A behavioural approach to understanding and encouraging quality use of research evidence in Australian schools: Final report

The Monash Q Project aims to improve the use of research evidence in Australian schools. BehaviourWorks Australia has been collaborating with the Q team to bring a behavioural lens to this emphasis on quality use of research evidence (QURE). 

This report shares a summary of the research methods used and the behavioural insights generated during this collaboration, including:

• Methods of behaviour identification, behaviour prioritisation, and understanding barriers and facilitators.
• Insights into what QURE might look like as a series of observable actions, key barriers and facilitators to QURE practices, and suggestions for supporting these practices.
• Next steps and further research.
