Abstract

The connection between the philosophy of "education" and "design" is dependent on the influence of social norms, and the inherent existing connection between the elements of "truth seeking" and "action orientation", as well as the common theme of "Action in pursuit of desirable change" as long as the intended result is achieved. Taking these into consideration, the current study aims to analyze the commonalities of “Education Research” and “Design Research” subtypes, under the title of “Ethical Action Research”. Research in the aforementioned fields is the same as taking action in them. The current conceptual research is of a fundamental-theoretical type, which has used the descriptive-analytical method to analyze, interpret and combine the results and findings, after examining the fields of "Ethical Action Research", "Education Research" and "Design Research". The results indicate that producing knowledge in the previously mentioned research subtypes is done in the form of "Ethical Action Research" in the fields of science, philosophy and technology. "Theoretical reason", "Productive Action" and "Instrumental Action" are utilized to evaluate and find solutions for the dilemma. Inductive, analogical and abductive reasoning are the dominant logical solutions for the preeminent realization of the aforementioned action. “Ethical Action Research” could therefore be considered as the intersection between the two researches types of “Educational Action Research” and “Research Through Design”. It is advised that for future research, their interaction and synergy is taken into consideration due to the commonalities in their background.
