The aim of this first Research Matters session of 2014 is to consider the ways in which we can optimise the influence of MIE research on society, the economy, culture, public policy or services, health, the environment and/or quality of life. Our starting point will be the four impact case studies produced for REF 2014: (i) The impact of research on government policy regarding SEAL and AfA (NH); (ii) Assessment tools and the impact on learners’ ‘understanding and use’ of mathematics in schools, colleges and higher education (JW); (iii) Changing education policy and practice through challenging the link between social and educational disadvantage (AD); and, (iv) Changing public policy and professional practice through researching equity within schools and education systems (MA). Each case study author will talk briefly about the research itself, the pathways to impact, and the nature of the impact achieved. This will be followed by an open discussion about how we can maximize the impact of our research as we move forward.
