Not all research evidence will be relevant to a particular educational context. Some research evidence may have been generated in a different type of community, school or service, or with a different group of students or children.
This practice resource is designed to help teachers, educators and leaders reflect on and decide whether a piece of evidence is relevant to their context and whether the corresponding approach is likely to be effective in their school, service or learning environment.
It’s designed to complement the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO)’s series of practice guides and other resources for helping teachers, educators and leaders use research evidence to strengthen decisions about their practice.
