Using evidence-based practices (EBPs), and using them well, is a critical way to improve student outcomes. Evidence-based practices are educational approaches that are backed up by research evidence.
The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) conducted an online survey and a series of interviews as part of a project commissioned by the AERO. The survey and interviews were focused on students in Years 7 to 9 who lack the foundational literacy and numeracy skills that are required to engage with a secondary curriculum.
The review was administered by the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) and conducted by the Centre for International Research on Education Systems (CIRES) at Victoria University.
By examining literacy and numeracy results across assessments, we can better understand the performance of Australian students over time; we can pinpoint areas of national strength and weakness and improve Australia’s educational outcomes.
This national snapshot presents findings on the current use of evidence by teachers and leaders in Australian schools. We examine attitudes towards evidence, and challenges and enablers in using evidence.
