Using Research Well in Australian Schools: Q Discussion Paper 02

The Q Project is a 5-year partnership between Monash University and the Paul Ramsay Foundation to improve the use of research in Australian schools. Drawing on survey and interview responses from nearly 500 Australian educators, this Discussion Paper shares insights about what educators believe is involved in using research well in practice. It builds on the Q Project’s earlier Quality Use of Research Evidence (QURE) Framework (Rickinson et al., 2020a, 2020b), but moves the conversation from the conceptual (i.e., What does quality use mean?) to the practical (i.e., What does quality use look like in practice?).
