Knowledge mobilisation processes on inclusive education in swiss schools. what role do researchers/trainers play in advising school improvement processes?

Abstract

Using the perceptions of the actors (researchers, principals and teachers) involved in the processes of change in Swiss school improvement processes, this study aims to identify the role of researchers/ trainers in school improvement. Methodologically, it is a descriptive study in which 13 respondents from four schools with inclusive projects have participated. Based on the content analysis of semistructured interviews, the results give an account of the roles they adopt and the strategies used by researchers/ trainers to mobilize knowledge on inclusive education.
