Abstract

The assumption that research is out-of-reach, irrelevant, or unusable for practitioners has been a theme echoed throughout academia. Research alliances such as Research-Practice Partnerships (RPP) attempt to alleviate this problem by having researchers, practitioners, and/or community-based organizations form a collaborative partnership that uses research to solve tangible problems of practice. Previous works have highlighted the complexities inherent with forming and maintaining these long-term partnerships including politics, trust building, time, and available resources. In this paper, we engage in reflective analysis of our own RPP around three key elements we believe are at the heart of RPPs: politicized trust, mutualism, and use of research. This paper illustrates successes and points of failure in each of these areas, which have been previously unconnected in RPP literature. We conclude with recommendations for school and university partners and future research on RPPs.

寻找研究与实践伙伴关系的核心:政治化的信任、互惠主义和研究的使用

认为研究对从业者来说遥不可及、无关紧要或不可用的假设一直是学术界的一个主题。研究实践伙伴关系（RPP）等研究联盟试图通过让研究人员、从业者和/或社区组织形成合作伙伴关系来缓解这一问题，利用研究来解决实践中的实际问题。先前的工作强调了形成和维持这些长期伙伴关系所固有的复杂性，包括政治、建立信任、时间和可用资源。在本文中，我们围绕我们认为是RPP核心的三个关键因素对我们自己的RPP进行了反思性分析：政治化信任、互惠主义和研究的使用。本文阐述了在每一个领域的成功和失败点，这些领域以前在RPP文献中是不相关的。最后，我们对学校和大学合作伙伴以及未来RPP研究提出了建议。
