It can help you think about \u2018What might work\u2019, \u2018What\u2019s going on?\u2019, \u2018Why am I doing this?\u2019 and to consider \u2018What if?\u2019, \u2018What else? and \u2018What could be\u2026?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays it is becoming easier than ever for teachers to access research. Research summaries are freely available online and you can follow with researchers and research organisations all over the world using social media. Research is produced by academics, by teachers, by schools, by charities and other organisations, and by combinations of these. Many people and organisations promote connections between research and teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But with so much information available and so little time, engaging with research can also be confusing and frustrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to find sources that will be useful, interesting and inspiring? How to judge what is worth investigating? How to make sense of research?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This resource provides starting points for navigating the maze of sources available and making sense of research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-63b02e9e1d32884011a65c37c1f3a47d\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.shu.ac.uk\/researchconversations\/2024\/02\/08\/how-to-use-the-resources\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"492\"><strong>How to use the resources<\/strong><\/a><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Some suggestions for how you can use the resources, either separately or together, to engage with research<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0f030d3375f056915fe89b260f636ddb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.shu.ac.uk\/researchconversations\/2024\/02\/08\/underpinning-research\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"299\"><strong>Underpinning Research<\/strong><\/a><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>A brief summary of our research project findings<em> <\/em>that resulted in these resources <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cff9ba73e9c92bf121ff6cfd2ead2aea\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.shu.ac.uk\/researchconversations\/2024\/02\/08\/how-they-were-put-together\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"301\"><strong>How they were Put Together<\/strong><\/a><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>An introduction to the resource co-production process, motivations, and the team of teachers and researchers <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4e89e9a3abe237591ac163cb1a306b92\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.shu.ac.uk\/researchconversations\/2024\/02\/08\/underpinning-principles\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"303\"><strong>Underpinning principles<\/strong><\/a><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>An overview of the ideas about teaching and research that inform these resources <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-640db78af22068eeca4c1eb79fcd5b43\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.shu.ac.uk\/researchconversations\/2024\/02\/08\/acknowledgements\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"591\"><strong>Acknowledgements<\/strong><\/a><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>The people whose inspiration, contribution and feedback helped us put together the resources<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-589a145db20b206329908f31a76ee842\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.shu.ac.uk\/researchconversations\/2024\/02\/08\/about-research-mobilities-project\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"599\"><strong>About Research Mobilities project<\/strong><\/a><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Some links to follow for more information about our project<em> Research Mobilities in Primary Literacy Education<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A guide to teachers&#8217; engagement with research Connecting with research can be inspiring and empowering.
