在最近一项关于医学教育实验研究报告质量的研究中，所检查的文章中只有不到一半明确阐述了所使用的概念框架。概念框架代表思考问题或研究的方式，或表示复杂事物如何工作的方式。它们可以来自理论、模型或最佳实践。概念框架阐明和放大一个人的工作。不同的框架将强调不同的变量和结果，以及它们之间的相互关系。教育工作者和研究人员经常使用概念框架来指导他们的工作，即使他们自己没有意识到的framework.Three概念框架可以用来铸造医学教育的发展和研究项目的例子。这些例子附有评论，以及关于概念框架的性质和使用的共13个要点。最终，学者有责任明确他们在发展和研究项目中使用的概念框架所包含的假设和原则。
In a recent study of the quality of reporting experimental studies in medical education, barely half the articles examined contained an explicit statement of the conceptual framework used. Conceptual frameworks represent ways of thinking about a problem or a study, or ways of representing how complex things work. They can come from theories, models or best practices. Conceptual frameworks illuminate and magnify one's work. Different frameworks will emphasise different variables and outcomes, and their inter-relatedness. Educators and researchers constantly use conceptual frameworks to guide their work, even if they themselves are not consciously aware of the frameworks.Three examples are provided on how conceptual frameworks can be used to cast development and research projects in medical education. The examples are accompanied by commentaries and a total of 13 key points about the nature and use of conceptual frameworks.Ultimately, scholars are responsible for making explicit the assumptions and principles contained in the conceptual framework(s) they use in their development and research projects.
