Abstract
Evidence-based practice (EBP) has gained momentum in recent years as an approach to enhance the quality and effectiveness of decision-making across different fields, including healthcare, social work, and education. In the educational context, EBP refers to the integration of the best available evidence from research, combined with the expertise and values of practitioners and the context of the students and the school. The adoption of EBP in education has the potential to improve teaching and learning outcomes, and to promote equity and social justice in education. The use of EBP in educational research involves the systematic review and synthesis of existing evidence, the design and implementation of research studies based on rigorous methods and standards, and the dissemination and implementation of findings into practice. Examples of educational research areas where EBP has been applied include early childhood education, literacy instruction, teacher professional development, and special education. While the application of EBP in educational research is still emerging, it has the potential to contribute to the development of a more systematic, rigorous, and transparent research agenda in education. However, there are also challenges to the adoption of EBP in education, including the need for more collaboration between researchers and practitioners, the integration of diverse sources of evidence, and the translation of research findings into practice. The integration of EBP in educational research has the potential to improve the quality and effectiveness of teaching and learning outcomes. However, the adoption of EBP in education requires a critical reflection on the challenges and opportunities of this approach, and a commitment to collaboration, transparency, and ethical conduct in research.
