Practice research refers to research that is applied or used in real world settings, as opposed to purely theoretical research. There are three types of practice research: 1) Research into practice examines existing practices. 2) Research for practice aims to solve practical problems. 3) Research through practice generates new knowledge through projects or case studies. The seminar discussed these different approaches to relating research and professional practice using examples from various fields.
