How can researchers and initial teacher trainers foster research use?

Improving engagement with educational research is a crucial but often overlooked way to improve teaching. At the same time, research is not a key priority for many educators and policymakers. What can research organisations and initial teacher education institutions do to improve the use of research in the classroom and among policymakers?

In this webinar, we will discuss how to bridge the gaps between educational research, policy and practice.

Speakers include:

  • Katrijn Ballet, Senior Research and Team Coordinator, Department of Education and Training, Flemish Ministry of Education (Belgium)
  • Dr Giovanna Lima, Program Manager for the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA)
  • Marta Ferrero, Associate professor in the Faculty of Education and Teacher Training, Autonomous University of Madrid.
  • François Staring Analyst, Evidence Web for Education Team and the Higher Education Policy Team, Directorate for Education and Skills, OECD

Moderated by Duncan Crawford, Senior Content Manager, OECD Directorate for Education and Skills
