Using research well as a system: Q Discussion Paper

The Monash Q Project is a 5-year partnership between Monash University and the Paul Ramsay Foundation to understand and improve the use of research in Australian schools. It has a specific focus on the idea of quality use of research (or using research well). This Discussion Paper examines how using research well can be supported at the system level. Drawing on survey, interview and co-design responses from Australian educators and system actors, it identifies six system enablers of using research well that cut across three different system levels – actions that support educators as individuals, schools as organisations, and system actors as leaders. The full report and 2-page executive summary are attached.
