WHAT ARE THE PROFESSIONAL PRACTICIES ?
Practice is a rich and complex notion whose nuances remain elusive for many practitioners, researchers, policy
makers and administrators. The theoretical density of practice is frequently
underestimated by researchers who too frequently view it from narrow and limited
perspectives. This chapter presents a framework that aims to illuminate the richness of
practice in particular cases as well as in research on practice.
