Abstract

This article analyzes the concept of knowledge mobilization from its importance as a novel term in the contemporary educational context. The ways in which knowledge is transmitted to the educational community generated the emergence of a growing line of research that analyzes how these knowledges are mobilized from universities and research centers to educational agents and society. Through an exhaustive theoretical review, this paper presents the fundamentals of the concept, describes empirical studies that address it and mentions the suggestions that researchers of the subject themselves made to improve the impact of the mobilization of knowledge in the educational reality.
