The Q Project is a five-year partnership between Monash University and the Paul Ramsay Foundation to understand and improve the quality use of research evidence in Australian schools.

It involves close collaboration with teachers, school leaders, policy-makers, researchers, research brokers and other key stakeholders across Australia.

The Q Project seeks to support educators to use research evidence better to improve teaching and learning. To learn more, visit their website or join them on Twitter @MonashQProject.

The session is interactive, asking participants for their reflections on the findings presented, suggesting challenges to be addressed and possible growth opportunities and resources.

Using evidence to inform education improvement is not enough. We need to be using evidence well.

However, what does it mean to use evidence well? What does it look like in practice? In addition, how can we enable and support it? Drawing on the work of the Monash Q Project, this session will introduce the Quality Use of Research Evidence Framework, and share insights from nearly 500 educators on Using Research Well in Australian Schools. A key aim of the session will be to stimulate reflection about our current evidence use practices and future improvement opportunities.

Presenters: Project Director, Associate Professor Mark Rickinson, and Senior Research Fellow Dr. Jo Gleeson
