Abstract
This article focuses on a widely used method in developmental and education research in majority world countries: large-scale impact evaluations and randomized controlled trials. We build on our experience implementing such programs in majority world countries, primarily in West Africa, and reflect on our experiences to propose a set of best practices in maintaining equity and justice in collaborations between majority and minority world countries. These include prioritizing research-policy-community partnerships, promoting complementary research approaches, considering measurement timescales, and capacity exchange approaches.

本文重点介绍在多数世界国家的发展和教育研究中广泛使用的一种方法:大规模影响评估和随机对照试验。我们以在多数世界国家(主要是西非国家)实施此类项目的经验为基础,通过反思我们的经验,提出了一套在多数世界国家与少数世界国家之间的合作中维护公平与公正的最佳实践。其中包括优先考虑研究-政策-社区伙伴关系、促进互补性研究方法、考虑衡量时间尺度和能力交流方法。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)。
期刊介绍:
Developmental Psychology ® publishes articles that significantly advance knowledge and theory about development across the life span. The journal focuses on seminal empirical contributions. The journal occasionally publishes exceptionally strong scholarly reviews and theoretical or methodological articles. Studies of any aspect of psychological development are appropriate, as are studies of the biological, social, and cultural factors that affect development. The journal welcomes not only laboratory-based experimental studies but studies employing other rigorous methodologies, such as ethnographies, field research, and secondary analyses of large data sets. We especially seek submissions in new areas of inquiry and submissions that will address contradictory findings or controversies in the field as well as the generalizability of extant findings in new populations. Although most articles in this journal address human development, studies of other species are appropriate if they have important implications for human development. Submissions can consist of single manuscripts, proposed sections, or short reports.
