The Use of Evidence for Policy Making in Education
Save the date: 24 September 2024
Location: Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the Netherlands (www.vu.nl)
The use of research evidence in education has become an important theme in school improvement efforts across the globe. In various countries, national organisations are set up to support schools in using evidence to improve the teaching in the classroom. An area that is however much less developed is the use of evidence for policy making. Given the variation in national education systems, the use of research evidence for the improvement of teaching and learning is likely much less straightforward compared to evidence about interventions in the classroom. What works in some countries may not lead to the same positive outcomes in other countries.
This regional conference will bring together policymakers, practitioners and academics to explore this challenge and consider potential solutions, framed around the question of: How can the use of research evidence be promoted and enhanced in policy making in education?
Hosted by: Melanie Ehren and Paul Campbell, in collaboration with the 3P Network (co-coordinators Sara Romiti and Anton Florek)
