Resumé

This article begins with a brief history of the emergence of Practice as Research (PaR) noting diferent terminology in diferent contexts and marking misapprehensions and misunderstanding arising from a range of standpoints amongst the individuals and institutions involved. It proceeds to lay out adjustments required in making the shift from “practitioner” to “practitioner-researcher” in the context of contemporary HEIs. Sketching some key changes over the past century which have led to a strong advocacy of embodied cognition in recent years, the article sets out a multi-mode approach in an epistemological model for PaR. he model embraces varying modes of knowing: know what; know how; know that. It is the convergence of evidence adduced by diferent modes of research which contributes to the rigour of the overall approach.
