A workshop was held on 13th November 2014 at Pearson in London, on the practicalities of using research evidence. A mix of practitioners from FE, adult education and offender learning shared their experiences of using evidence with each other and with people from sector bodies. Together they identified key messages for practitioners, researchers and policymakers aimed at encouraging greater use of research evidence to inform practice.
Here are links to the main outputs of the day :
- Messages from workshop
- A short article about the messages published in FE Week
- A short blog about the main messages published by NFER
