Best of practices?

Warren Feek

Development in Practice, 2007, vol. 17, issue 4-5, 653-655

Abstract: In this brief critique of the idea of ‘best practice’, the author argues that good practice is not replicable or uniform; it cannot be reduced to its component parts for replication elsewhere. Furthermore, the criteria for what constitutes ‘best practice’ are at best unscientific and tend to discourage diversity and local experimentation.
