“…As Hood (2007) has underlined, policymaking can be said to have its own logic strongly influenced by its inherent cultural characteristics of interest negotiation, timing, the matching between knowledge and current political issues, and the symbolic importance of making policies attractive to the larger audience. Faced with the latest developments toward post-truth in politics (e.g., Rider & Peters, 2018), one could also argue that power/knowledge problems become more pressing than ever before, underlying the important role of systematic reviews and knowledge-brokering initiatives. In science, knowledge is often perceived differently than in policy.…”

Evidence-informed policy and practice has been a trend as part of an effort to increase the use of research to improve education at all levels. In many countries, knowledge-brokering initiatives were established to stimulate links between research, policy, and practice. Drawing on a mapping of initiatives in seven countries, this article describes different organizational designs, and discusses potential dilemmas these might imply for the realization of these organizations' roles. Given different interests involved, the article shows that organizational design is crucial for enhancing legitimacy. Findings indicate a trend toward locating the knowledge-brokering function in a combined policy-science logic.

“…Not to mention, there are both reliable and unreliable resources in forms of appealing or less appealing multimedia, which might determine users' tendencies to choose these as primary sources. Today's society, the so-called post-truth society, tend to prefer and trust resources they feel emotionally close so much that they might even ignore the facts (Rider & Peters, 2018). This might be considered to be a distracting factor from an educational perspective; however, it can also provide educators with a variety of instruments that enhance teaching and learning process, considering the role of emotions on cognition, motivation and learning.…”

This study aims to investigate the effect of different formats of emotionally designed educational animations in terms of the emotional worthiness of the material, retention and transfer, intrinsic motivation, subject interest and cognitive load. In this direction, an experimental research approach was adopted. Five emotionally diverged animations were developed for the study, one of which was designed without adding any appealing illustrations. Animations were about the life cycle of low mass stars and was developed by researchers under the supervision of an animation expert. With one control and four treatment groups, experiment was carried out with the participation of 256 students at a state university in Turkey. Data were gathered using Turkish adaptation of Subject Interest Scale, Intrinsic Motivation Scale, one-item Subjective Cognitive Load Scale, and a retention test, a transfer tests and an emotional experience survey which were developed by the researchers. Turkish adaptation process of Subject Interest Scale and Intrinsic Motivation Scale were also conducted by the researchers. Findings showed that two of the animations, both of which included character animations and one of which was enhanced by an introduction music and emotionally complementary sound effects, were emotionally effective. According to the results, emotionally effective animations had positive effects on transfer, intrinsic motivation and subject interest while no effect was found in terms of retention and cognitive load.
