Definition of the aspects of interest of the phenomenon under study
Primary water source How intense is the illness provoked by the consumption of contaminated water? (ocurrance of intestinal problems caused by bacteria, amoebas or virus)
The existence (or not) of nodes of infection (extention and/or focalization of the problem);
The probable generators of the contamination (cause(es) of the problem and sites for action)
The general ideas of the residents about the water problem
Water Transport, Pochote
Participant researchers learn to prepare the
test tubes – prescriptive teaching
Fundamental Problem: water qualityschematic of the second cycle of teaching-learning

We reconstructed for the first time in explicit terms the steps and the logic of Participatory Action Research, using a back-chaining teaching strategy.
