Since many years, various parties have expressed the desire to transfer knowledge and to implement innovations, which have already been developed in the school system and have been successfully used. But the realization seems to be very prone to failure. Hence this contribution tries to identify diff erent problem areas with regard to the diverse groups of actors in the school system, which impede the transfer and implementation of knowledge. Th us, it discusses both the lack of incentive structures, which might make this topic area more attractive for scientifi c studies, and the partial lack of fi tting between the scientifi c, the education political, the education administrative and the practical modes of action. Furthermore, it sheds a critical light on the funding problems of a kind of research on transfer, which wants above all to generate in-depth knowledge and not primarily high-publicity results. Th e contribution closes with a short classifi cation of the research desiderata und leads over to reports from projects, which have declared transfer to be subject of their research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
