Important Aspects of Theories
Explanatory system
Testable hypotheses to guide research
and, potentially, practice
Immediate implications for practice are a
plus, not a necessity

What are the Barriers to Theory-
Research-Practice Integration?

Some Solutions – None really
original
Theory-Research Linkages – theorists need
to provide:
Clear definitions of central concepts
Testable hypotheses
Research showing how the theory can
be tested
Accessible and (ideally) free measures

Some Solutions
Theory-Practice Linkages – facilitated by
Provision of case examples by theorists
Research creating and testing theory-
based interventions
Theorists working with creative practitioners

Some Solutions
Research-Practice Linkages – facilitated
by
Researchers avoiding pursuit of complexity
as an end in itself
Practitioners seeing “practice-far” research
as part of programmatic inquiry
Collaborations, dialogues, attendance at
same conferences
