The Manitoba Educational Research Network (the MERN)
Found in 2002 Since 2003
Twenty Fora Three journals One monograph Website
To connect the government, academics, practitioners

A preliminary research before studying effectiveness of the organization
To identify What the MERN is. What resource, presented in the fora, could be provided.

The position of the MERN Not a think tank, but containing similarities of the think tank
A unique type of research network A place to share educational information, not to consult policies
![Page 24: Exploring the MERN fora :](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56814fe3550346895dbdacfd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Achievement Providing “the meeting place” Well balanced research target area Research in the priority subjects of the department of education
Accommodating various affiliated groups.
![Page 25: Exploring the MERN fora :](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56814fe3550346895dbdacfd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Challenges Providing better quality research▪ Creating the environment for follow-up research▪ Long-term plans
▪ Balancing of research types and subjects▪ Increasing the possibility of utilizing the research
Offering better access to the research ▪ Providing detail research information through online and offline (present: only 47% accessible)
Building structured data base
![Page 26: Exploring the MERN fora :](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56814fe3550346895dbdacfd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Limitations Analyze within accessible research data
Mainly research title and abstract were criteria to classify research.
Further research suggestions Surveys Measuring effectiveness
![Page 27: Exploring the MERN fora :](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56814fe3550346895dbdacfd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The MERN, a network For the government▪ Promoting their policy plans▪ Obtaining feedbacks
For schools and school division▪ Sharing information with similar groups▪ Appeal the opinions to other groups
For Academia▪ Obtaining practical feedbacks▪ Reducing the gap between research and practice▪ Getting the research topic idea
Two ways of future choices for the MERN Horizontal improvement as a network Vertical improvement as a think tank
