Perhaps we might consider this in the Engage or Sustain phase? The set of prompts we collated are based on existing literature from a variety of fields and is by no means exhaustive in that sense. But hopefully these phases prove helpful in framing additional prompts as the literature develops.

Within each phase, we pose questions for both researchers and practitioners to reflect, emphasising the shared responsibility in maximising the potential of educational research and enhancing classroom practice.

The journey from educational research to classroom practice
We consider what is known about the potential internal processes involved when educators come to use research findings in their classroom practice. We undertook a conceptual review drawing on a ran...
