This is done in form of a case study were a group of principals enters a partnership with a researcher in their quest to apply a scientific approach in their own and, in their teachers’ professions. This study provide a pertinent example of how a this demand can emerge in practice. The theory of practice architectures (Kemmis & Grootenboer, 2008) is used as an analytical framing. The research questions are as follows: 1) How do the principals understand and realise the demand of an enhanced scientific foundation in their schools? 2) What happens when a group of principals and a researcher enters a partnership? 3) What practice architecture affect the partnership between the principals and the researcher? 4) What practice architecture affect the principals leadership actions in their schools?Keywords : Practice arhitectures, principal, demand, educational reserach, action reserach
