Moving Research into Practice: Can We Make Dissemination Stick?

Abstract

I n his 1993 Academy of Management Presidential address, Hambrick (1994) opined that academics seem to have a minimalist ethos: . . . minimal innovation, minimal visibility, minimal impact. Each August, we come to talk to each other [at the Academy of Management's annual meeting]; during the rest of the year we read each others' papers in our journals and write our own papers so that we may, in turn, have an audience the following August: an incestuous, closed loop. Colleagues, if we believe highly in what we do, if we believe in the significance of advanced thinking and research on management, then it is time we showed it. . . . It is time for us to break out of our closed loop. It is time for us to matter. (p. 13)

Percepções dos educadores sobre a inclusão na educação pré-escolar: o papel da experiência e das habilitações

“…Os desafios atuais implicam uma aliança entre diferentes atores, das autoridades educativas, às universidades e escolas, no sentido de aprofundar esta cultura inclusiva. Parece necessária a criação de oportunidades de formação específica neste domínio, aprofundando a relação entre os desenvolvimentos teóricos e da investigação, com as práticas dos educadores no seu trabalho quotidiano (DUCHNOWSKI et al, 2006;COOK;COOK;LANDRUM, 2013). Importa, portanto, promover nos programas de formação um maior contacto com a literatura de referência, permitindo compreender melhor a investigação, explorar a sua importância e ajudar a perceber como aplicar os …”

The effects of real-time visual performance feedback on teacher feedback.

“…the research-to-practice gap, such as calling for better dissemination of research results to better effect changes in the classroom (e.g., Cook, Cook, & Landrum, 2013;Ducharme & Shecter, 2011;Grima-Farrell et al, 2011). They have suggested examining other fields that effectively use new developments in knowledge to transform practice, such as marketing theory (Cook et al, 2013), medicine, design, and consumer electronics engineering (Burkhardt & Schoenfeld, 2003).…”

Others have suggested that researchers and practitioners should collaborate more closely to design and implement professional development to better meet the needs of teachers (Gore & Gitlin, 2004;Korthagen, 2007).…”

“…Disseminating research results in ways that effect change in the classroom is an important issue under study, particularly in the fields of special education and behavior disorders (e.g., Cook et al, 2013;Ducharme & Shecter, 2011;Grima-Farrell et al, 2011).…”
