We set out how we see the agenda arising from developing good practitioner research. We begin by identifying what we mean by practitioner research. We then review what we know about the nature and practice of practitioner research in the UK. We consider how practitioner research is related to the wider category of practice research. We then identify what the experience of doing practitioner research is like for those involved. The findings are heavily influenced by a recent review of practitioner research in the field of social work and social care with adults, and a separate study of social workers working with children and families. We conclude with some questions that may help steer how good practitioner research can be taken forward. The article is linked to a comment on the adequacy and implications of the paper as a basis for development work in China and Hong Kong.

我們由如何發展好的實踐者研究作為文章的起點，先界定了實踐者研究的意義。然後，我們回顧了我們所知的英國實踐者研究的性質與實踐，並探討實踐者研究如何與更廣泛的實踐研究有關。我們接著嘗試了解實踐者進行研究時有甚麼經歷。研究結果深受近期一份有關社會工作和成人社會照顧的實踐者研究以及另一份有關兒童和家庭工作的社會工作者研究所影響。最後我們總結出幾個問題，希望可以借此引導實踐者研究朝更好的方向發展。本文還邀請一位香港中文大學的學者根據中國和香港的相關工作，對本文章的適切性和影響提出評論。
