Abstract

This paper aims to contribute to developing the methodological apparatus for S-as-P research. It presents and illustrates a methodological framework offering guidelines for conceiving research projects aimed to capture practitioners experience on research questions based on practical concerns. Research in this framework relies on deep interactions between researchers and practitioners. If highly interactive research methods cannot be legitimated in positivism because they impede researchers' objectivity and neutrality, they can be legitimated in constructivism. But then generalization is a crucial issue. This paper offers a way to define generalization in constructivist epistemological paradigms. Ways to enact this methodological framework are illustrated with examples drawn from an ongoing research project carried out in the S-as-P perspective. The discussion highlights the differing roles of practitioners and researchers in research conducted in this framework and its capability to be enacted as a mutually enriching process for research and practice.
