Abstract:

Article introduces a special journal issue focusing on “scholarship of practice”, conceptualized as the close relationship and ongoing dynamic interplay between scholars, practitioners, and community members working together in a complex context. This approach proposes that community members and participants become the critical players and collaborators in the creation of new knowledge. The challenge to the profession of occupational therapy, is to create scholars of practice, who can generate new research and evidence about practice, as well as practice scholars, who can then change actual practice to meet changing needs and priorities of community members.
