<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB" lang="EN-GB"><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3">There is a growing recognition that research in professional practices needs approaches that well reflect the character of such practices. It is necessary to adapt
ontology, epistemology and methodology. How should we conduct inquiries in workpractices? What kind of knowledge is expected? What are the driving knowledge interests? How is practical relevance ensured? What kinds of interventions are adequate in work practices?
How should we arrange cooperation between researchers and practitioners? There are several pending issues. The interest for an adapted research approach on workpractices is growing. This can be seen in several disciplines. Such a research orientation can be
labelled <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">practice research</i>. Practice research can comprise different research approaches such as action research, interactive research, design research, evaluation research, pragmatic inquiry and collaborative inquiry
among others. <o:p></o:p></font></font></span></p>
