摘要：This paper examines the unbundling of research in the context of the Teachers’ ResearchExchange (T-REX) platform, the national flagship Internet platform in Ireland for teachersto access, use and engage in research. This paper draws on two theoretical frameworks:Laurillard’s conversational framework and Salmon’s five-stage model. The first highlightsthe experimental, exploratory and creative aspects of developing an overall framework tostructure the digital learning environment for teachers-as-researchers. The second exploresthe future of higher education and systems like T-REX in the era of digital transformationand the emerging context of Education 4.0. The original contribution is the integration ofthese frameworks in the creation of an open and shared learning platform so that schools andteachers can be supported to access, collaborate in and undertake research. In particular, thepaper outlines signature features of the T-REX design and the way it has emerged over thelast 5 years as an innovative platform to mediate the fusion of research and teaching ineducation. The paper highlights key issues and challenges in unbundling the traditionaluniversity, particularly in the context of educational research, but also the imperative of doingso, in the emerging era of Education 4.0.Implications for practice or policy:• Supporting teachers’ research engagement is increasingly identified as a key priority inthe improvement of educational standards and systems.• T-REX is of value to educationalists interested in a shared learning and open onlineteacher-research platform.• There should be a dialogic approach to the relationship between teaching and research,where each informs and enhances the other.
