- Summary:
-
In response to a recommendation that the Office of Educational Research and Development (OERI) adopt consensus panels such as those used by the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration, this paper tries to represent the range of consensus panel applications and to identify the major considerations for OERI application. A pyramid of consensus strategies is possible, with a broad base of many systematic decision-making strategies (such as group discussions or syntheses of reviewer comments) and a top point with a few model consensus panel approaches that require extensive participant agreement and rigorous examination of the evidence. It is noted that there is merit in the recommendation to use consensus development processes, but it is recommended that OERI try the consensus panel strategy of the National Academy of Science report only on a trial basis because effective features of consensus panels in health research probably cannot be transferred to educational research and practice. Strengths and weaknesses of consensus strategies in general and of specific strategies are discussed. Seven appendixes consider methodology and various types of consensus approach, and provide supplemental information. Four attachments provide additional details. (Contains 133 references in Appendix 3.) (SLD)
