Improving Learning centres on the findings from different areas of
education-focused research that support evidence-informed teaching
and contextualises these results to optimise decision-making in
schools. It also describes the origins and principles of
meta-analysis in education and how this identifies the successes in
improving learning in classrooms. Moreover, it explains the
thinking behind the 'Teaching and Learning Toolkit' and similar
approaches, which seek a big-picture overview of research findings.
The advantages and disadvantages of this approach are explored with
practical examples. Additionally, it identifies the issues in using
research evidence in education and the steps that can be taken to
improve this. It is not a manual on how to conduct a meta-analysis;
instead the focus is on developing understanding of the approach in
order to present its strengths and weaknesses. This understanding
can advance critical engagement and effective use to improve
educational outcomes for children and young people.
