Ashley Metzger; Addison Duane; Amia Nash; Valerie Shapiro – International Journal of Education Policy and Leadership, 2024
Background: Knowledge brokering by intermediary organizations includes knowledge distillation processes (e.g., synthesis, translation). Aims and objectives: This article explores how an educational intermediary performs research distillation when creating virtual knowledge reservoirs for educators. Methods: The authors use qualitative data from…

Ross, Catharine; Nichol, Lynn; Elliott, Carole; Sambrook, Sally; Stewart, Jim – Studies in Higher Education, 2021
Interdisciplinary working plays an important role in achieving impact outside academia. One barrier to interdisciplinary working is the lack of mechanisms to assess contributions from outside the primary discipline. Positioning our research in debates about knowledge translation, we analyse the ability of narrative cases to assess the…

Larkin, Mary; Milne, Alisoun – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2020
Background: Although there is now an extensive international body of research and evidence about care and carers it is fragmented and disparate. Without synthesis, organisation and accessibility it cannot effectively inform and improve policy and practice with carers. Key points for discussion: This paper makes the case for an accessible…

Wollscheid, Sabine; Stensaker, Bjørn; Bugge, Markus M. – European Education, 2019
Evidence-informed policy and practice has been a trend as part of an effort to increase the use of research to improve education at all levels. In many countries, knowledge-brokering initiatives were established to stimulate links between research, policy, and practice. Drawing on a mapping of initiatives in seven countries, this article describes…

Seftor, Neil; Monahan, Shannon; McCutcheon, AnnaMaria – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2016
The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) is a central and trusted source of information of scientific evidence for what works in education. Towards that end, the WWC summarizes research on a range of practices, programs, and policies (interventions) and disseminates that research in a variety of forms on the free public website. In recent years, the WWC…

Fraser, Kym; Tseng, Tzu-Liang Bill; Deng, Xin – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2018
This study explores the usefulness of academic research to engineering practitioners. Issues such as knowledge transfer, the research-practice gap and the changing social/political environment are discussed. An empirical survey of practitioners is analysed to better understand the engineering professions use of academic material, such as research…

Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University, 2014
For the past decade, a diverse group of distinguished scientists has worked to translate complex research about early brain development into language that is scientifically accurate, highly credible, understandable to nonscientists, and useful to public decision makers. Across the United States and around the world, in both public and private…

Jones, Sarah-Louise; Procter, Richard; Younie, Sarah – Journal of Education for Teaching: International Research and Pedagogy, 2015
Research alone does not inform practice, rather a process of knowledge translation is required to enable research findings to become meaningful for practitioners in their contextual settings. However, the translational process needs to be an iterative cycle so that the practice itself can be reflected upon and thereby inform the ongoing research…

Stanwick, John; Hargreaves, Jo – National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER), 2012
This guide describes the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) approach to measuring impact using examples from its own case studies, as well as showing how to maximise the impact of applied social science research. Applied social science research needs to demonstrate that it is relevant and useful both to public policy and…

Huberman, Michael – 1992
To talk about the dissemination of research is to talk about the relationship between theory and practice. A body of empirical and conceptual knowledge has accumulated in an area known as the dissemination and utilization of scientific knowledge. Researchers and practitioners will interact at two points: as the knowledge base is transferred, and…

Hiebert, Ray Eldon; Devine, Carolyn M. – Public Relations Review, 1985
Although research and evaluation are considered important to the successful execution of public information programs, this survey of top federal information officers reveals that almost no research or evaluation is conducted. Reasons for the discrepancies between theory and practice are discussed. (PD)
