Practitioner research in social services: a literature review

This report was commissioned by IRISS (Institute for Research and Innovation in Social Services) in 2008. Its aim was to establish a wider context for practitioner research and to explore its impact on practice. It identifies two distinct forms of literature. First, there is literature that conceptualises, theorises, researches or evaluates practitioner research. Secondly, there is literature that is practitioner research. The review considers both forms and draws together a series of questions that emerge.

A Practitioner research in social services: a literature review summary is also available.

You can listen to one of the authors Ian Shaw talking about the Practitioner research programme research on the IRISS podcast.
