Collaborated approaches to education research

These education research news articles aim to bring current education research to practicing teachers, recognising that engagement with research can be challenging for practitioners. Often teachers are battling the daily challenges of the classroom and lack the time and expertise required to apply research in their own context.

In this report, Deborah Herrington and Patrick Daubenmire discuss the limited impact research has had on classroom practice in the US over recent decades and provide food for thought for teachers and those who train them across the globe.

David Read summarieses and reviews the report.
