Abstract

This article presents an investigation that seeks to identify the views that no university teachers have two types of educational research articles: a more academic and other of disseminating, and, thus, determine whether the dissemination articles are helping to bring research to teachers. To achieve this were replicate and adapt the studies of Zeuli (1994) and Bartels (2003). Specifically, was made a qualitative study in which they were asked to twenty experienced teachers (ten Primary ten secondary, half-initiated research, half not) to read two research papers one of dissemination and other more academic but similar theme. After that it was conducted an interview with each of them. The results, consistent with other studies, suggest that teachers are critical articles and negatively valued the lack of usefulness of the results, criticize the language used, they consider that studies are of little interest and low quality. Also, the dissemination articles generally fail to bridge the gap between research and educational practice.
