Enlarging the knowledge transfer realm through engagement with research stakeholders: a conversation attempt with action research

Abstract

[ES]: Muchos estudios de transferencia de conocimiento analizan canales que llevan el conocimiento de la universidad a la industria y la sociedad. La investigación-acción se ha convertido en un método para producir y transferir conocimiento científico al mismo tiempo; sin embargo, los estudios de transferencia de conocimiento rara vez emplean la investigación-acción, y la investigación-acción rara vez ha abordado el tema de la transferencia de conocimiento. Por lo tanto, ha habido pocas oportunidades para reflexionar sobre los límites entre el objeto de los estudios de transferencia de conocimiento y la transferencia de conocimiento incorporada en la investigación-acción. Aquí presentamos un primer intento teórico para llenar este vacío, aclarando los conceptos en juego y extrayendo lecciones para los estudios de transferencia de conocimiento sobre las dimensiones a través de las cuales ocurre la transferencia de conocimiento en el espacio comunicativo generado durante la investigación-acción. También fundamentamos nuestras reflexiones sobre la idoneidad de introducir la investigación-acción en los estudios de transferencia de conocimiento mediante la realización de entrevistas con algunos de los investigadores más influyentes en el campo. La investigación-acción se posiciona como una forma de aumentar el compromiso con las partes interesadas en la investigación, como lo exigen las demandas actuales para lograr un mayor impacto social. Este compromiso se destaca como una fuente de conceptos clave y una mejor interpretación de los resultados en los estudios de transferencia de conocimientos.

[EN]: Many knowledge transfer studies analyze channels that carry knowledge from university to industry and society. Action research has become a method to produce and transfer scientific knowledge at the same time; however, knowledge transfer studies rarely employ action research, and action research has rarely addressed the topic of knowledge transfer. Hence, there have been few opportunities to reflect upon the boundaries between the object of knowledge transfer studies and the knowledge transfer embodied in action research. Here, we present a first theoretical attempt to fill this gap, clarifying the concepts at play and drawing lessons for knowledge transfer studies about the dimensions through which knowledge transfer occurs in the communicative space generated during action research. We also ground our reflections on the suitability of introducing action research in knowledge transfer studies by conducting interviews with some of the most influential researchers in the field. Action research is posited as a way to increase engagement with research stakeholders, as called for by current demands to achieve higher societal impact. Engagement is highlighted as a source of key concepts and improved interpretation of results in knowledge transfer studies.

The Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities (CSO2016-79045-C2-2-R Project of the Spanish National R&D&I Plan) and the AICO\2021\21 Project of the Valencian Government funded Joaquín M. Azagra Caro's contribution to the special section. Alejandra Boni’s contribution is part of the RDI project PID2019-107251RB-100 granted by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033.
