The overview chapter recalls the difficulties encountered on interventions in schools because there is no functioning link between research and practice workers. One of the ways was inspired by medicine – the field of evidence-based medicine.
Nevertheless, there are differences between medical and educational phenomena, and therefore the systems that collect data on educational research results must have a somewhat different character. Our interpretation focuses on collecting, processing and preserving the existing evidence, and on methods of its use in school practice.
The study also discusses the risks of the evidence-based education.
