Science teachers often want to engage with research but face real barriers — limited time, paywalled journals, and uncertainty about what to trust. In this hands-on session, we introduce a new toolkit developed collaboratively by the University of Southampton, King's College London, and the Association for Science Education. Drawing on a national study involving teachers, teacher educators, and subject experts across all four UK nations, the toolkit offers six flexible approaches to help science teachers find, evaluate, and use education research in practical, manageable ways. Participants will work through selected activities, including reflecting on their own research use and critically evaluating research claims for classroom application.
