요약As the 21st century unfolds, the world has become increasingly fast-paced, interconnected and unpredictable compared to previous generations (McChrystal, et al., 2015). As a result, education researchers and practitioners must be prepared for the challenge of helping students better apply their knowledge to respond to the complex and novel problems that they are increasingly likely to encounter on a regular basis - not only to make them employable in the rapidly-evolving global job market (World Economic Forum, 2016), but also for their ability to navigate their everyday lives and responsibilities (e.g., weighing ever-changing degrees of risk involving COVID-19 variants). But even as education policymakers have explicitly noted the need for students to develop such 21st century skills for the sake of both their individual well-being and the flourishing of human society as a whole (Michigan Department of Education, 2019), K-12 schools in the United States continue to implement curricula and standardized assessments that tend to reinforce maladaptive "habits of mind", including an oversimplified understanding of "ill-structured" topics and a desire to identify "essential" information to apply across all situations even when such information does not exist (Spiro & DeSchryver, 2009). Beyond this, even though learning theories have been promoted within academia that are aimed at instilling a cognitive mindset that embraces complexity and the situationally adaptive assemblage of one's knowledge - for instance, Cognitive Flexibility Theory (CFT; e.g., Spiro, et al., 1987) and corresponding forms of Web-based learning, such as LICRA (Learner-Initiated, Complex, Reciprocally Adaptive) Web searching (DeSchryver & Spiro, 2008) - difficulties involving translation of research into practice have frequently hindered efforts to integrate such cognitive frameworks within ecologically valid learning environments. Partly because of such issues of translation, to date, no curricular strategies have been formally developed by education researchers to adequately address the need to help students develop adaptive learning mindsets in a manner that embodies better understanding of how the thoughts of researchers/theorists and teachers/practitioners need to mutually move toward each other to address that need (i.e., the integrative "meeting of the minds" in the title). And on a broader scale, efforts have not yet been undertaken to formally plan or empirically test what might be entailed when trying to develop paradigms or frameworks aimed at forming a bidirectional translation process between researchers and teachers, in order to more meaningfully bring together learning theories designed to address changing times and teachers' navigation of their pedagogical "realities" in relation to introducing students to such substantial change.As a preliminary step in trying to address these issues, this dissertation sought to begin exploring what a new theoretical paradigm of "translation" might entail, one that in principle calls for a multi-stage process of using collective understanding formed between theorists and practitioners involved in joint collaborative efforts (i.e., communities of practice) to inform modification of academic theories and teachers' notion of practice as needed for more meaningful translation into practice. For such a purpose, a detailed examination of extensive planning discussions was undertaken to begin examining what might go into the process of teachers and researchers coming together to develop mutual understanding between each other for the purpose of ultimately translating modified theory into practice, particularly by documenting the first iteration (planning) of a multi-stage collaboration between two education researchers specializing in CFT/LICRA and one high school U.S. History teacher. More specifically, efforts were made to chronicle their initial six planning discussions over Zoom, which involved the collaborating parties learning about each other's perspectives, discussing constraints reported as being inherent to the teacher's professional "reality", and brainstorming how CFT as a cognitive framework (including use of LICRA for Web-based learning activities) might be integrated by the teacher into his classroom instruction alongside his preexisting pedagogy. The early stages of design research methodology were utilized to modify topics of discussion covered as they evolved in both structure and focus, in order to account for and adaptively respond to notable concerns and insights as they were shared by the collaborators. In a manner involving multi-stage documentation of their interactions for the purpose of informing future systematic and generalizable research in the teacher's classroom setting, data analysis was aimed at identifying noteworthy points of alignment between the teacher and researchers' perspectives, including their respective opinions about how the collaboration itself unfolded and key considerations raised for the teacher's potential implementation of CFT/LICRA within his classroom setting in the future. Finally, emphasis was placed on balancing theory-informed and grounded theming (on a content-based and metacognitive level) for all data obtained across the planning discussions, in order to richly capture the "realities" shared by the collaborators, as well as any "meanings" underpinning those "realities" that appeared to shape their interactions across the collaboration (Saldana, 2016).By examining the teacher and researchers' interactions over their discussions in such a manner, this study aims to inform the development of a framework - one that, like CFT itself, is intended to be flexible, open, adaptive and multi-perspectival in nature - to guide future research on the bidirectional translation process (for example, exploring the potential merits of integrating CFT/LICRA into educational discourse streams seeking to improve existing teaching practices). In particular, it is hoped that the discussions documented for this study can offer valuable insights regarding how such a cognitive theory of learning might help K-12 students more deeply learn and adaptively apply knowledge from ill-structured academic subjects like U.S. History. More broadly, by ascertaining the teacher and researchers' reciprocal influence on each other while constructing meaning within their shared collaborative space, it is anticipated that this communicative framework in development will facilitate future efforts to enact education reform through use of communities of practice similarly designed to systematically bring scholars and practitioners together to help students navigate an ever-changing world.

