Abstract：
Bridging gaps between educational stakeholders at the classroom, school, and system levels is essential to achieve sustainable change in primary and secondary education. However, transferring knowledge or building capacity within this network of loosely coupled stakeholders is demanding. The brokerage concept holds promise for studying these complex patterns of interaction, as it refers to how specific actors (brokers) link loosely coupled or disconnected individuals (brokering). However, different research traditions, in terms of theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches, and various stakeholders examined in their role as bridge builders make understanding the role of brokers, brokering, and brokerage in changing educational practice challenging. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the current literature on these concepts in educational change research. In a systematic literature review based on 42 studies, we analyzed each study\'s theoretical assumptions, methodological approach, scope in terms of stakeholders involved, and empirical findings. First, the literature review revealed that research on educational change refers to four different theoretical frameworks when focusing on brokers, brokering, or brokerage. Second, our results indicate that predominantly qualitative approaches have been applied. Third, using content network graphs, we identified teachers and principals as among the most frequently analyzed brokers. Fourth, four relevant aspects of the empirical findings are presented: brokers\' personal characteristics, conditions that enable brokering, successful brokering strategies, and outcomes of brokerage. Finally, we outline a future research agenda based on the empirical evidence base and shortcomings.
摘要：
弥合课堂上教育利益相关者之间的差距，学校,和系统水平对于实现中小学教育的可持续变革至关重要。然而,在这个松散耦合的利益相关者网络中转移知识或建设能力的要求很高。经纪概念有望研究这些复杂的互动模式，因为它指的是特定的参与者(经纪人)如何连接松散耦合或断开的个人(经纪)。然而,不同的研究传统，在理论框架和方法论方面，以及各种利益相关者作为桥梁建设者所扮演的角色，让他们理解经纪人的角色，经纪，和经纪在改变教育实践中具有挑战性。因此,这项研究的目的是提供有关教育变革研究中这些概念的当前文献的概述。在基于42项研究的系统文献综述中，我们分析了每项研究的理论假设，方法论方法，涉及的利益相关者的范围，和实证研究结果。首先,文献综述显示，当关注经纪人时，关于教育变革的研究指的是四个不同的理论框架，经纪，或经纪。第二,我们的结果表明，主要采用定性方法。第三，使用内容网络图，我们确定教师和校长是最经常分析的经纪人之一。第四，提出了实证研究结果的四个相关方面：经纪人的个人特征，促成经纪的条件，成功的经纪策略，和经纪结果。最后,我们根据经验证据基础和不足概述了未来的研究议程。
