Competency Six focuses on engaging in research-informed practice and practice-informed research. It has two practice behaviors: 1) using practice experience to inform scientific inquiry, such as leading agency project research and proposed group research based on personal practice experience, and 2) using research evidence to inform practice, like informing parents about research on attendance and risks of truancy, and considering systems theory by not assuming one intervention can solve a problem.

What is Competency Six? Engage in research-informed practice and practice-informed research.
Practice Behaviors
6.1: Use practice experience to inform
scientific inquiry. Research for my agency project will be led by my practice experience. Research for proposed groups (i.e. attendance group) will also be led by my own practice experience as well as experiences my supervisor has shared with me.
Practice Behaviors
6.2: Use research evidence to inform
practice. Using research about attendance to inform parents of consistently absent children about the proven risks/side effects of truancy. Not assuming that one intervention can fix a problem (systems theory). You have to look at the bigger picture.
