The Access to Research Resources for Teachers (ARRT) Space is an educational research database making relevant publications available to educational professionals "at the touch of a button". The database has been developed to promote evidence informed practice and policy-making in education and encourage a partnership between the local educational research community and teachers. It also provides opportunities for teachers and other educational professionals across the world to access a large range of scholarly literature on Education in Northern Ireland and to find research that is relevant to their needs.
