In addition to devasting effects on students, these disruptions had consequences for researchers conducting studies on education programs and policies. Given the likelihood of future large-scale disruptions, it is important for researchers to plan resilient studies and think critically about adaptations when such turbulence arises. In this article, we utilize qualitative analysis of interviews with research study leaders to illuminate practical and methodological challenges, as well as promising practices that arose during the pandemic period. We find that researchers made pivots to address practical challenges and protect the feasibility of their studies. We also find that researchers took precautions, where possible, to understand and bolster internal validity. However, these pivots frequently surfaced additional threats to construct and external validity. We conclude with recommendations for future studies conducted in times of prolonged unplanned school closures or other large-scale disruptions.  \nKeywords: education effectiveness; school disruptions; study design  \nInvestigación interrumpida: Abordar desafíos prácticos y metodológicos en condiciones turbulentas  \nResumen: La pandemia de COVID-19 provocó una enorme agitación en la educación. Además de los efectos devastadores para los estudiantes, estas perturbaciones tuvieron consecuencias para los investigadores que realizaban estudios sobre programas y políticaseducativas. Dada la probabilidad de futuras perturbaciones a gran escala, es importante que los investigadores planifiquen estudios de resiliencia y piensen críticamente sobre las adaptaciones cuando surjan tales turbulencias. En este artículo, utilizamos un análisis cualitativo de entrevistas con líderes de estudios de investigación para iluminar los desafíos prácticos y metodológicos, así como las prácticas prometedoras que surgieron durante el período de la pandemia. Descubrimos que los investigadores tomaron medidas para abordar desafíos prácticos y proteger la viabilidad de sus estudios. También encontramosque los investigadores tomaron precauciones, cuando fue posible, para comprender y reforzar la validez interna. Sin embargo, estos pivotes a menudo sacaron a la superficie amenazas adicionales a la validez externa y de constructo. Concluimos con recomendaciones para futuros estudios realizados en tiempos de cierres escolares prolongados e imprevistos u otras perturbaciones a gran escala.  \nPalabras-clave: eficacia de la educación; interrupciones escolares; diseño del estudio  \nPesquisa interrompida: Enfrentando desafios práticos e metodológicos em condições turbulentas  \nResumo: A pandemia de COVID-19 causou uma tremenda reviravolta na escolaridade.
