Research syntheses promote the transfer of scientific knowledge into practice by bridging the gap between educational research and educational practice. They not only provide an overview but also offer decision-making foundations. As a result, they facilitate access to educational research for teachers, schools, parents, administrators, and policymakers.
Our working group ForSynZIB – Research Syntheses in Learning and Instruction at the Centre for International Student Assessment (ZIB), is part of the Professorship for Research on Learning and Instruction at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). We regularly produce research syntheses on relevant topics in educational research.
