Worldwide, there has been considerable progress in the quality of
research evidence generated for use in education, but not the
equivalent growth in knowledge of how best to get this evidence
into actual use. Yet with far-reaching implications, all of
education is damaged when persuasive but poor-quality evidence has
widespread influence, or good research lies unused. Focused on the
work of the Durham University Evidence Centre for Education,
Getting Evidence into Education addresses this problem, examining
what can be done to improve the take-up of suitable research
evidence and inform the public service of education. Containing a
variety of case studies, from evidence-based policies for early
childhood education in Brazil, to the use of evidence on
contextualized admissions to Scottish universities, the volume
explores a variety of different ways to approach the problem,
addressing the questions: What is the existing evidence on
different approaches to getting research evidence into use? What
are the factors which influence the uptake of high-quality research
evidence by policy or practice? Which are the most effective
pathways for evidence-into-use in particular contexts? Considering
both the practical and ethical implications, the book builds
towards key recommendations for the research community,
practitioner bodies and policy-makers and advisors, directing them
on how to communicate better with each other for the benefit of
everyone.
