>> Everybody Cares About Using Education Research Sometimes: Perspectives of Knowledge Intermediaries

Published on 7 February 2025 Building on the insights of the first two publications in the Strengthening the Impact of Education Research series, this third and final report shifts the focus from policy makers to the field, exploring the pivotal role of knowledge intermediaries. These organisations facilitate engagement with research among policy makers and practitioners, supporting evidence-informed decision making and practices in education. Drawing on new data from 288 such organisations across 34 countries, the report delves into the ways these intermediaries bridge the gap between education research, policy and practice. It highlights their efforts to disseminate evidence, foster collaboration, and build capacity for research use, while also identifying gaps in skills and infrastructure that demonstrate the need for further professionalisation of knowledge mobilisation. By offering actionable insights for policy makers, practitioners, researchers and intermediaries, this report emphasises the importance of co-ordination, evaluative thinking, and system-level strategies to maximise the impact of education research. It serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to understand and enhance the landscape of knowledge mobilisation, ensuring that education systems are better equipped to integrate evidence into policy and practice.
