Unit 10 - Intro to Knowledge Translation Flashcards
Knowledge translation
putting research into action to effect change
Model A
repacking knowledge as something more attractive or accessible
Model B
knowledge user has gaps and reaches out for help (maybe grants or informal contracts)
Model D
institution which fosters linkage and exchange thorough a system
Model C
partnership: researchers and knowledge users working in collaboration for mutual benefit
when can KT occur
All stages of research but usually, ‘After the scientific method has occurred and the science is settled’
explicit knowledge
easy to write down things
tacit knowledge
insite, intuit, experience
influence mapping
identify individuals with power
force field analysis
on either side of idea list forces against and for change and assign each one a value
things to keep in mind when talking about forces
- timing is everything
- things are subjective
- force field analysis can change
why prioritise stakeholders
should make work better, want people who align with you, time consuming
policy making process (5 topics)
- agenda-setting
- identification of policy alternatives
- policy formation
- policy implementation
- evaluation
focus groups
- 8 to 12
- understand opinions and experience
- bias
key informant interviews
- open ended questions
- bias
- how do you choose person
surveys
- short or long
- target large variety
- open ended
- have both types of data
implementation research
KT applied after scientific method
direct observations
- observer goes to site
- collect data
Participatory action research
- involve participates in research
- no expert
community based monitoring
volunteers engaging in collecting, analysing, and using data
engaged scholarship
generation of new knowledge through the combining of academic knowledge and community based knowledge
engaged scholarship vs. KT
all ES is KT, NOT all KT is ES
