In this episode of Research Box, Dr Russell Thackeray and Professor Annette Fillery Travis, discuss the ongoing tension between practitioner-based and academic research. The conversation explores the perceived value and rigour of practitioner research, the importance of practice theory, and how both types of research contribute to the body of knowledge within various fields.
They also debate whether the professional bodies' preference for academic research undermines the practical expertise developed through experience. The hosts urge professional bodies and universities to recognise the unique contributions and rigour of practitioner research and advocate for a balanced approach that values both practitioner insight and academic rigour.
