Background

Published research evidence is typically not readily applicable to practice but needs to be actively mobilised.

Objectives

This paper explores the mechanisms used by information professionals with a specific knowledge mobilisation role to make evidence useful for local decision making and planning of public health interventions.

Methods

Data are drawn from a NIHR project that studied how, when, where and by whom published research evidence is used in commissioning and planning across two sites (one in England and one in Scotland). Data included 11 in‐depth interviews with information professionals, observations at meetings and documentary analysis.

Results

Published research evidence is made fit for local commissioning and planning purposes by information professionals through two mechanisms. They localise evidence (relate evidence to local context and needs) and tailor it (present actionable messages).

Discussion

Knowledge mobilisation roles of information professionals are not recognised and researched. Information professionals contribute to the ‘inform’ and ‘relational’ functions of knowledge mobilisation; however, they are less involved in improving the institutional environment for sustainable knowledge sharing.

Conclusion

Information professionals are instrumental in shaping what evidence enters local decision making processes. Identifying and supporting knowledge mobilisation roles within health libraries should be the focus of future research and training.

Patronage and an oral tradition: Influences on attributions of distance learners in a traditional society (A qualitative study)     

Karen Murphy 《Distance Education》1991,12(1):27-53

This paper examines sociocultural influences on the attributions for success and failure among distance learners in Turkey. To gather data on influences on student attributions, in‐depth interviews and observations of four first‐year distance learners were conducted. The two influences discussed, patronage and oral tradition, are central aspects of Turkish culture — emanatingfrom Islam and the Ottoman Empire. It was found that, when the distance learners operated outside the traditional patronage system in a society with roots in an oral tradition, they coped with their first year in the system by reconceptualising their roles as both students and employees. Implications of this research relate to problems inherent in applying Western‐based attribution theory to distance learners in traditional cultures.  相似文献   

Changes in and Stability of Cardiovascular Responses to Behavioral Stress: Results from a Four-Year Longitudinal Study of Children   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Karen A. Matthews  Karen L. Woodall  Catherine M. Stoney 《Child development》1990,61(4):1134-1144

This study examined the changes in and stability of cardiovascular responses to behavioral stress among 132 children in a 4-year longitudinal study. Children's heart rate and blood pressure were measured at rest and while performing 3 tasks: serial subtraction, mirror image tracing, and isometric exercise. This procedure was followed at study entry when children were in grades 2-12 (ages 6-18 years) and at follow-up when children were in grades 6 through post-high school (ages 11-21 years). Results showed that blood pressure and heart rate responses during the tasks were reliable across time for all measures except heart rate responses during isometric exercise. Systolic blood pressure responses to all tasks increased with age for boys, but not for girls. These results support the notion that cardiovascular responses to behavioral stress are a stable individual difference variable.  相似文献

Assessing Girls' Reactions to Science Workshops     

Yanowitz  Karen L.  Vanderpool  Staria S. 《Journal of Science Education and Technology》2004,13(3):353-359

Many science education programs have recently been developed to increase girls' participation in science, however, few formal evaluations of these types of programs have been reported. The present research evaluated fifth grade girls' perceptions of a 1-day science education program. Students attended workshops describing different science fields. Study 1 revealed that attending the workshops increased students' interest in the specific field covered in the workshop. However, even after attending the workshops, students did not believe women typically entered those various fields. A second year evaluation revealed that most students agreed they had learned about individual tasks that scientists do in the various fields. However, significantly fewer believed they learned about educational requirements, problems women might face in the field, or how science can be used to help people. Results are discussed in terms of potential factors that workshop presenters might want to consider in future programs.  相似文献   

Disjunctured reciprocity: paradoxes of community-school relationship in Nepal     

Uma Pradhan  Shivana Shrestha  Karen Valentin 《Globalisation, Societies & Education》2019,17(5):561-573

ABSTRACT

Community-based school governance has been promoted as a popular policy for decentralisation of education around the world. Within this policy, schools are expected to create institutional spaces such as School Management Committees with an assumption of reciprocal relation between school and community. This article questions the simplistic assumption through an ethnographic study of community-school relationship in Nepal. While these relationships may conflict with the kind of reciprocity assumed in school governance policies, we argue that this disjunctured reciprocity, firstly, reflects the gap between policy blueprints and action, and, secondly, reveals the competing logics of community-school relations which remain unacknowledged.  相似文献

Clergy’s Views of the Relationship between Science and Religious Faith and the Implications for Science Education     

Daniel L. Dickerson  Karen R. Dawkins  John E. Penick 《Science & Education》2008,17(4):359-386

Since many teachers and students recognize other kinds of knowledge (faith) based on other ways of knowing, consideration of these realities is appropriate for the science education community. Understanding the multitude of ways that clergy view relationships between science and faith (i.e. alternative ways of knowing) would assist in understanding various ways that people address complex issues arising from ideas about science and faith. We administered a questionnaire composed of multiple-choice and short answer items to 63 United Methodist ministers. Findings included (1) that formal, organized faith contexts (e.g. church services) serve as informal science education opportunities, (2) participants demonstrated considerable diversity regarding the types of relationships developed between science and faith, and (3) participants recognized a need exists for better understandings of science and its relationship to faith for them, their colleagues, and their congregations.
