Partnering to Learn: A Collaborative Approach to Research Translation for Educators and Researchers
Mind, Brain, and Education, v16 n2 p79-88 May 2022
The science of learning (SoL) has powerful contributions to make to both the production of knowledge about learning and to the ways in which this knowledge can be successfully mobilized into educational practice. However, as a multidisciplinary field, it also faces some challenges if it is to bridge the research-practice gap. Using Levin's (2013) conceptualization of knowledge mobilization, this paper will describe the challenges and promising approaches to effective research translation and frame existing approaches across three interacting domains of: (1) knowledge production; (2) knowledge use; and (3) knowledge mediation. It will then present a novel partnership approach developed by the Science of Learning Research Center at The University of Queensland, Australia--the Partner Schools Program (PSP). Drawing upon existing promising practices, the PSP brings together educators, researchers, and research brokers in partnership to transform research into contextually relevant applications.
