<\/p>\n

What Works in Education?<\/strong> is an initiative to collect and disseminate what we know about the effectiveness of educational interventions, in order to inform decision-making processes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The initiative aims to: <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

– Collect, review and summarise the most rigorous evidence available on the functioning and effectiveness of educational interventions around the world. To this end, we publish three evidence reviews<\/strong> per year. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

– Make evidence accessible to the stakeholders. We organise seminars<\/strong> with experts and stakeholders directly involved to the topics examined, in order to link evidence to the specific circumstances of Catalonia and identify policy implications.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

– Place the evidence in the public arena. We organise forums open to the whole education community<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Iv\u00e0lua<\/a> <\/strong>and the Jaume Bofill Foundation<\/strong> joined forces to set up the project What<\/strong> works<\/strong> in <\/strong>Education<\/strong>? <\/em><\/strong>to advance teaching practice in Catalonia.<\/p>\n
