  In Roundtable Session: Roundtable: School-University Partnership Research (Table 15)

Abstract

Globally, universities are being challenged to transform and re-think the ways in which they interact with school practitioners to optimise the rich learning experience they can provide. There has been an increasing interest and emphasis on Research-Practice-Partnerships (RPPs) to increase the impact of research work. This study seeks to create a survey instrument based on an international review that aims to assess the predominant types of RPPs in Singapore context. The findings from the study will provide insights into the dimensions that characterise the nature and impact of RPPs in the assessment of these RPPs in the Singapore context.
