Abstract	The basic goal of the "linkage agent" or research utilization agent is to facilitate the use of educational research and development to improve educational practice. This task may be conceptualized by a "system" or a "process" model. Successful work in the field of research utilization must encompass elements of both models. In this context, the following problem areas for linkage agents are discussed: weaknesses in the current theoretical models for change, barriers to change, the need to improve school and classroom environments, the fact that educational innovations require new patterns of behavior in a new social context, feedback mechanisms, the need for support systems, training procedures for linkage agents, and the lack of reward and the rootlessness of research utilization agents. Notwithstanding the latter, educators who have the ability and the desire to act as linkage agents will find themselves directly involved in the most pressing problems of the 1970's. Appended is a paper by Martin Tarcher on the value of research involvement as a teaching technique. (DG)
