Peer reviewedSupplee, Lauren H. – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2023
There is a well-known gap between research and practice. While there are investments in some strategies to address this gap, they are often not drawing from the existing research on how to improve research use. This article shares what we understand about the many ways research is used in education, why educators may use research, and under what…

Nichols, Sharon L.; Berliner, David C. – Educational Psychologist, 2023
In this essay we begin with a discussion of what we call the "great gap" between our research and its influence on society. We point out that although there is ample evidence speaking to these areas, a lack of societal change suggests that evidence has largely gone unnoticed, ignored, or not well promoted or disseminated. Throughout this…

Paul Howard-Jones; Bethany Woollacott; Camilla Gilmore – Journal of Education for Teaching: International Research and Pedagogy, 2025
We consider what is known about the potential internal processes involved when educators come to use research findings in their classroom practice. We undertook a conceptual review drawing on a range of disciplines, with findings ultimately categorised under six phases regarding research uptake and implementation. This categorisation provides a…

Wonsavage, F. Paul – Mathematics Teacher Educator, 2023
In this article, I share a design-based research intervention meant to help mathematics district leaders build their capacity to engage with research quality. I present my design (i.e., principles, key features, and intervention structure) and elaborate on how the features of the design allowed for mathematics district leaders' sensemaking of…

Yamashiro, Kyo; Wentworth, Laura; Kim, Moonhawk – Educational Policy, 2023
The challenges of transforming our educational systems to fulfill enduring needs for equity, justice, and responsiveness will take a multitude of partners. Research-practice partnerships (RPPs) arrange collaboration and engagement with research to bring about shared commitments and resources to tackle these challenges. Just as sociocultural and…

Ken Hyland; Feng (Kevin) Jiang – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2024
The evaluation of research to allocate government funding to universities is now common across the globe. "The Research Excellence Framework," introduced in the UK in 2014, marked a major change by extending assessment beyond the 'quality' of published research to include its real-world 'impact'. Impact submissions were a key determinant…

The question of how education research can be 'useful' is an enduring and challenging one. In recent years, this question has been approached by universities through a widespread 'impact' agenda. In this article, we explore the tensions between usefulness and impact and present six stories that reflect on research use with communities. These…

Rickinson, Mark; Cirkony, Connie; Walsh, Lucas; Gleeson, Joanne; Cutler, Blake; Salisbury, Mandy – Educational Research, 2022
Background: There are growing expectations internationally that schools and systems will use research evidence to inform their improvement efforts. Such developments raise important questions about what it means to use research evidence "well" in education. Purpose: To date, there has been wide-ranging debate about what counts as quality…

Koichu, Boris; Aguilar, Mario Sánchez; Misfeldt, Morten – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2021
Implementation has always been a paramount concern of mathematics education, but only recently has the conceptualizing and theorizing work on implementation as a phenomenon begun in our field. In this survey paper, we conduct a hermeneutic review of mathematics education research identified as related to the implementation problematics. The first…

Stevenson, Isobel; Lemons, Richard W. – Phi Delta Kappan, 2021
The relationship between research and practice in K-12 is complicated and fraught. Research publications are unlikely to become more "user-friendly," and teachers are unlikely to change their practice quickly or more willingly -- nor should they. Recognize that reality, Isobel Stevenson and Richard Lemons explain that schools need to…

Wahlgren, Bjarne; Aarkrog, Vibe – Educational Action Research, 2021
This article describes how research-based knowledge was used in practice in an action research project which examined student dropout. The research was conducted as 'research circles' and involved systematic and organised cooperation between researchers and practitioners, in this case college teachers. Based on interviews with the teachers, we…

Conaway, Carrie – Phi Delta Kappan, 2021
State education agencies play critically important roles in promoting research use in education. They influence policy design and implementation, collect data about schools and districts, and can use their statewide reach to advance research use within the state agency and in districts. As Carrie Conaway explains, the states that have done the…