■520    ▼aAs  the  21st  century  unfolds,  the  world  has  become  increasingly  fast-paced,  interconnected  and  unpredictable  compared  to  previous  generations  (McChrystal,  et  al.,  2015).  As  a  result,  education  researchers  and  practitioners  must  be  prepared  for  the  challenge  of  helping  students  better  apply  their  knowledge  to  respond  to  the  complex  and  novel  problems  that  they  are  increasingly  likely  to  encounter  on  a  regular  basis  -  not  only  to  make  them  employable  in  the  rapidly-evolving  global  job  market  (World  Economic  Forum,  2016),  but  also  for  their  ability  to  navigate  their  everyday  lives  and  responsibilities  (e.g.,  weighing  ever-changing  degrees  of  risk  involving  COVID-19  variants).  But  even  as  education  policymakers  have  explicitly  noted  the  need  for  students  to  develop  such  21st  century  skills  for  the  sake  of  both  their  individual  well-being  and  the  flourishing  of  human  society  as  a  whole  (Michigan  Department  of  Education,  2019),  K-12  schools  in  the  United  States  continue  to  implement  curricula  and  standardized  assessments  that  tend  to  reinforce  maladaptive  "habits  of  mind",  including  an  oversimplified  understanding  of  "ill-structured"  topics  and  a  desire  to  identify  "essential"  information  to  apply  across  all  situations  even  when  such  information  does  not  exist  (Spiro  &  DeSchryver,  2009).  Beyond  this,  even  though  learning  theories  have  been  promoted  within  academia  that  are  aimed  at  instilling  a  cognitive  mindset  that  embraces  complexity  and  the  situationally  adaptive  assemblage  of  one's  knowledge  -  for  instance,  Cognitive  Flexibility  Theory  (CFT;  e.g.,  Spiro,  et  al.,  1987)  and  corresponding  forms  of  Web-based  learning,  such  as  LICRA  (Learner-Initiated,  Complex,  Reciprocally  Adaptive)  Web  searching  (DeSchryver  &  Spiro,  2008)  -  difficulties  involving  translation  of  research  into  practice  have  frequently  hindered  efforts  to  integrate  such  cognitive  frameworks  within  ecologically  valid  learning  environments.  Partly  because  of  such  issues  of  translation,  to  date,  no  curricular  strategies  have  been  formally  developed  by  education  researchers  to  adequately  address  the  need  to  help  students  develop  adaptive  learning  mindsets  in  a  manner  that  embodies  better  understanding  of  how  the  thoughts  of  researchers/theorists  and  teachers/practitioners  need  to  mutually  move  toward  each  other  to  address  that  need  (i.e.,  the  integrative  "meeting  of  the  minds"  in  the  title).  And  on  a  broader  scale,  efforts  have  not  yet  been  undertaken  to  formally  plan  or  empirically  test  what  might  be  entailed  when  trying  to  develop  paradigms  or  frameworks  aimed  at  forming  a  bidirectional  translation  process  between  researchers  and  teachers,  in  order  to  more  meaningfully  bring  together  learning  theories  designed  to  address  changing  times  and  teachers'  navigation  of  their  pedagogical  "realities"  in  relation  to  introducing  students  to  such  substantial  change.As  a  preliminary  step  in  trying  to  address  these  issues,  this  dissertation  sought  to  begin  exploring  what  a  new  theoretical  paradigm  of  "translation"  might  entail,  one  that  in  principle  calls  for  a  multi-stage  process  of  using  collective  understanding  formed  between  theorists  and  practitioners  involved  in  joint  collaborative  efforts  (i.e.,  communities  of  practice)  to  inform  modification  of  academic  theories  and  teachers'  notion  of  practice  as  needed  for  more  meaningful  translation  into  practice.  