What we know already about the best ways to get evidence into use in education

This chapter summarises what little is already known about the different ways to get research evidence into use in education, and other areas of policy if there is no evidence from education. It addresses the question: What is the existing evidence on the most effective routes for getting high quality research findings into use for education policy and practice? It does so by summarising the results of a large-scale review of the published and unpublished literature.
