Following a brief presentation of translation as an act of transformation and commitment, it assesses the fertility of this model drawing on Paul Standish’s work on social justice. Based on this model, this paper examines an important debate in educational research: the relationship between research and practice. It adresses two issues raised by this model, the question of the criteria used in order to judge the quality and relevance of research, and the question of translation interfaces. This has certain implications for teaching, educational research and teacher training.</span></p> ER -
