Why is it important?
Many practitioners have a lot to contribute to theory and research. However, their experience and findings are often missing in academic conversations. The AccE method starts to build a stronger bridge between research and practice, which is essential for the continuing growth of applied fields.
Perspectives
Having utilized this method for my own work in education, I have found that the AccE method is useful for two purposes: 1) Examining current work practices reflectively to find insights on how to be more responsive and effective, and 2) Contribute compelling findings to scholarly issues concerning learning, identity, curriculum, and pedagogy.
