The purpose of this systematic review is to describe the state of the art of sequential multiple-assignment randomized trials in education research. An iterative, systematic search strategy yielded thirteen reports for synthesis. We coded eligible reports for study characteristics, population, intervention, outcomes, SMART design components, overall findings, and study quality. Of the thirteen included reports, nine were completed studies at either the full or the pilot design stage, and four were published protocols. All studies measured educational and/or psychosocial outcomes, few studies included measures of achievement, and studies were primarily conducted outside of the classroom setting. We evaluate the current uses of SMARTs in education research and discuss the promise of this design and how it is well-suited for the dynamic nature of education research, diverse student populations, and the field of educational research.

本系统评价的目的是描述教育研究中顺序多重分配随机试验的最新技术。一种迭代的、系统的搜索策略产生了 13 份综合报告。我们对研究特征、人群、干预、结果、SMART 设计组件、总体结果和研究质量的合格报告进行了编码。在纳入的 13 份报告中，有 9 份是在完整或试点设计阶段完成的研究，4 份是已发表的方案。所有研究都测量了教育和/或社会心理结果，很少有研究包括成就测量，并且研究主要在课堂之外进行。
