Bridging research and Pedagogical Practice : a multifaceted challenge

Abstract

"As an educator and researcher, first at CEGEP in nursing, then at university in higher education pedagogy, I have always focused on ways to increase the educational success and retention of post-secondary students. A never-ending quest, it seems! In this article, I intend to examine the avenues that have been explored by researchers in higher education and to put into perspective the administrative barriers and sometimes conflicting postures of both researchers and teachers, which seem to have hindered the implementation of the proposed orientations. I will then explore ways in which the transfer of research findings into pedagogical practices can be facilitated." -- AQPC
