Many universities now offer practitioner-focused graduate degrees. In education, the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) has spearheaded redesign of the Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) degree as a practitioner degree. Ed.D. students are scholarly practitioners in this model, blending professional skills and knowledge with practical wisdom to identify, analyze, and solve problems of practice. Would physical education benefit from preparing scholarly practitioners at the doctoral level to facilitate transformative change in the field? (CEU)
