Hi! You can see what we're doing in this Campbell review regarding RoB. I'm a co-author but not involved in this phase of the research.
PROTOCOL: The effects of flipped classrooms to improve learning outcomes in undergraduate health professional education: A systematic review https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/cl2.1041

Other reviews from the Campbell Education Coordinating Group (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1002/(ISSN)1891-1803.education) will likely reveal other ideas.

Also, check out the Department of Education's What Works Clearinghouse Handbook. See section II. RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS AND QUASI-EXPERIMENTALDESIGNS

Subject: ROB tool for education studies?

Hello! Can anyone recommend a risk of bias tool suitable for use with interventional education studies? From what I have seen, most studies of classroom interventions are quasi-randomized at best, and rarely every truly randomized, and student equivalences across comparison groups may or may not have been established (nor group size equivalances). So i was wondering if there is a tool that might be more appropriate in this context.

Thanks for anything you can share!
Jane
