Practice-informing

Practice-informing refers to the process or quality of contributing to or shaping real-world practice — such as clinical decision-making, educational strategies, policy development, or technical procedures — based on research, evidence, or reflective experience.

It emphasizes the translation of knowledge into action, making theoretical insights or empirical findings directly applicable in professional settings.
