Funding bodies seek to promote scientific research that has a social or economic impact beyond academia, including in sport management. Knowledge translation in sport management remains largely implicit and is yet to be fully understood. This study examines how knowledge translation in sport management can be conceptualized and fostered. The authors draw on a comparative analysis of coproduced research projects in Belgium and Australia to identify the strategic, cognitive, and logistic translation practices that researchers adopt, as well as enablers and constraints that affect knowledge translation. The findings show ways in which knowledge translation may be facilitated and supported, such as codesign, boundary spanning, adaptation of research products, and linkage and exchange activities. The findings reveal individual, organizational, and external constraints that need to be recognized and, where possible, managed.

In addressing the theory-practice divide, this research provides valuable insight into preservice teachers’ (PSTs) learning through an experiential learning (EL) framework during teacher education. Utilizing an interpretivist approach, this study aims at providing insight on how PSTs link the manner in which they learned during teacher education to how they teach during school placement. Evidence suggested participants valued faciliating enjoyable and meaningful learning experiences for their students in the course of learning through an EL approach. Learning through an experiential approach provided the PSTs with confidence in what to teach. However, the PSTs also assumed their own students would have similar responses to the learning experiences they had themselves when completing tasks during teacher education. PSTs were limited in their ability to recognize student learning and in understanding student capacity for progression. Implications of the findings for teacher education are discussed.

their performance. One reason for the reexamination of teacher education has been a perennial critique, which is best described as a theory–practice divide. It is a topic that has been repeatedly discussed in the physical education literature ( Armour, 2017 ; Dillon et al., 2017 ; O’Leary et al., 2015

Teacher education scholars worldwide have called for more relevance in teacher education ( Darling-Hammond, 2021 ). Among the common critiques is a theory–practice divide that manifests itself in two ways: (a) The theory being learned is not relevant to what teachers do in their job and (b

, we also attempt to bridge the theory–practice divide discussed by Weedon and Wilson ( 2020 ), whereby academics engage in critiques of sports media in ways that are seen as unhelpful or even suspect by journalists. Our interest in this topic comes from our own engagement with sports media, the
