几十年来，教育工作者已经制定了无数的干预措施和理论，关于如何创造持久的变化。实施研究是对这些努力的研究，并提出一系列基本问题：我们在做什么？有效果吗？为谁？在哪？在哪？什么时候？怎么做？为什么？换句话说，实施研究是一种奋进，以了解教育工作是否以及如何实现其目标。本章描述了实施研究的景观，追溯其历史根源，并将其与其他领域联系起来，旨在确定不同努力的共同点。作者调查了该领域的现状，并强调了长期困扰研究人员的复杂问题的不同观点。他们概述了未来的一些棘手问题，并提出了一个共同的概念清晰和明确沟通和理解的语言，这将有助于研究人员了解如何实施研究工作的各种机构是相关的。作者最后描述了此时此刻教育研究界面临的机会：利用和学习教育和其他领域的历史和当代工作，并确定理论和方法之间的联系，并找到共同前进的方法，以实现更好的教育的共同目标。
Over many decades, educators have developed countless interventions and theories about how to create lasting change. Implementation research is the study of these efforts with a set of basic questions: What are we doing? Is it working? For whom? Where? When? How? And, Why? In other words, implementation research is an endeavor to understand if and how educational efforts are accomplishing their goals. This chapter describes the landscape of implementation research, tracing it back to its historical roots and connecting it to other fields with the aim of identifying common threads across diverse efforts. The authors survey where the field is today and highlight different perspectives on complex questions that have long troubled researchers. They outline some of the sticky issues ahead and make a case for shared conceptual clarity and clearly communicated and understood language that will help researchers understand how various bodies of implementation research work are related. The authors conclude by describing the opportunity presented to the education research community in this moment: to capitalize on and learn from historical and contemporary work in education and other fields, and to identify connections across theories and approaches and find ways to collectively move forward toward the shared goal of making education better.
