Research Method · All research methods
Evidence · no claims cited

Description

Table 1 outlines the evidence base and evaluation approaches employed to test an EdTech product (rows: conceptual, qualitative, quantitative, validation) crossed with quality assurance aspects (columns: methodological quality, outcome strength/predictive value, generalizability, ethics and transparency), each cell marked for rating. The authors note criteria can differ by method type, e.g. methodological quality criteria for conceptual studies can differ from generalisability criteria in quantitative or qualitative studies.

Accounts

  • EVER's Table 1 matrix of four evaluation approaches by four quality assurance aspects: Table 1 outlines the evidence base and evaluation approaches employed to test an EdTech product (rows: conceptual, qualitative, quantitative, validation) crossed with quality assurance aspects (columns: methodological quality, outcome strength/predictive value, generalizability, ethics and transparency), each cell marked for rating.
