Schorlars and Practitioners

Class #6

For this class, we read and discussed articles that deal with the differences between scholars and practitioners. I believe that there is not that much difference between HRD and other disciplines/practices when it comes to the theory and the practice. In most cases, there are only a few individuals that can do both, practice and theorize about it, or vice versa. I think that publishing ideas and theories can be done not only using scholarly journals, but also conferences, trade magazines, and newspapers. Another way to publish is by sharing these ideas using social media.

There was a great discussion in class, but I was very, very tired.