For  such  a  purpose,  a  detailed  examination  of  extensive  planning  discussions  was  undertaken  to  begin  examining  what  might  go  into  the  process  of  teachers  and  researchers  coming  together  to  develop  mutual  understanding  between  each  other  for  the  purpose  of  ultimately  translating  modified  theory  into  practice,  particularly  by  documenting  the  first  iteration  (planning)  of  a  multi-stage  collaboration  between  two  education  researchers  specializing  in  CFT/LICRA  and  one  high  school  U.S.  History  teacher.  More  specifically,  efforts  were  made  to  chronicle  their  initial  six  planning  discussions  over  Zoom,  which  involved  the  collaborating  parties  learning  about  each  other's  perspectives,  discussing  constraints  reported  as  being  inherent  to  the  teacher's  professional  "reality",  and  brainstorming  how  CFT  as  a  cognitive  framework  (including  use  of  LICRA  for  Web-based  learning  activities)  might  be  integrated  by  the  teacher  into  his  classroom  instruction  alongside  his  preexisting  pedagogy.  The  early  stages  of  design  research  methodology  were  utilized  to  modify  topics  of  discussion  covered  as  they  evolved  in  both  structure  and  focus,  in  order  to  account  for  and  adaptively  respond  to  notable  concerns  and  insights  as  they  were  shared  by  the  collaborators.  In  a  manner  involving  multi-stage  documentation  of  their  interactions  for  the  purpose  of  informing  future  systematic  and  generalizable  research  in  the  teacher's  classroom  setting,  data  analysis  was  aimed  at  identifying  noteworthy  points  of  alignment  between  the  teacher  and  researchers'  perspectives,  including  their  respective  opinions  about  how  the  collaboration  itself  unfolded  and  key  considerations  raised  for  the  teacher's  potential  implementation  of  CFT/LICRA  within  his  classroom  setting  in  the  future.  Finally,  emphasis  was  placed  on  balancing  theory-informed  and  grounded  theming  (on  a  content-based  and  metacognitive  level)  for  all  data  obtained  across  the  planning  discussions,  in  order  to  richly  capture  the  "realities"  shared  by  the  collaborators,  as  well  as  any  "meanings"  underpinning  those  "realities"  that  appeared  to  shape  their  interactions  across  the  collaboration  (Saldana,  2016).By  examining  the  teacher  and  researchers'  interactions  over  their  discussions  in  such  a  manner,  this  study  aims  to  inform  the  development  of  a  framework  -  one  that,  like  CFT  itself,  is  intended  to  be  flexible,  open,  adaptive  and  multi-perspectival  in  nature  -  to  guide  future  research  on  the  bidirectional  translation  process  (for  example,  exploring  the  potential  merits  of  integrating  CFT/LICRA  into  educational  discourse  streams  seeking  to  improve  existing  teaching  practices).  In  particular,  it  is  hoped  that  the  discussions  documented  for  this  study  can  offer  valuable  insights  regarding  how  such  a  cognitive  theory  of  learning  might  help  K-12  students  more  deeply  learn  and  adaptively  apply  knowledge  from  ill-structured  academic  subjects  like  U.S.  History.  More  broadly,  by  ascertaining  the  teacher  and  researchers'  reciprocal  influence  on  each  other  while  constructing  meaning  within  their  shared  collaborative  space,  it  is  anticipated  that  this  communicative  framework  in  development  will  facilitate  future  efforts  to  enact  education  reform  through  use  of  communities  of  practice  similarly  designed  to  systematically  bring  scholars  and  practitioners  together  to  help  students  navigate  an  ever-changing  world.
