The Importance of Bidirectional Communication

Bidirectional communication between scientists and educators is crucial for evidence-based practice in education. This communication allows for a flow of information in both directions, with educators sharing real-life classroom experiences and researchers providing evidence-based knowledge. Such communication helps bridge the gap between theory and practice, enabling teachers to incorporate research findings into their daily teaching. It also ensures that researchers are aware of the practical challenges faced by educators, leading to more relevant and impactful research. By promoting bidirectional communication, educators can contribute to improving the research-practice connection in education.
