Checklists for the Common Guidelines for Education Research and Development

Collection Description:
This collection, developed by EvaluATE: Evaluation Resource Center for Advanced Technological Education, includes checklists that cover the six types of research discussed in the Common Guidelines for Education Research and Development, created by the Institute of Education Sciences at the U.S. Department of Education and the National Science Foundation. The Guidelines describe those agencies' shared expectations for education research and development. "The checklists are intended to support use of the Guidelines, enabling users to quickly reference a type of research and determine whether they are following guideline's expectations." The areas of research covered include Foundational Research, Early-Stage or Exploratory Research, Design and Development Research, Efficacy Research, and Scale-Up Research. 

Collection Contents:
This collection includes a 15-page document that includes checklists for all six types of research, a document for each individual area of research, and a graphic overview of the Common Guidelines.
