“…Three categories of recommendations emerge from the literature: (a) the need for step-by-step procedures for interpreting research and implementing it in the (Gersten et al, 1995;Lovitt & Higgins, 1996), (b) suggestions for accomplishing major educational reform (Biles, Billups, & Veitch, 1983;Eaker & Huffman, 1984;Fenstermacher, 1987), and (c) the need for teachers to change their attitudes toward research (Castle, 1988;Evertson, 1987;Griffin & Barnes, 1986;Lange, 1994;Red & Shainline, 1987; see Table 3). Educators often are intelligent consumers of research knowl-edge (Jaquez, 1989); but the underlying message in all of the literature is that if research is to be accepted and used, it should be presented and interpreted in a manner that is meaningful, easy to apply, and interesting.…”

The greatest impact of research stems from clearly communicating research findings to policymakers and practitioners. Chart essays are an effective communication technique for this purpose. They (a) link specific research questions to real policy decisions and practical applications and (b) arrange the answer to each question in a chart that highlights actual research data gathered in the field. A study on extracurricular activities is used to illustrate how this technique translates the methods-oriented report into a form that can be readily understood and implemented by practitioners and policymakers.
