研究的意義。文中說明如何運用「受壓迫劇場」(Boal 1979)的理念及技巧，並轉化傳統研究方法，以培力(empower)主流社會的邊緣族群。同時，作者主張，實踐式研究能成就更深刻的研究成果，因為積極地參與社會改造過程，使研究者更能直接觀察與體會社會建構及其變革的機轉。

並列摘要

Based on the ”foreign brides literacy programs” the author has initiated and participated, this paper discusses the theories and methods of praxis-oriented research, and its implication to social studies. It illustrates how the concepts and techniques of the ”theater of the oppressed” can be applied, with the use of transformed traditional research methods, to empower the marginalized groups. It is proposed that praxis-oriented research can achieve more sophisticated research results, because by actively involving oneself in the process of social transformation, the researcher can observe and examine much more directly the mechanisms of social construction and transformation.
