Abstract

This paper reports an empirical study that investigated a new instantiation of the practice-theory debates – ‘close-to-practice’ (CtP) research in education. The research, a) sought to define and further articulate the concept of close-to-practice research, and b) provide reflections on the quality of close-to-practice research.
