Abstract
This article seeks to define professional practice research by juxtaposing an overview of a selection of our own experiences with a commentary on some of the ideas in the literature in such areas as action research, practitioner research and teacher research, all of which focus significantly on what it means to engage in research efforts in creating and extending professional knowledge, in illuminating and improving practice and in influencing policies in an informed way. In these terms, research will support and sustain an inquiry-based approach to professional work and practice in a range of social endeavours. The article concludes with a set of ideas for advocating the worthwhile nature of professional practice research.
