Namely, teachers tend to look to research in response to an immediate, pressing concern such as how to best teach fractions to English language learners (ELLs). Teachers also turn to research to address a specific content need, such as gathering information for an upcoming lesson. In terms of broader reviews of research, teachers sometimes review research they have used in the past, such as best practices for a particular topic or method. Finally, teachers may consult educational research when they participate in groups that use research findings to more broadly support their instructional practice (e.g., study groups, committees or courses on using research in the classroom).  \nKeywords: education research, teachers, best practices  \nKaren Drill has led and worked on local and national projects, including South Carolina Extended Learning, Striving Readers in the Chicago Public Schools, and the Texas Principal Excellence Program. Her primary focus has been qualitative and quantitative research within education, and has led the evaluation of three mentoring and induction programs in Illinois districts. Previously, Drill worked as the program coordinator for Northwestern University’s Center for Talent Development. She is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in educational psychology from the University of Illinois at Chicago.  \n[Emaill:](Emaill: kdrill17@gmail.com)[ ](Emaill: kdrill17@gmail.com)[kdrill17@gmail.com](Emaill: kdrill17@gmail.com)  \nShazia Miller has over 20 years of experience in evaluation, with an emphasis on high school transitions and databased decision-making in schools.

The educational research community constantly aims to produce high-quality research that pushes the boundaries of our knowledge and creates a stronger education system. The volume of literature housed in the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) database now exceeds one million articles. Linking the vast community of educational researchers is “a deep concern with the condition of children and schools”(Gardner, 2002, p. 72) .  \nHowever, in spite of the large volume, educational research has sometimes been criticized as neither useful nor influential (Burkhardt and Scho","cbCaiq94ksT9A2IE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq94ksT9A2IE","pdf",146051,15,"English","# Abstract\n## How teachers use research in specific situations\n## Reasons teachers consult broader reviews and past research\n## Professional groups that apply research findings","[{\"question\":\"What evidence does the document use to study teachers’ use of educational research?\",\"answer\":\"It is based on two studies conducted in the Chicago metropolitan area in 2009 and 2010.\"},{\"question\":\"Under what circumstances do teachers tend to look for educational research?\",\"answer\":\"Teachers seek research when they face an immediate, pressing concern (e.g., teaching fractions to English language learners) or when they need information for an upcoming lesson.\"},{\"question\":\"How do teachers use research beyond immediate instructional needs?\",\"answer\":\"They may review research they used previously for best practices or consult educational research through groups such as study groups, committees, or courses focused on using research in the classroom.\"}]","Teachers’ Perspectives on Educational Research | PDF",1792079421,38]
