The theory-practice gap is failure to apply or relate concepts, ideas, theories with professional conditions. The aim of this studywas to reveal the solution suggestions for closing the theory-practice gap in the educational administration field. The participantsincluded 380 school administrators, 50 provincial and district administrators of education, 57 educational administrationresearchers from Ankara.

The most commonsolution suggestion offered by school administrators were "facilitating the communication process between researchers andprincipals, increasing opportunities for social interaction between researchers and principals, and encouraging researchers toconduct more applied research."

The most common suggestions identifiedby provincial and district administrators were "facilitating the communication between researchers and provincial and districtadministrators, disseminating research results via the web, and encouraging researchers to conduct applied research". In the openended question, they most frequently mentioned the suggestion of "differentiating the criteria for the appointment as an educationaladministrator."

In the open-ended question, the most frequently emphasized solution was increasing researcher-practitionerinteraction, and issues such as "facilitating the data collection of researchers, increasing the benefits of graduate education", whichwere not included in the questionnaire, were also mentioned. The findings of the study revealed that the participants from differentprofessions had shared similar solution suggestions.
