Using Practitioner Inquiry Research Methods to Study College Students' Experiences with Clinically Based Research. Sage Research Methods Cases Part 1
Aimee H. Barber
Sage Research Methods Cases
Practitioner inquiry (PI) is a practitioner-based research method used to systematically and intentionally study and improve one's own professional practice. This research methods case study describes one teacher educator's experience using PI as a reflective research method to study her own facilitation of an action research project with a small group of teacher candidates completing their final semester of field-based, undergraduate coursework. The researcher reflects on the experience of using PI as a research method while also facilitating the research process with students to provide insight and considerations for the use of PI in field-based higher education and/or professional learning experiences. The researcher shares findings based on three categories: (1) engaging in PI as higher education faculty can result in job-specific, student-centered professional learning; (2) using PI as a field-based research process for post-secondary students can result in feelings of pride and agency for their future professional field; and (3) field-embedded PI in teacher education can model and support teacher candidate's understanding of connections between theory and practice.
