“…Practitioners who are research-minded use a critical approach to reflect on knowledge and research in their field and use research to inform practice, as well as to create practical applications for research and theory generated from research (Shaw & Norton, 2008.). Research-minded supervision, then, is a practice-based supervisory relationship where the student and the supervisor engage in a critical approach to relationships, dynamics, and interactions within the setting in which the student works.…”

Art therapy master's programs are required to include research coursework in their curriculum; however, they differ in content and types of required projects. Students encouraged to conduct studies that increase the evidence base of art therapy may struggle to do so. This article describes a research collaboration that allowed a master's level student to develop research competency while simultaneously developing her professional identity and clinical skills. A master's level action research study was nested within a doctoral student's largerscale participatory action research project, which provided a developmentally effective model for achieving mutual goals. As a result, the master's student grew more self-confident in both art therapy and research practice.

“…When it comes to research quality, it is 'outer science' (Shaw and Norton, 2007) that is privileged and seen as decisive for the public or social accountability of academic researchers (Delanty, 2001;Jacobson et al, 2004). At the utilisation end, KPU discourse is concerned with the uptake, adoption, implementation, and use of research knowledge, as change outcomes in the practice and policy worlds.…”

In contemporary knowledge societies, scientific research has been emphasised as a key component of effective and accountable service provision. This paper examines commonalities and distinctions between two discourses of research utilisation, 'evidence-based practice'(EBP) and 'knowledge production/utilisation' (KPU) -the former more prominent in informing the social work canon, the latter with some potential to do so. Specifically, it considers how and where these discourses are now coming together, through a focus on 'knowledge mobilisation', 'implementation', and 'innovation', and a shared emphasis on the role of organisations in bridging the gap between research and action. It hopes to contribute to the movement towards greater research use in social work and enhance understanding of the mechanisms by which research is connected to action.

“…and research-informed practice, and consisting of a multitude of models of research explicitly conducted in, with, and/or for practice. (Furlong & Oancea, 2005, p. 9) Although this definition was formulated in respect of educational research, it has features that may be attractive to social work, as Shaw and Norton (2008) acknowledge. It is derived in part from an earlier formulation, Pasteur's Quadrant, which is based on the principle that types of research can be distinguished according to whether or not they incorporate 'considerations of use' , on one hand, and whether they aspire to achieve 'fundamental understanding' or not, on the other (Furlong & Oancea, 2005, p. 7).…”
