    - - Deweyan inquiry - problem solving that relies on reflection, observation, & experimentation
        
        3.) "Maybe what I should do is"
        
        4.) "Doing that would mean"
        
        2.) "The problem seems to be"
        
        5.) "Let's try this & see what happens"
        
        1.) "Something's wrong"
  - - - came up with
        
        force field theory
        
        is
        
        action & inaction as resulting from driving & restraining forces
        
        -driving forces - forces for change;
        -restraining forces - against change

        Change theory
        
        is
        
        detailed theory of change that includes a 3-step process for planned changes in human settings
        
        2.) Changing - creating an unbalance of forces
        
        3.) Refreezing - reaching a new state of equilibrium
        
        1.) Unfreezing - identifying & removing forces
- - - - research in organizations; emphasis on traditional scientific rigor and making organization a learning organization
        
        to produce change
        
        Theory in use
        
        theory that explains what we do
        
        Single-loop learning
        
        "Fixing" a problem to get fast, desired result
        
        Espoused theory
        
        theory we provide for our actions
        
        Double-loop learning
        
        How a problem relates to the system it's in so a better solution can be found
  - - - when all organization members work to produce systemwide change
  - - - eliminating binary thinking, raising awareness about women's issues, & adding voices to conversations dominated by white men
  - - - finding the best in ourselves & others towards a shared purpose, vision, or goal
        
        4 phases
        
        Dream - results oriented vision
        
        Design - adjust structure
        
        Discovery - identify strengths
        
        Destiny - enact new design
  - - - political possibilities on power of disadvantaged groups in society
  - - - planned, designed, & conducted by one primary person, like a teacher
  - - - research work between multiple members who have an interest in a shared problem
  - - - when a team designs & enacts research on one part of an organization
