ROSE, Richard. Learning from Each Other: Respecting Cultural Differences in an International Research Agenda¹. Rev. bras. educ. espec. [online]. 2016, vol.22, n.2, pp.167-174. ISSN 1980-5470.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S1413-65382216000200002.

As opportunities for international research collaboration increase, it becomes increasingly important to recognise the importance of respecting cultural differences in our traditions and approaches to the research process. By discussing these differences and also establishing common ground, it is possible to strengthen research capacity and draw upon a range of methodological and philosophical expertise. Such a process should also enable educational researchers to reconsider their relationships with other professionals and to engage with them in order to ensure that effective dissemination informs policy and practice. This necessitates the promotion of wider partnerships for research that respect the professional skills of teachers and other users of educational research. This paper challenges the notion that research should be exclusively located within the academy and calls for a reappraisal of working practices, that may lead to a more collegiate approach which thereby directly influences teaching and learning.
