Research at Learning and Teaching Scotland

The aim of research activity in Learning and Teaching Scotland is to facilitate and influence evidence-informed decision making that will improve learning and teaching in Scottish education.

To do this the LTS Research team will:

• undertake horizon scanning aligned to LTS business priorities – internally making use of intelligence data, externally scanning to find existing research and statistics.
• support staff to make better use of research evidence by supporting the development of a research culture.
• work with relevant external organisations to commission research/evaluation projects in line with business priorities.
• disseminate our outputs through engagement and a range of communication channels appropriate to our target audience both within and beyond LTS.
• The Research team also produce a bi-monthly digest, Research Round-Up, that collates and summarises national and international educational research and statistical reports.
