Topic: Exploring the roles and involvement of knowledge users in education research: A scoping review
Bernadine Sengalrayan is a Master’s student at the Department of Integrated Studies in Education at McGill University. Her research focuses on knowledge mobilisation (bridging of research to practice and policy) in education. In particular, the relationship between knowledge producers and knowledge users, and whether those that do research and produce knowledge adequately work with or seek the insights of those who utilise that knowledge to inform classroom practice and policy decisions.
The benefit of getting the inputs of the knowledge users allows for research to be more publicly credible and applicable, and findings to be more readily translated into practice. Through a scoping review, Bernadine takes an exploratory look at the engagement of knowledge users of K-12 teaching and education policy research in Canada. It is hoped that the results from the scoping review will aid in uncovering the types of strong-reiterative-research-producer-user-connections best practices that can be adapted to future research.
