Comment:

Frequently, the practices of the discipline are embedded into instruction and thus, knowledge of practice is necessary. These practices can include the approach to and structuring of knowledge in the discipline (content epistemology), habits of thought (logic and critical thinking in the discipline), process routines (derived from both theoretical positions and requirements in the field), clinical applications (particularly, but not exclusively in health care or human services situations), or the professional integration of the disciplines into other fields (for example, the application of management principles to a study of the effectiveness of group process in another discipline).
