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.〔Kara H (2012) Research and evaluation for busy practitioners: a time-saving guide, p.1. Bristol: The Policy Press.〕 To begin with, practitioner research developed in disciplinary silos,〔Molde S and Diers D (1985) Nurse practitioner research: selected literature review and research agenda. In Nursing Research 34(6) pp 362-367〕〔Bell G and Colbeck B (1984) Whole school practitioner research: the Sunnyside Action Inquiry Project. In Educational Research 26(2) pp 88-94〕〔Pieper M (1985) The future of social work research. In Social Work Research Abstracts 21(4) pp 3-11〕 but by the turn of the century it had been recognised that all disciplines could approach practitioner research in broadly the same way.〔Wilkinson D (ed) (2000) The researcher's toolkit: the complete guide to practitioner research (Routledge Study Guides). Abingdon: Routledge.〕 For a practitioner, doing research alongside practice can assist with one or more of the following: * Solving a specific problem, such as how to reduce crime on a particular housing estate. * Contributing to the learning of a discipline such as education or social work. * Influencing government policy, e.g. welfare or health policy.〔Wilkinson D (ed) (2000) The researcher's toolkit: the complete guide to practitioner research (Routledge Study Guides), p.2. Abingdon: Routledge.〕 It is also held to improve the quality of the practitioner-researcher's practice.〔Fox M, Martin P and Green G (2007) Doing practitioner research, p. 88. London: Sage.〕 Practitioner research has two categories:〔Kara H (2012) Research and evaluation for busy practitioners: a time-saving guide, p. 1. Bristol: The Policy Press〕 * Research in the workplace, such as a service evaluation or needs assessment, and * Academic research related to the practitioner's role, such as a master's degree or PhD in a relevant subject. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「practitioner research」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
