I came across an article from Amanda Cooper and her colleagues in the Journal of Educational Change that looks at the issue of what they call ‘knowledge mobilization’ in the education field.
The paper gives an interesting overview of the issues surrounding the role of evidence in education, and considers what needs to happen to improve things. Whilst recognizing that policy will never be determined by evidence alone, the authors identify three priorities:
1. Organise and disseminate research output in ways that encourage practitioners to engage with it;
2. Encourage organisations that produce research to get more actively involved in knowledge mobilization;
3. Provide practitioners and the institutions in which they work with the resources that would enable them to find, share, understand and use research.
For those of you wanting to use the paper for purely personal research purposes, I found a pdf version here.
