Theory into Practice: The Case Studies Project" by J. Crawford covers the 1980 California model for "theoretically sound" bilingual education, which they called the "Case Studies Project." The main beliefs of the Case Studies Project were intended to make bilingual education in the classroom more successful, and included language proficiency for bilingual students, basic communication skills in their second language (English), and suggestions for bilingual teachers to achieve the student competencies the project was intended to attain. Unfortunately, the project initially seemed quite successful in the classroom, but the methods used also created controversy throughout the state. Most of the controversy centered on the teaching of foreign students in their native language. Therefore, they actually grew more competent in their own language while they were attempting to learn English. Studies showed the children actually learned more effectively in their own language before they began to adapt their skills to English. The author notes that there are many different learning styles in children, and that many children benefited from he Case Studies Project, but many critics felt it was simply wrong to develop the native language skills of students who were attempting to blend into English classrooms and American society.
This article discussed specific outcomes in test schools, and showed that the project was successful in many areas. Unfortunately, public pressure was stronger than the results, and finally the project was no longer funded by the State of California. This project does still exist in several California schools, but although the project seemed to be a successful and viable model, for the most part, it is no longer used. Clearly, teaching English skills to native speakers is difficult and demanding, and the necessity to develop viable projects that serve both the school system and the children is vital in today's educational system.

Theory Practice Professional socialization in Nursing The professional socialization in nursing is the process that helps a person to adopt to the systems and norms of a profession. The process helps the individual learn those things that support the job but are not the written part of the job (Lai & Lim, 2012). In nursing too, not everything is learnt about patient care through books. There are environmental and cultural factors that
Theory Gap Theory-practice gap Nursing in the contemporary society needs a lot of skills, knowledge and even proficient practice. Unfortunately, there is lack of implementation of what the text book says/research findings in the daily practice application of the nursing profession. Unfortunately this goes even to the ethical spheres where the nursing practice ethics are not observed and implemented in the nursing profession. Almost all nurses find themselves in this theory-practice gap
The theory is also highly generalizable, as it can be applied to truly any body of knowledge yet is especially suited for nursing knowledge, which occurs along common lines throughout the profession (Chinn & Kramer, 2008; Fawcett et al., 2001). At the same time, the theory is quite abstract, and implementation can be difficult without a great deal of self-awareness, self-confidence, and a thorough understanding of the non-concrete and

Nursing A gap between theory and practice is haunting nursing and presenting major problems for healthcare administrators, policy makers, practitioners, and patients alike. As Rolfe (1993) puts it, "the theory-practice gap continues to defy resolution," in spite of the efforts of theorists, educators, and practitioners. A gap between theory and practice can impede practice because of a disconnect between theory and practice. Yet theory cannot be discarded; practice does not exist
