The purpose and impact of the professional doctorate – or EdD
(Doctor of Education) – has long been debated. What should it be?
Who should do it? Why is it worth doing? How should it be taught? What
makes the EdD distinctive, unique and worthwhile? Internationally,
at the level of program development and provision, universities are
increasing the range of transformative professional doctorate
practices while recruiting larger numbers of students from a wider
range of professions. Transformative Doctoral Research Practices for
Professionals offers unique insight into the teaching, learning,
thinking and doing of doctoral education. In the form of a
collaboratively authored volume this book offers the first
institutional-specific collection that focuses on doctoral research
practices. It showcases: the practices of researching professionals
atdifferent phases and stages of a five year doctoral journey; the
imperative of reflexivity as one moves from practitioner to
researching professional and scholar; and the placing of
‘practice’ at the centre of a doctoral program specifically
designed for professionals. This book shares the lived-through
debates, deliberations, challenges and experiences of a group of
professional (practitioner) doctoral students, their supervisors and
lecturers. The critical perspectives and examples explored offer a
wealth of insights on the distinct practices and unique journeying of
professional practitioners embarking on professional doctorates. This
volume invites you to reflect on and enter into dialogue with your
peers and professional learning and research communities about the
distinctiveness of the professional doctorate.
