Practitioner research
Practitioner Research refers to research and/or workplace research such as evaluation performed by individuals who also work in a professional field as opposed to being full-time academic researchers. Practitioner research developed as a recognised type of research in the last quarter of the 20th century. In this context, 'practitioner' means someone who delivers public services, such as a nurse, teacher, advice worker, probation officer, counsellor or social worker. To begin with, practitioner research developed in disciplinary silos, but by the turn of the century it had been recognised that all disciplines could approach practitioner research in broadly the same way.
