Resumen
ROBINSON, Maureen. Research for policy and practice in teacher education: The case of the Professional Practice Schools research project. Journal of Education [online]. 2021, n.82, pp.100-112. ISSN 2520-9868. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2520-9868/i82a06.
This article starts from an acknowledgement of the complexity of connecting research, policy, and practice in teacher education. Using the framework of a practice architecture, I use a case study approach to explore how researchers, policy-makers, and teacher educators experienced a research project aimed at exploring the conditions for the establishment of Professional Practice Schools in South Africa. My discussion highlights the importance of seeing policy work as action-oriented inquiry, where the experiences of those directly involved in a policy are taken into central consideration. I outline enabling and constraining factors in supporting positive interconnections in this case study. I end the article by offering a hopeful view of conditions of possibility for further engagement between different sectors in the research-policy-practice nexus.
