Another aspect of CAR is what kind(s) of actions it is decided to experiment with. As CAR is about changing and improving conditions and practices during a research process, it is important to create a research environment where it is acceptable to try and fail. This involves a process of negotiating what actions will be tried together, when and by whom – and what kind of process the co-researchers want to have to generate data for documenting the changes and improvements being made in the community. One way of doing so is by co-constructing cycles of action and reflections.

The purpose of research cycling is to ensure that the research outcomes are well grounded for the participants involved in the focus of the inquiry. This means that co-researchers repeatedly explore emerging concepts for ideas that they believe should be included or omitted. By doing so, ideas and concepts may develop and improve through a co-constructed cycling process between actions, experiments and reflections.
