Research reflection guide worksheet

This worksheet helps you to reflect on a piece of research. The research you choose to reflect on should be about a particular education policy, program or practice (that is, an approach) that you may be considering using in your school, service or classroom.

This worksheet is designed for reflecting on primary studies, which are individual studies reporting on data collected and analysed by the researchers themselves. It isn’t designed for reflecting on research that summarises a body of evidence (for example, a literature review).

If you’re an educator or teacher, using this resource to reflect on research can help you to make decisions about your practice. If you’re a leader, you can use this resource to support your team to engage with evidence as part of their ongoing professional development.
