Phenomenography as seen by an action researcher

Action research processes generate a very wide variety of data in very diverse ways – and that once generated, they bear examination in diverse ways, provided that the processes of reflection on data are collaborative, socially contested, involve 'critical' subjectivity, and lead to further action as well as the development of theory. Can phenomenography be used as a method for engaging with data in the context of action research? My answer to that question would be 'certainly'. And this chapter really describes how I came to that conclusion.
