Penuel  \nUniversity of Colorado Boulder  \nHeather C. Hill  \nHarvard University  \nResearch-practice partnerships are collaborative research arrangements that seek to transform the relations among researchers, educators, and communities. There is a wide diversity in partnership forms and research methods used in them. In addition, there remain questions about the value of partnerships, given the time and resources they require to build and maintain. In this introduction to the special topic collection on research-practice partnerships, we provide an overview of how the collection adds to our knowledge of the dynamics and outcomes of such partnerships and identify areas for future study.  \nKeywords: case studies, collaboration, educational policy, research utilization, research-practice partnerships  \nThe relationship between research and practice in education has long been the subject of self-questioning by scholars (Lagemann, 1997, 2002) . The past two decades have been a particularly intense time of self-scrutiny, as researchers have asked questions about what makes research trustworthy for educational decision makers to use (e.g., Dynarski, 2006; Feuer, Towne, & Shavelson, 2002) and about what makes research relevant to practice (e.g., Gutiérrez & Penuel, 2014; Miller, Drill, & Behrstock, 2010) . It has also been a time of innovation and investment in new collaborations between research and practice, including in new, hybrid forms of research that integrates design and testing of innovations atthe scale of districts, states, and networks (e.g., Bryk, 2015; Cobb, Jackson, Henrick, Smith, & the MIST Team, 2018; Donovan, 2013; LeMahieu, Nordstrum, & Potvin, 2017) . Multiple federal agencies and private foundations have been particularly supportive of long-term collaborations focused on goals related to the improvement of teaching practice and student outcomes.  \nThese research-practice partnerships (RPPs) share some common features, as identified by Coburn, Penuel, and Geil (2013) . First, they are long term, lasting beyond a single project and reflecting an open-ended commitment of partners to one another. Second, they seek to give partners a say in the purpose and direction of the work. In so doing, they aspire to mutualism, though achieving mutualism requires attending to imbalances of power in existing relationships  \nand institutional practices that make it difficult for partners to trust one another (Bang, Medin, Washinawatok, & Chapman, 2010; Vakil, de Royston, Nasir, & Kirshner, 2016). As such, partnerships require intentional organization to accomplish their aims. Research is a core activity of partnerships, which distinguishes them from collaborations that focus principally on service delivery (e.g., professional development, evaluation) and pure advocacy. In contrast to much research in education, however, the questions center not on advancing knowledge and theory for its own sake buton practice; that is, the research focuses on how to improve intermediate and long-term outcomes for students, their families, and their communities.  \nAll of the partnerships described in this special topic collection met the criteria outlined above, and the articles met an additional criterion: They responded to a call for more empirical research into the dynamics and outcomes of partnership research. There remains too little research on whether partnerships can achieve their ambitious aims for change or on the dynamics with which all partnerships must grapple, from figuring out counternormative roles t","cbCaiiblgxxys1MT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiblgxxys1MT","pdf",386853,"English","# Building a Knowledge Base on Research-Practice Partnerships\n## Introduction to the Special Topic Collection\n## Rationale: Research and practice in education","[{\"question\":\"What are research-practice partnerships (RPPs) intended to do?\",\"answer\":\"RPPs are collaborative arrangements designed to transform relationships among researchers, educators, and communities, supporting research that improves practice and student outcomes.\"},{\"question\":\"What shared features define many RPPs?\",\"answer\":\"Common features include long-term commitment beyond a single project, giving partners a voice in the work’s purpose and direction, and intentional organization to address power imbalances and trust.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the introduction emphasize a need for further empirical research?\",\"answer\":\"It notes that too little research examines whether partnerships achieve their ambitious change goals and how partners navigate dynamics such as counternormative roles and differences in power.\"}]","Building a Knowledge Base on Research-Practice Partnerships - Introduction to the Special Topic Collection | PDF",1792068441,13]
