Abstract

In educational research, the complexity of interventions and the diversity of contexts challenge the adequacy of existing reporting standards, primarily tailored for health interventions and randomised controlled trials. Recognising the critical need for appropriate tools to support education research, we developed two checklists: the CheckList Of Standards of reporting in Education Research (CLOSER) and the Checklist for Intervention Description of Education Research (CIDER). CLOSER was designed to guide the comprehensive reporting of quantitative educational intervention research from the abstract to the discussion for multiple study designs. Concurrently, CIDER details the precise features of educational interventions. The final refinements of CLOSER and CIDER comprise of 34 and 17 items, respectively, developed through a five-stage process, including tool adaptation, expert feedback, a 2-round modified Delphi consensus survey, and final refinements. These checklists aim to enhance the clarity of educational intervention research findings, facilitating their replicability and subsequent meaningful translation into practice and policy. This addresses the gap in educational research reporting standards and sets the stage for a more robust, evidence-informed approach to educational intervention development and evaluation.

改进定量教育干预研究的报告标准：引入CLOSER和CIDER清单。

在教育研究方面，干预措施的复杂性和背景的多样性对现有报告标准的充分性提出了挑战，这些标准主要是为卫生干预措施和随机对照试验量身定制的。认识到对支持教育研究的适当工具的迫切需要，我们制定了两个清单：教育研究报告标准清单（CLOSER）和教育研究干预描述清单（CIDER）。CLOSER旨在指导定量教育干预研究的综合报告，从摘要到多研究设计的讨论。同时，CIDER详细说明了教育干预的确切特征。CLOSER和CIDER的最终改进分别由34个和17个项目组成，通过五个阶段的过程开发，包括工具适应、专家反馈、两轮修改的德尔菲共识调查和最终改进。这些清单旨在提高教育干预研究成果的清晰度，促进其可复制性，并随后有意义地转化为实践和政策。这解决了教育研究报告标准的差距，并为更有力、更有证据依据的教育干预发展和评估方法奠定了基础。补充信息：在线版本包含补充信息，获取地址：10.1007/s44322-024-00022-9。
