This article discusses conceptual frameworks in neurology education research. We provide practical case examples highlighting the conceptual framework development process for different research scenarios in neurology education. We explore the steps that shape the conceptual framework process, including defining the educational problem, exploring the scholarly conversation on the topic of study through understanding the literature and outlining its gaps, constructing research questions, selecting the theoretical frameworks that underpin the study, and choosing the appropriate methodology and methods for the research questions. We argue that having a clear conceptual framework is fundamental to a rigorous education research study.
本文讨论神经学教育研究中的概念框架。我们提供实际案例，突出神经学教育中不同研究场景下概念框架的开发过程。我们探讨塑造概念框架过程的步骤，包括界定教育问题、通过理解文献并概述其空白来探索关于研究主题的学术讨论、构建研究问题、选择支撑研究的理论框架，以及为研究问题选择合适的方法论和方法。我们认为，拥有清晰的概念框架对于严谨的教育研究至关重要。
