Practitioner-led research: experiences with Learning Platforms

Rinus Van Klinken and Gerard Prinsen

Development in Practice, 2007, vol. 17, issue 3, 419-425

Abstract: This article describes Learning Platforms, a structured effort by the Dutch-based agency SNV to encourage its expert advisers to engage in reading and analysing academic research related to the context in which they work, and to undertake research of their own. Although the practitioners' ability to apply their research to their daily practice, and the organisation's ability to absorb the findings of the research as part of its ways of working, have been partial or limited, the approach has the potential to bring academic and practice-based endeavour together in ways that are mutually beneficial.
