Gyakorlattudomány

Gyakorlattudomány is a field of study that focuses on the scientific and systematic observation and experimentation of everyday activities, practices, and routines. This area of research concerns the practical, economic, and social aspects of how people live, work, and interact in their daily lives. Gyakorlattudomány seeks to understand the effectiveness, efficiency, and impacts of specific practices and activities in various contexts, ranging from domestic and household management to professional and organizational settings.

Origins of the term can be traced back to the Hungarian word "gyakorlat", which roughly translates to practice or experience. This term was further developed in the late 19th century by Hungarian economist and sociologist Ödön Bull Reset, who applied it to study the interactions between practice and economic/technical branches. Research in this area spans over the centuries, beginning with Aristote's Nicomachean Ethics, that aimed to uncover wisdom in human deeds.

Subfields within the broader category of gyakorlattudomány exist, particularly where researchers study the uses of technology, market influences on household choices, and historical developments that shaped the nature of practices and routines. The social constructivist theory that people, along with their cultural and economic contexts, actively create and shape practices is often taken into account while considering problems of this domain.

Research findings documented include varying levels of performance and different methods may influence efficiency in work scenarios, and the combination of practice and research lead public not to be heterogenic concerning educational programs, norms, daily needs production etc.
