| Sumario: | This article is a review of the fundamental principles of Participatory Action Research (PAR) within the framework of the socio-critical paradigm. It addresses the conceptual foundation of this methodology, scope and the usual procedures from the perspective of its most significant theoretical representatives. Investigating from the socio-critical paradigm intrinsically implies a political, social commitment, for justice, equality and peace. From the history of the PAR, this method involves the promotion of social or educational transformations, so it is a process that not only seeks and generates knowledge, but also hopes to arouse changes cultivated by and with the actors involved. Its principles exalt the inductive, dialogical and ideographic nature of knowledge; in addition, an inseparable relationship between theory and practice. The procedures proposed by different authors, always involve the recursive phases of action-reflection-action, an open loop in permanent movement. In the end we will see that this type of research represents an opportunity for the transformation of the chair of peace, which will allow to visualize the possible applications of the method in the university context.
