Emergence, painting by Cathryn Lloyd<\/p><\/div>\n

Professional practice literature acknowledges the value for practitioners inquiring into and critically reflecting on their professional practice. This is often referred to as practitioner research, but in action inquiry circles is known as first-person action research. Inquiry into and describing one\u2019s practice has its challenges. How can a professional creatively interrogate their practice to generate new knowledge and theory that creates value for the inquiring practitioner and for others?<\/span><\/p>\n

This paper explores practice-led inquiry and Provenance.\u00a0 Practice-led inquiry is distinguished from other forms of practitioner research by its starting point within the inquirer\u2019s own practice. Provenance, a term associated with fine arts, is a strategy\/process within practice-led inquiry that enables practitioners to recognise knowledge about practice arising from their own experiences and the ability to utilise that in their theory building. Provenance helps the inquirer\/researcher identify and scaffold the origins of their practice through nominating critical incidents and literature that have informed development of their practice and in turn builds meaning about how a given professional practice can be understood and undertaken.<\/span><\/p>\n

Provenance resonates with action inquiry, both in iterative cycles of action and reflection and in the use of \u2018first person action inquiry\u2019. Through Provenance, professionals identify turning points in their professional development. The narrative that evolves from consideration of critical events, and literature that have informed development of professional practice, can be revisited to generate new insights about the practice and affirm the practitioner\/inquirer\u2019s understanding and knowledge of their practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

This paper explores Hill and Lloyd\u2019s development of the concept of Provenance from the origins in their own doctoral inquiries to formalising the process in post-doctoral publications and beyond that as they work with other inquirers and professionals to help them to investigate and bring new perspectives to their professional practices.<\/span><\/p>\n
