As medical educators strive to adopt an evidence-based, outcomes-driven approach to teaching, education research in emergency medicine (EM) is burgeoning. Many educational challenges prompt specific research questions that are well suited to investigative study, but educators face numerous barriers to translating exciting ideas into research publications. This primer, intended for educators in EM, provides a brief overview of the current scope and essential elements of education research. We present an approach to identifying research problems and conceptual frameworks and defining specific research questions. A common approach to curricular development is reviewed, as well as a fundamental overview of qualitative and quantitative methods that can be applied to educational research questions. Finally, suggestions for disseminating results and overcoming common barriers to conducting research are discussed.
随着医学教育工作者努力采用基于证据、以结果为导向的教学方法，急诊医学（EM）的教育研究也在蓬勃发展。许多教育挑战引发了特定的研究问题，这些问题非常适合调查研究，但教育工作者在将激动人心的想法转化为研究出版物方面面临着许多障碍。本指南面向急诊医学教育工作者，简要概述了教育研究的当前范围和基本要素。我们提出了一种识别研究问题和概念框架以及定义具体研究问题的方法。还回顾了一种常见的课程开发方法，以及可应用于教育研究问题的定性和定量方法的基本概述。最后，讨论了传播研究结果和克服开展研究常见障碍的建议。
