In recent years, educational development centers (EDCs) have evolved among universities from a marginal to a strategic aspect. The present study aimed to achieve an applicable task description at two levels of basic and quality improvement for EDCs and educational development offices (EDOs).
This research used the triangulation method. Initially, the current condition of EDCs across the country was evaluated with an electronic questionnaire in 2019. In the second phase, the modified Delphi method was used in two rounds with purposive sampling and a researcher-made questionnaire. The research participants were from all of the country. In the RAND technique, an electronic questionnaire was sent to 14 experts in medical education. After the analysis, the results were discussed, and the questions were answered again. We determined frequency and used content analysis.
The task descriptions containing basic and quality improvement have been developed in three main sections: Organizational communication of EDCs and EDOs for policymaking; organizational structures, organizational charts, and the budget of EDCs and EDOs; and developmental roles of EDCs and EDOs (curriculum policies, curriculum development, blended learning, community-oriented), faculty development, evaluation (student assessment, faculty evaluation, program evaluation, accreditation), research (educational research, educational scholarship, innovative educational designs, events), and students (student committee, talented students).
The task description guidelines have been prepared with 68 articles in basic and quality improvement and three main sections, including organizational communication of the EDCs and EDOs, organizational structures, the budget of the EDCs and EDOs, and their development roles.
近年来，教育发展中心（EDC）在大学中已从边缘地位发展到具有战略意义。本研究旨在为教育发展中心和教育发展办公室（EDO）制定基础和质量提升两个层面适用的任务描述。
本研究采用三角测量法。首先，2019年通过电子问卷对全国范围内教育发展中心的现状进行了评估。在第二阶段，采用改进的德尔菲法，分两轮进行，采用目的抽样和研究者自编问卷。研究参与者来自全国各地。在兰德技术中，向14位医学教育专家发送了电子问卷。分析后，对结果进行了讨论，并再次回答了问题。我们确定了频率并采用了内容分析法。
已在三个主要部分制定了包含基础和质量提升的任务描述：教育发展中心和教育发展办公室在政策制定方面的组织沟通；教育发展中心和教育发展办公室的组织结构、组织架构及预算；以及教育发展中心和教育发展办公室的发展作用（课程政策、课程开发、混合学习、面向社区）、教师发展、评估（学生评估、教师评估、项目评估、认证）、研究（教育研究、教育学术、创新教育设计、活动）和学生（学生委员会、优秀学生）。
已制定任务描述指南，涵盖基础和质量提升方面的68条内容以及三个主要部分，包括教育发展中心和教育发展办公室的组织沟通、组织结构、预算及其发展作用。
