Abstract

This document reports on a Monash University study, undertaken with the Victorian Department of Education and Training (DET), into the use of evidence in education policy–making. The findings are based on in–depth interviews with 25 DET staff who were involved in the development of three selected policies, coupled with documentary analysis and (where possible) observations of policy development
in process. Emerging findings were shared with 40 DET staff at an interim verification workshop during the project.
