Enhancing Research Awareness in Education: Historical revolutions, Challenges, Strategies, and Future Directions

Abstract

Research awareness is crucial for implementing evidence-based practices and advancing educational outcomes. The present paper traces the historical evolution of research awareness from early manuscript exchanges to contemporary digital platforms. It also identifies current challenges faced in research, including limited access to research, time constraints of teachers, varying levels of research literacy, and difficulties in implementing research findings in practice. The present paper reviews historical evolution, theoretical frameworks, and recent studies to provide a detailed understanding of how increasing research awareness can advance educational practices. Key recommendations include incorporating research literacy into professional development programs, establishing research-practice partnerships, and accelerating access to research resources through open access and digital platforms. By addressing these areas, the paper aims to notify strategies to overcome barriers to effective research use and promote a culture of continuous learning and improvement in education.
