The Monash Q Project is a 5-year partnership between Monash University and the Paul Ramsay Foundation to improve the use of research in Australian schools. To improve the quality use of research in schools, we must first understand how research is currently being used. Drawing on the latest Q Survey report, ‘What, why, when and how: Australian educators’ use of research in schools’, this summary shares 1,725 educators’ insights into their current practices and use of research evidence, as well as important considerations for improving the quality use of research in schools.
