DESCRIPTION:Why does research on learning and instruction often have so li
 ttle impact on teachers and teaching? Why does research on teaching and te
 acher education often have so little impact on student learning?\n\nIn thi
 s inaugural lecture\, explanations for these remarkable disconnections wil
 l be sought and directions for possible solutions will be proposed. Resear
 ch on students’ learning and teachers’teaching and learning are curren
 tly organized in separate research communities\, with each their own conce
 ptual frameworks\,\nmethodological preferences\, professional organization
 s\, and scientific journals. Cross-referencing is an exception. In my view
 \,traditional boundaries have to be crossed to achieve knowledge advanceme
 nt about how teachers’ and students’ learning may benefit each other: 
 boundaries between research communities\,between communities of practice\,
  and between research and practice. In this lecture\, studies on both stud
 ent learning and teacher professional learning that departed from a common
  learning theory will be discussed. Implications for future research that 
 studies teachers’ and students’ learning in a more\ninterconnected way
  will be derived.
