Abstract: This paper's purpose is to contribute to the methodological discussions about ways of bridging research/practice gaps. Building upon available methodological frameworks, it offers practical clues for guiding the elaboration of conceptual knowledge for and from practice. It also contributes to advancing the methodological reflection in a developing epistemological paradigm, the pragmatic constructivist epistemological paradigm. The guidelines are illustrated on numerous examples drawn from a recently-completed research project pursued using this methodological and epistemological framework. A reflective critique of this research project sets forth the value of collaboration between researchers and practitioners throughout the entire research process. The paper also points out significant differences between certain critical realist and pragmatic constructivist views of engaged scholarship.
