OECD POLICY PAPER

How can research and initial teacher education institutions support research use?

New OECD data reveals a gap in initial teacher education (ITE): many teachers aren't trained to critically engage with research.

This matters, because effective teaching relies on every teacher’s ability to:

- reflect on their own practice
- identify and interpret research
- use evidence to improve their methods.

What can ITE institutions and governments do to strengthen teachers’ research engagement skills?
