There are a range of places where teachers, educators and leaders can find research evidence, but some sources are more credible than others. Knowing how to identify credible sources increases the chances of finding high-quality research evidence.
This practice guide provides information about the types of print and online resources that contain research evidence, as well as using common library and online search tools. It's the second 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.
This practice guide contains a knowledge check to test your knowledge about research evidence. You can download and print the PDF to complete it on paper or complete it online.
