Abstract

While research evidence has the potential to improve classroom practice, research–practice gaps continue to persist not least owing to the limited relevance of research findings for practice. A common approach in healthcare to address the research–practice gap is to form research priority setting partnerships (PSPs) in which stakeholders identify questions they would like research to answer. This paper presents the results from such a PSP in education with a focus on cognitive science research, which has received increased attention in the past few years owing to its potential to explain memory and learning processes and inform classroom practice. Over 400 questions from teachers were collected using an online survey. The final 15 research priorities highlight the need for research on a wider range of subjects, settings and phases as well as research designs that take the complexity of classrooms into consideration and aim to answer how different teaching strategies interact with each other as well as student motivation and agency at the micro- and macro-level. The role of teacher expertise vs. fidelity to original research designs should also be investigated further. Overall, this paper highlights the importance of taking teacher voice into account to ensure that new research in the field is both academically rigorous and practically relevant.

确定应用认知科学的研究重点--教师想从研究中得到什么?
虽然研究证据具有改善课堂实践的潜力,但研究与实践之间的差距依然存在,这主要是因为研究成果与实践的相关性有限。在医疗保健领域,解决研究与实践差距的一种常见方法是建立研究重点确定伙伴关系(PSPs),由利益相关者确定他们希望研究回答的问题。由于认知科学研究具有解释记忆和学习过程并为课堂实践提供信息的潜力,因此在过去几年中受到了越来越多的关注。通过在线调查收集了教师提出的 400 多个问题。最后确定的 15 个研究重点强调,需要对更广泛的学科、环境和阶段进行研究,研究设计要考虑到课堂的复杂性,旨在回答不同教学策略之间如何相互作用,以及学生在微观和宏观层面的动机和能动性。此外,还应进一步研究教师专业知识与忠实于原始研究设计之间的关系。总之,本文强调了考虑教师意见的重要性,以确保该领域的新研究既具有严谨的学术性,又具有实用性。

期刊介绍: The British Educational Research Journal is an international peer reviewed medium for the publication of articles of interest to researchers in education and has rapidly become a major focal point for the publication of educational research from throughout the world. For further information on the association please visit the British Educational Research Association web site. The journal is interdisciplinary in approach, and includes reports of case studies, experiments and surveys, discussions of conceptual and methodological issues and of underlying assumptions in educational research, accounts of research in progress, and book reviews.
