German term or phrase: aktivierende Sozialforschung
This is, as you may guess, about social research methods. The term "activierende Sozialforschung" I suspect, refers to a specific model with a specific English translation. Does anyone know this term? The original sentence is:

In dieser Tradition sind Bürgerausstellungen ein Beispiel für anwendungsorientierte und aktivierende Sozialforschung.

Thanks for your help,

Asker: I found some reference like this too, but they aren't documents written by English-speaking social scientists, they are translations of German documents. I'm still not sure. But thank you for the links!

Notes to answerer
Asker: this does indeed suggest that "aktivierende Sozialforschung" is a separate method from Action Research, but it doesn't suggest an English term for it. Ah, I will ask the writer of my article and let you know. Thanks, Moabit
