#172 Research in Action 20: How teachers use (and don't use) research with Paul Howard-Jones

Paul Howard-Jones joins me to discuss how and why teachers use (and don't use) research to inform their teaching.

This is part of my Research in Action mini-series, where I interview a researcher from the Mathematics Education Centre at Loughborough University about their chosen area of interest, and the implications for maths teaching and learning.
