Researcher-Practitioner Collaboration During a PhD Study : A Single-Case Study
2019
The academic-practitioner relationship has been alleged to be subject to various tensions and dualities; the divide between academia and practice has even been characterized as unbridgeable. This paper presents a research case of a long-lasting, successful collaboration between a researcher and senior practitioners during a PhD research process. An intensive single-case study was conducted to describe the unique characteristics of this collaborative process and to analyse and discuss the factors which contributed to the success of the collaboration. The objectives, practices as well as benefits and drawbacks of the collaboration are also described and discussed. Several factors of success r…
La colaboración científica: principales líneas de investigación y retos de futuro
2014
The construction of knowledge is a collaborative process that has seen a dramatic growth over recent decades, since almost all research activities now involve increasing numbers of researchers, institutions, disciplines and countries. The present study provides a bibliographic review of the literature on research collaboration and identifies pioneering work on the topic, the types of studies undertaken and the variables analyzed. Several approaches are discussed: the “classical” approach, based on bibliometric indicators, which has taken on a new dimension with Social Network Analysis; and quantitative and qualitative approaches, which attempt to investigate the motivations and dynamics of …
Enhancing innovation capability and business opportunities : cases of SME-oriented applied research

Understanding teachers’ mental models of collaboration to enhance the learning community
2022
This study examined representations of Finnish basic education teachers’ mental models of collaboration to reveal the background features that enable or hinder changes in a school community and teacher collaboration. In this case study, we explored 41 teachers’ mental models of collaboration in a one-school community to identify and understand the features that enhance or challenge collaboration. The findings raise the question of how collaboration can support a school’s transition to a unified comprehensive school, when teachers are accustomed to working alone with a strong sense of autonomy and diverse mental models of collaboration. The findings revealed that collaboration is mainly limi…
La ricerca azione con progetto
2021
Sono svolte alcune considerazioni, di carattere metodologico, ricavate dalla riflessione su quelle ricerche empiriche, che sono state svolte negli ultimi quaranta anni nelle scuole italiane, con una doppia connotazione: la collaborazione paritaria tra un ricercatore di didattica e gli insegnanti in servizio e l’intento esplicito di migliorare alcune competenze professionali dei docenti, con il conseguente impianto di innovazioni didattiche nella scuola. E’ giustificata la procedura della ricerca azione con progetto (RAP), che cerca di contemperare l’esigenza di rigorosità della ricerca scientifica e la flessibilità imposta ai piani di ricerca dalla variabilità delle situazioni scolastiche. …
La collaborazione scuola-università nella formazione dei futuri maestri. Una ricerca svolta presso il corso di laurea magistrale in Scienze della For…
2017
La collaborazione tra la scuola e l'università nella formazione iniziale degli insegnanti di scuola primaria e dell'infanzia si esplica principalmente attraverso il tirocinio e i laboratori, dove si creano anche delle occasioni propizie per impostare e svolgere insieme delle ricerche in campo didattico. Un'attività di ricerca, promossa autonomamente dall'università, dovrebbe affiancare la sua azione formativa per verificarne periodicamente l'efficacia, ogni volta che vengono introdotte delle innovazioni significative. In questo breve intervento, si riportano i primi risultati della quarta ricerca svolta negli ultimi dodici anni sull'efficacia formativa del corso di studi in Scienze della Fo…
Indicadores de actividad científica en investigadores singulares: perfil bibliométrico de Eduardo Primo Yúfera, expresidente del CSIC
2012
[EN] Eduardo Primo Yúfera was the founder of the Institute of Agrochemicals and Food Technology (IATA-CSIC) and was its director until being appointed president of the Spanish National Research Council. He is considered both patron and promoter of the fields of food science and technology and chemical ecology in Spain, as well as pioneer of the innovation system model (R+D+i). Throughout his long research career,which lasted 65 years, he published 291 scientifi c papers, with an average of 4.48 papers per year. Of these, 89.3 % were in collaboration with others: a total of 161 different coauthors. His efforts to disseminate science led him to create the Revista de Agroquímica y Tecnología d…
Scientific productivity and collaboration in viticulture and enology in Latin American countries
2013
[EN] The aim of this study was to analyze the scientific activity of Latin American researchers in viticulture and oenology through bibliometric analyses of articles included in the Science Citation Index Expanded database for the period of 2006 to 2010. A total of 917 research articles were published in 364 domestic and international journals. We highlight the important growth in the number of research papers published during the period, especially in Brazil, Argentina and Chile, as well as an increasing number of international collaborations, mainly with non-American grape- and-wine producing countries. A social network analysis of collaborations between institutions and countries was als…
Leveraging National Auditing Criteria to Implement Cybersecurity Safeguards for the Automotive Emergency Response Vehicles : A case study from Finland
2017
A modern Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV) is a combination of emergency services and functional mobile office on the wheels. The mobile office is aiming to leverage the benefits of fixed office while moving on the wheels. Researchers have observed that emergency response personnel including Law Enforcement Authorities (LEAs), Police and border guards, could be on the duty while having possibility to use same services compared to fixed office. On the one hand, demand of mobile office has significantly improved the emergency response services. On the other hand, emergency vehicle designers should rethink the demand of users. This resulted into modern standard emergency response vehicle with t…
Setting Individual Goals for Pupils with Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities : Engaging in the Activity Area-Based Curriculum Making
2021
The activity area-based curriculum model (AACM) is used in the Finnish basic education to support pupils—most of whom have profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD)—who could benefit more from skills that advance independent life coping. Existing studies have concentrated mainly on the Individual Education Plan (IEP) goal-setting process for pupils with milder disabilities than PIMD and have consistently demonstrated significant barriers in the process. This study explores the collaborative IEP goal-setting process for pupils with the AACM. Sixty-five Finnish special education teachers using the AACM participated in the study. Semi-structured interviews were analysed with thema…
