Summary/Abstract: How to Bring Educational Research Closer to Teachers and other Educators in the Globalized World: A Case Study from Slovenia. The article describes a collaborative partnership project between the Faculty of Education and schools. The project was entitled “Partnership of Faculties and Schools, Model IV (2006 – 2007): Studies of Pedagogical Practice and Direct Implementation of the Results in Educational Work,” and involved the University of Primorska, Faculty of Education, Koper, Slovenia, and a variety of schools. Within the project three different networks were developed. The first was the collaboration between the faculty and schools, the second the cooperation amongst schools and the last the cooperation within each school. Each network linked schools, the faculty, classroom teachers, other educators, and university staff thus creating one large network of partnerships. The results of this project are presented in two books; one with articles written by teacher participants and the other written by the faculty staff. Posters to display the research work done were also created by the teachers. On the basis of project reflection a model was constructed to bring research in educational settings closer to education workers. The model has an input/output form and could be modified for different educational settings.
