How I tackled misconceptions

Education research inspired me to improve my scheme of work for structure and bonding

I believe education research is very valuable for informing teaching and learning, but only once applied in context by teachers. Lack of time, access to literature and readability of research are barriers to applying research for many practitioners. But open-access sources, educational research organisations and social media networks are helping to bridge the gap between research and application.
