Presenters at NASP 2013-2016: Where Are the Practitioners?
Aspiranti, Kathleen B.; Jackson, Carrie
School Psychology Forum, v12 n2 p54-65 Sum 2018
Although one of the main functions of school psychology research is to inform practice, there remains a large research-to-practice gap. Both practitioners and scholars are crucial in ensuring that research within the field is comprehensive and well represented. In the current study, presenter, contributor, and presenter affiliation demographics from the 2013 to 2016 NASP annual conventions were collected. All mini-skills sessions, symposia, and poster, paper, and practitioner conversation sessions were analyzed. Results showed that of the 10,120 presenters, 85% were university affiliated, while only 15% were practitioners. Implications of results regarding this research-to-practice gap are discussed. Suggestions to help practitioners become more involved in research activities are also provided.
