There is a growing interest in the notion of the scholarship of practice and with it that of the scholar-practitioner. Scholar-practitioners are not merely practitioners who do research but rather that they integrate scholarship in their practice and generate actionable knowledge, that is, knowledge that is robust for scholars and actionable for practitioners. In this mode they engage as reflective practitioners, manager-researchers, practitioner-researchers, i.e. who engage in a science of action and who produce useful research. Scholar-practitioners, while not always referred to as such, have existed in medicine for a long time and may be found in fields, such as educational administration, law and other professions. One may also catch it in acting and in actor-director context where eminent practitioners demonstrate their skills and the underlying theory-in use in master classes.
