Abstract
Research-informed educational policy goes beyond merely applying scientific findings; it reflects a dynamic process where evidence guides practice, and learners actively shape their own learning paths. Exploring how individuals learn is a key component of research-informed policy, as it enables the development of educational strategies that align with learners’ evolving needs and interests. Applying techniques to reach set goals represents just one dimension of educational practice. Equally important are the deeper questions concerning the ethical, social, and political implications of these approaches, and how their effectiveness may vary depending on the specific educational context in which they are applied (Eryaman, 2006). When educational plans and strategies fail to reflect the specific context or discipline, they often fall short in practice. As Rosen (1993, 2003) argues, education is not static; it evolves through ongoing reflection on prior research and purposeful adaptation to new realities.
