Who Really Cares about Using Education Research in Policy and Practice?
Developing a Culture of Research Engagement
In today's dynamic and rapidly evolving world, evidence-informed decision-making has emerged as a cornerstone in guiding effective education policy and practice. In particular, creating a culture of research engagement is often highlighted as a key ingredient to strengthening the impact of research. However, it is not always clear how that works in practice.
The publication provides analyses of data collected from more than 30 education systems. It delves into how systemic and organisational capacity for thoughtful engagement with research can be built into policy and practice. It also contains concrete examples of building a culture of research engagement by presenting diverse case studies, analyses, tools and processes. It is intended as a practical resource for policy makers, educational leaders, teachers and the research community to stimulate reflection and guide their efforts to developing a culture of research engagement in education.
Foreword
Education research is the cornerstone of effective policies and practices that can in turn drive societal progress and empower individuals for the future. The Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI) is dedicated to supporting countries with timely research insights and forward-looking approaches to help them design robust and future-ready education systems. At the heart of CERI's mission is the recognition of education research as a fundamental pillar for achieving quality education. The work conducted in the Strengthening the Impact of Education Research project contributes to that mission by providing evidence-based insights and fostering a greater understanding of how countries can reinforce policy makers’ and practitioners’ engagement with education research.
