ABSTRACT Best Practice Principles for Impact Assessment (IA) Teaching and Training were developed for the International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA). Research conducted throughout 2018 and 2019 encompassed seven iterative steps: an initial practitioners workshop; comprehensive review of 40 years of literature on teaching IA; initial survey of teachers and trainers; follow-up interviews; development of draft set of principles; final survey of the importance of the draft principles to university teachers and professional development trainers in IA; and a final workshop at IAIA19. The resulting principles are grouped in relation to content (what is taught), pedagogy (how content is taught) and skills development. From 29 draft principles, those identified as ‘Extremely Important’ or Very Important’ (28 in total) in the final survey were included in the Principles published by IAIA. Differences in relative importance of the principles are apparent between teachers and trainers, reflecting their different teaching contexts and objectives. It is hoped that the principles can contribute to more consistent and more effective IA education, contributing in turn to improved IA practice.

建立影响评估教学和培训的国际最佳实践原则

摘要影响评估（IA）的最佳实践原则是为国际影响评估协会（IAIA）开发的。在2018年和2019年进行的研究包括七个迭代步骤：初始从业者研讨会; 对40年来有关IA教学的文献进行了全面回顾；对教师和培训师的初步调查；后续采访；制定一套原则草案；对原则草案对IA的大学教师和专业发展培训师的重要性的最终调查；以及在IAIA19举行的最后研讨会。由此产生的原理根据内容（讲授什么），教学法（讲授内容的方法）和技能发展进行了分组。从29条原则草案中，在最终调查中被确定为“非常重要”或“非常重要”（总计28个）的那些内容已纳入IAIA发布的原则中。教员之间的原则相对重要性差异显而易见，反映了他们不同的教学环境和目标。希望这些原则可以有助于更一致，更有效的IA培训，进而有助于改善IA实践。
