Introduction
Recent years have witnessed a seismic shift in our understanding of the nature of the
legitimacy of professional knowledge. Where once tradition stood central, there is now a clear
emphasis on the need for responsible professional practice to be research-based. Within this
latter, the emphasis is usually on the notion of evidence-based practice.
The focus of this course involves assessing the meaning and implication of this shift of
emphasis while at the same time, exploring what the nature of knowledge in praxis is, how it
is constituted and how it can be developed.
It is somewhat paradoxical that while evidence-based practice makes the explicit demand
upon practitioners that they be well-informed about research relevant to their field, it
implicitly assumes that they are in a position to discern what this might be and how it is
relevant for them. So, while the demand that practice be evidence-based is prima facie
reasonable, it must always be understood as a demand that is contingent upon the
practitioner’s capacity to judge, assess and implement. In other words, evidence-based
practice begs the idea of responsible and thoughtful agents for whom this evidence can be
meaningful.
As such, the notion of the evidence-based needs to be placed within a wider experiential
context which does not exclude it but incorporates it. Here we turn to the course’s second
main pole; namely an assessment of the sources of practical knowledge and how they can be
articulated and developed.
This can best be done by exploring the lived practical experience of the practitioner, not in
isolation from other elements (users, policy makers etc.) but rather as the site in which the
1
various sources of meaning that constitute the praxis come to expression. The perspective of
the individual practitioner, upon analysis, turns out to be one constituted by their embodied
situation and within cultural, political, social and historical horizons. It will be an objective of
the course, to explore this question inasmuch as it provides insight into the nature of
professional knowledge as well as providing insights into how this knowledge can become
more adaptive to meet the changing needs of professional fields of activity.
Learning outcome:
The following learning outcomes are anticipated upon completion of the course:
Knowledge
Students should have gained advanced knowledge about:
 different paradigms concerning the nature of praxis and practical knowledge
 ways of analyzing and critically reflecting upon experience-based knowledge
 the constitution of practical knowledge on micro-, macro- and mega levels.
Skills
Students should have gained advanced skills in terms of:
 ability to critically reflect upon their own and other’s practice
 ability to describe and analyze the anatomy of professional practice
 understanding of relevant research strategies
General competence
Students should have gained advanced competence:
 in utilizing relevant knowledge and skills in praxis research
 in applying relevant theoretical models and research findings to debates in
professional knowledge development
 in contributing to the exploration of innovation processes related to collaboration
Content:
This course addresses the question of practical knowledge as it applies to the professions both
in terms of competing models of what knowledge is and in terms of strategies for exploring
the constitution and development of practical professional knowledge.
The course will focus on the phenomena of practical professional knowledge in terms of the
following sub-themes
a) Evidence-based and other knowledge models
b) Research and experience-based approaches
c) The context(s) of knowledge constitution (embodied and embedded perspectives on
knowledge)
d) Strategies for researching practical knowledge
Assessment
The categories “pass” or “fail” are used in the final evaluation
Students’ evaluations
The students will complete a written evaluation at the end of the course.
Models of work
Open lectures/key note presentations, teaching and learning style is interactive and active
participation of PhD students
