Abstract
This section describes examples of collaborative research in the New Zealand context that exemplifies partnerships with teachers in tertiary settings and schools. These research partnerships highlight how shared understandings of practice can lead to innovation and learning across disciplines and contexts. Three of the studies are Teaching Learning and Research Initiatives (TLRI). The Ministry of Education TLRI fund was initiated in 2003 and has been instrumental in facilitating and encouraging these types of studies in New Zealand.
