Research Informed Practice Digests offer easy access to essential research findings for teachers, governors, parents and all those who support them in the education of school age students.
The digests are mostly based on research published in research journals, this is because publication there means studies have already been scrutinised for academic rigour. We also appraise the studies to ensure that they provide strong evidence directly relevant to practice in schools and we check that the authors of the original study believe that the digest presents a faithful picture of their work.
The digests summarise the research with practitioners in mind and do this by:
- using plain language and clear illustrations;
- allowing readers to move simply between different ideas and digests according to their interests; and
- looking at some of the implications for practitioners that arise from the practical questions posed in the digests.
