Henrick, Cobb, Penuel, Jackson and Clark's Dimension 3: RPPs should support the practitioner side in achieving its goals¶

Theory · All theories
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

This framework dimension holds that a primary goal of research-practice partnerships is to support the improvement efforts of the partner practice organization. The presentation cites Henrick, Cobb, Penuel, Jackson and Clark (2017, p.11), reporting that "Interviewees across partnership types reported that a primary goal of RPPs is to support the improvement efforts of the partner practice organization." It is used as the anchor for arguing that researcher roles beyond research still serve partnership goals.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• A partnership with a practitioner-side practice organization whose improvement efforts the partnership supports

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

• practitioner organizations partnering with education researchers

Target Learning Objectives¶

• improvement of practice-organization goals through research-practice partnership work

Claims¶

Related Theories¶

• Research Practice Partnerships (RPPs) as long-term partnerships focused on problems of practice

Examples¶

• RPP researchers can support practitioner partners through concrete non-research supports such as fundraising support, edtech procurement, and building a lesson database
• Responsive RPP Adaptation During Disruption
