为了监控和评估项目的成功，并为教师提供一个可以支持他们在教学实践中转型的工具，我们需要一个有效且有效的协议来衡量基于探究的教学的数量和质量。现有协议虽然有用，但要么过于通用，要么过于特定于程序。因此，我们开发了电子质量查询协议 (EQUIP)。本手稿探讨了 EQUIP 创建和验证的 2 年开发周期。该协议经过多次迭代演变，并得到有效性检查和验证性因素分析的支持。高度的内部一致性和可靠的参与者间协议进一步支持了该协议的优势。由此产生的协议评估了与四个结构相一致的 19 项指标：教学、课程、评估和话语。对于教师来说，EQUIP 提供了一个框架，使他们的教学实践在努力提高探究性教学的数量和质量时更加有目的性。对于研究人员来说，EQUIP 提供了一种工具来分析正在实施的探究的数量和质量，这有助于评估专业发展项目。
To monitor and evaluate program success and to provide teachers with a tool that could support their transformation in teaching practice, we needed an effective and valid protocol to measure the quantity and quality of inquiry-based instruction being led. Existing protocols, though helpful, were either too generic or too program specific. Consequently, we developed the Electronic Quality of Inquiry Protocol (EQUIP). This manuscript examines the 2-year development cycle for the creation and validation of EQUIP. The protocol evolved over several iterations and was supported by validity checks and confirmatory factor analysis. The protocol’s strength is further supported by high internal consistency and solid interrater agreement. The resulting protocol assesses 19 indicators aligned with four constructs: instruction, curriculum, assessment, and discourse. For teachers, EQUIP provides a framework to make their instructional practice more intentional as they strive to increase the quantity and quality of inquiry instruction. For researchers, EQUIP provides an instrument to analyze the quantity and quality of inquiry being implemented, which can be beneficial in evaluating professional development projects.
