practitioner-oriented research

Practitioner-oriented research focuses on studying real-world problems faced by professionals, such as teachers, healthcare workers, or social workers, to improve their practices. Instead of just generating general theories, it aims to produce practical insights and solutions directly applicable to their work environment. This type of research often involves collaboration with practitioners, ensuring that findings are relevant, feasible, and easily implemented. Its goal is to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical application, helping practitioners enhance their effectiveness and positively impact their clients or communities.
