Knowledge brokers in education: How intermediary organizations are bridging the gap between research, policy and practice internationally
Amanda Cooper, Samantha Shewchuk
Interest in how to better connect research to policy and practice is gaining momentum globally. Also gaining widespread agreement is the view that intermediary organizations have an important role to play in facilitating multi-stakeholder partnerships between researchers, practitioners and policymakers in order to increase the mobilization of research and its impact in public service sectors….
Looking outside education: Expanding our thinking about moving research into practice
Jack Schneider
This essay explores the usefulness of looking outside of education for inspiration, particularly with regard to seemingly intractable issues that have been resigned to the margins. First, it proposes that, rather than comparing education to medicine and law—the traditional comparison fields for education—we turn instead to the “helping fields” of nursing and social work, which seem to offer…
The World Indigenous Research Alliance (WIRA): Mediating and mobilizing Indigenous Peoples’ educational knowledge and aspirations
Paul Whitinui, Onowa McIvor, Boni Robertson, Lindsay Morcom, Kimo Cashman, Veronica Arbon
There is an Indigenous resurgence in education occurring globally. For more than a century Euro-western approaches have controlled the provision and quality of education to, and for Indigenous peoples. The World Indigenous Research Alliance (WIRA) established in 2012, is a grass-roots movement of Indigenous scholars passionate about making a difference for Indigenous peoples and their…
Mapping the collaborative research process
Julie Reed Kochanek, Carrie Scholz, Alicia J Garcia
Despite significant federal investments in the production of high-quality education research, the direct use of that research in policy and practice is not evident. Some education researchers are increasingly employing collaborative research models that use structures and processes to integrate practitioners into the research process in an effort to produce more relevant and useful work. This…
Brokering knowledge mobilization networks: Policy reforms, partnerships, and teacher education
Nicholas Ng-A-Fook, Ruth Kane, Jesse Butler, Lisa Glithero, Rita Forte
Educational researchers and policy-makers are now expected by funding agencies and their institutions to innovate the multidirectional ways in which our production of knowledge can impact the classrooms of teachers (practitioners), while also integrating their experiential knowledge into the landscape of our research. In this article, we draw on the curriculum implementation literature to…
Connecting the dots: Understanding the flow of research knowledge within a research brokering network
Joelle Rodway
Networks are frequently cited as an important knowledge mobilization strategy; however, there is little empirical research that considers how they connect research and practice. Taking a social network perspective, I explore how central office personnel find, understand and share research knowledge within a research brokering network. This mixed methods case study focused on the first two…
Evidence use and advocacy coalitions: Intermediary organizations and philanthropies in Denver, Colorado
Janelle Scott, Huriya Jabbar, Priya Goel, Elizabeth DeBray, Christopher Lubienski
The increasing involvement of philanthropists in education policy has contributed to the emergence of a dynamic sector of intermediary organizations (IOs), entities that serve a number of functions in school reform, including advocacy, consultation, policy design, alternative teacher and leadership preparation, and research. In recent years, many IOs have converged into coalitions that are…
Public policies for education completion: The case of Argentina’s Fines Plan
Valentina Viego
In 2008 the Federal Council of Education ordered the creation of Completion of Primary and Secondary Education for Youth and Adults Plan (locally known as Fines). The purpose of the program is to offer young people and adults a plan aimed to basic education completion. The paper analyzes the design and implementation of the plan considering educational aspects, working conditions of teachers…
