Підсумок	Participatory Document Analysis is a qualitative research approach that systematically examines existing documents — such as policy records, reports, correspondence, and community archives — while actively involving community members or stakeholders as co-researchers in the selection, interpretation, and meaning-making processes. It merges the rigor of established document analysis techniques with the democratic ethos of participatory action research, ensuring that those most affected by the documents have voice in shaping what those documents mean.	Critical document analysis is a qualitative method that systematically examines written, visual, or digital documents — such as policy texts, institutional reports, curriculum materials, and official records — through a critical theoretical lens. Rather than treating documents as neutral containers of information, it interrogates how documents produce, reflect, and reproduce power relations, ideologies, and social inequalities. The approach draws on critical theory traditions, including the work of Paulo Freire and Jurgen Habermas, as well as established frameworks for document analysis developed by Bowen and Prior.
