After identifying rigorous and relevant research evidence about an effective educational approach, teachers, educators and leaders will need to determine if they should use it and how to go about implementation. Deciding whether and how to apply research evidence in a school, service or learning environment is an ongoing process that involves careful reflection.
This practice guide provides advice for making decisions about implementing a new approach, as well as links to additional resources and information. It's the fourth in a series of 4 practice guides the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) has produced to help teachers, educators and leaders use research evidence to strengthen decisions about their practice:
- The Value of Research Evidence
- Looking for Research Evidence
- Assessing Research Evidence
- Applying Research Evidence.
