“The Practitioner as Researcher: Creativity, reflection and new knowledge” presented by Candy
Presentation Title:
Presenter(s):
Abstract:
This keynote will explore how practitioners become researchers who create new knowledge through making artefacts. Creative reflective practice is central to the process and in practice-based research, it has become a core research method which can be used to record and interpret emerging knowledge. The talk draws upon my research into creative practice and experience in working with practice-based researchers across different disciplines. Three areas will be discussed:
– reflective practice and its variants as a method in practitioner research
– the artefact in practitioner knowledge development
– practice and research in the world and in academic contexts
The keynote draws on cases studies of practitioner researchers undertaking post doc projects and show how reflection has been important in artefact and problem led research practices.
