Abstract

Educational researchers have the responsibility to bring the knowledge we produce closer to people and communities so they can benefit from scientific advancements. In this regard, the ALLINTERACT project aims to create new knowledge about how to transform potential citizen participation into actual engagement in research. Within this project, this paper presents a literature review on how citizens benefit from the social impact of research on education. Findings show that educational actions and programs that focus on the co-creation of knowledge that combines scientific evidence and local knowledge provided by communities achieve greater impact in education in diverse educational contexts.
