Practice question · True or false
Practice-based and practice-led research are two names for the same activity.
Hints
- Ask what is being offered as the contribution in each case.
- One offers an artefact and the other offers an understanding.
Show the answer
False
Why
False. In practice-based research the creative artefact itself is the basis of the contribution; in practice-led research the outcome is primarily new understanding about practice. A studio project is usually the first, and writing it up as though it were the second is what makes so many dossiers read as apologies.
