New reporting standards for educational research are here. The CheckList Of Standards of reporting in Education Research (CLOSER) and Checklist for Intervention Description of Education Research (CIDER) enhance clarity and replicability.
Area of Science:
- Educational Research
- Intervention Science
- Research Methodology
Background:
- Existing reporting standards are inadequate for the complexity of educational interventions and diverse contexts.
- Health intervention and randomized controlled trial standards do not fully meet the needs of educational research.
- A critical need exists for tailored tools to improve the reporting and evaluation of educational interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and refine comprehensive reporting checklists specifically for educational intervention research.
- To enhance the clarity, replicability, and translation of educational research findings into practice and policy.
Main Methods:
- Development of two checklists: CheckList Of Standards of reporting in Education Research (CLOSER) and Checklist for Intervention Description of Education Research (CIDER).
- A five-stage refinement process including tool adaptation, expert feedback, and a modified Delphi consensus survey.
- Final checklists comprise 34 items (CLOSER) and 17 items (CIDER).
Main Results:
- Successful development and refinement of CLOSER and CIDER checklists.
- CLOSER provides comprehensive reporting guidance for quantitative educational intervention studies.
- CIDER details specific features of educational interventions.
Conclusions:
- CLOSER and CIDER address the gap in educational research reporting standards.
- These checklists will improve the clarity and consistency of reporting educational interventions.
- Enhanced reporting facilitates the translation of research into educational practice and policy.
