What is Scholar-Practitioner

Chapter 4
Practice-Based and Practice-Led Research for Dissertation Development
The concept of scholar-practitioner exists along a continuum where, toward each end of the continuum, scholars and practitioners function in largely segmented roles and settings whereby the boundaries between scholars and practitioners remain relatively impermeable. One is primarily a scholar or primarily a practitioner. The scholar-practitioner exists along the midline of the continuum where the two roles are largely integrated and the boundaries between scholar and practitioner are permeable. In a practitioner doctoral program, this permeation is made possible and often expected in the scholar-practitioner evolutionary nature for doctoral researcher development.

Abstract
The journey through a practitioner doctorate program to earn the terminal degree has been likened to a labyrinth with its complex maze or a mountain climb with its inherent obstacles and challenges the doctoral scholar must surpass to be successful. Reflexive positionality is a concomitant process which can be used throughout the practitioner doctorate to facilitate the iterative and recursive journey of the scholar-practitioner. Reflexivity facilitates an introspective process to elevate professional practitioners to scholar-practitioners and incorporate a reflexive view to transcend doctoral hurdles, attain the terminal degree, and return to practice to solve societal problems and problems within the discipline. Practitioner doctorate leadership may also be well served to incorporate reflexivity in the pedagogical redesign of the practitioner doctorate to strengthen the development and preparation of these scholar-practitioners.
