| Abstract | Since its establishment in 2002, the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) at the U.S. Department of Education has funded dozens of field-initiated efficacy and scale-up studies of interventions, released multiple evaluation studies of major policy initiatives, supported rigorous studies of programs through the Regional Educational Laboratories, and funded training grants to prepare new scholars to conduct high quality research in education. Still there is limited understanding of how educational leaders access and use research. Developing knowledge about when leaders seek out research, where leaders find it, and the purposes for which they use it is critical if education research is to inform policy and practice. To date, a key obstacle to studying research use at scale has been the absence of valid survey measures. Though a number of studies have examined uses of research through interview, observation, and case study methods, survey measures adequate for drawing inferences about how leaders use research have not been developed. This report presents results of the efforts of the National Center for Research in Policy and Practice (NCRPP) to address this need. The NCRPP is an IES-funded center focused on the study of knowledge utilization among school and district leaders in the United States. To develop an understanding of how school and district leaders use research, a survey of research use was developed and administered to a nationally representative sample of school and district leaders. The following questions were asked: (1) How frequently do school and district leaders use research and for what purposes; (2) What research do school and district leaders find useful; (3) What are leaders' attitudes toward research; and (4) Where do leaders access research? This report describes the instrument development process, the generation of the sample, the reliability of survey scales used and the ability of scales to discriminate among respondents with different types of attitudes, and the frequency distributions for responses to most items. Key conclusions and next steps are discussed. (ERIC). |
