08 – Rouzana Komesidou on implementation science in schools

Posted on March 26, 2023June 10, 2023 by Brendan

In this episode of the Knowledge for Teachers Podcast, I chat with Dr. Rouzana Komesidou a researcher who fell into implementation science after seeing the gap between research and practice in schools first hand. It is an area that I feel schools are not as aware of as they should be and I was really excited when Rouzana agreed to talk with me. I see implementation science as the glue that can ensure great ideas stick and bad ideas shift.

In our conversation, she gives an overview of what things schools should consider before implementing something, how leaders can support the process and what things to avoid. Here is my conversation with Dr. Rouzana Komesidou.

Resources mentioned in this conversation:

  • Dr. Tiffany Hogan
  • Dr. James Mannion
  • A Generic Implementation Framework for School-based Research and Practice:
    • Pre-print: https://osf.io/6zpq7/ 
    • Toolkit: https://osf.io/mzb5d

Great idea! I have camp next term and will catch up on lots of podcasts. I listened to @rkomesidou episode while watching my son’s play soccer. It was great to hear lots of validation about why we are making changes at our school. Also good to be in the car and out of the rain!
