AI

This book provides insights into educational design research by presenting the findings and discussions from a seminar that included experts from Europe and the USA. It highlights the conceptual foundations and practical dimensions of design research, particularly in curriculum development and instructional technology. While it does not serve as a 'how to' guide, the chapters collectively aim to enhance understanding of the intricacies involved in educational design research.

Publishing and perishing: The critical importance of educational design research
Thomas C Reeves

Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2011

The outcomes of educational systems continue to lag far behind expectations at all levels, primary, secondary, and tertiary. Meanwhile, the sheer amount of educational research published in refereed journals has expanded enormously. There is an obvious disconnect between the educational research papers published in professional journals or presented at academic conferences and any form of beneficial impact on the students, teachers, and other stakeholders in educational systems. This problem can be traced back to those professors and research supervisors engaged in the preparation of educational researchers who fail to convey to novice researchers important distinctions between the goals and methods of educational research. Educational design research provides a potentially viable alternative to the kind of educational research that is commonly conducted in the field of educational technology. Educational design research has the twin objectives of developing creative approaches to s...

Design Research: Theoretical and Methodological Issues
Allan Collins

Journal of the learning …, 2004

The term “design experiments” was introduced in 1992, in articles by Ann Brown (1992) and Allan Collins (1992). Design experiments were developed as a way to carry out formative research to test and refine educational designs based on principles derived from prior research. More recently the term design research has been applied to this kind of work. In this article, we outline the goals of design research and how it is related to other methodologies.We illustrate how design research is carried out with two very different examples. And we provide guidelines for how design research can best be carried out in the future.

Special Issue on Learning Design Research: Mapping the terrain
Leanne Cameron

Australasian Journal of Educational Technology

Learning Design as a field of educational research and practice is gaining traction internationally. Not only is Learning Design now acknowledged as a complex and integrated process, demanding specialised knowledge and skills, it is a field of technology enhanced learning and teaching that is forward looking and globally focused. This special issue is unable to provide a unified position of what Learning Design is or resolve the debate, but it is able to contribute to a better understanding of the complexity of this field of educational research and practice. It also showcases some of the cutting edge work currently conducted internationally in Learning Design research and development

Acta Graphica, 2017

Design in Education is the object of in-depth study and it has opened many doors for action by the designer, reaffirming the interdisciplinary vocation of this area of knowledge. This study intends to present Design as a field that can contribute effectively towards the creation of educational artifacts and cultural inventions, important aspects in human's cognitive development. This topic is one of the main objects of study at the Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Design/Education - lide, in operation since 1997, within the scope of the Graduate Studies Program in Design at Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, This paper refers to the study, research and theoretical line of research Design in Teaching and Learning Situations through an interdisciplinary dialogue between Design and Education. Through methods and techniques of Design it was sought to identify how this area of knowledge can participate in the processes of teaching and learning at the setting of...

Learning Design: European Approaches
Paul Kirschner

TechTrends

Research on instructional and learning design is ‘booming’ in Europe, although there has been a move from a focus on content and the way to present it in a formal educational context (i.e., instruction), to a focus on complex learning, learning environments including the workplace, and access to learner data available in these environments. We even see the term ‘learning experience design’ (Neelen and Kirschner 2020) to describe the field. Furthermore, there is an effort to empower teachers (and even students) as designers of learning (including environments and new pedagogies), and to support their reflection on their own practice as part of their professional development (Hansen and Wasson 2016; Luckin et al. 2016; Wasson et al. 2016). While instructional design is an often heard term in the United States and refers to “translating principles of learning and instruction into plans for instructional materials, activities, information resources, and evaluation” (Smith and Ragan 1999...

Educational Design Research

2017

This editorial article introduces the overall conceptualisation of the journal EDeR-Educational Design Research and its review-and workflow model. In addition, it provides an overview of all contributions that made it into Issue 1 of EDeR, before it invites the wider Design-Based Research community to participate in a variety of roles and functions. EDeR is seeking contributions on Design-Based Research within the educational sciences. All kinds of educational contexts can be addressed, such as higher education, adult education & professional training, vocational education, school education, and so forth. We welcome contributions on Design-Based Research from pedagogical, psychological, sociological, economic, information-technological perspectives, and so forth, as long as they focus on educational problems and challenges. Furthermore, we also encourage contributions that focus on methodological and conceptual challenges and the further development of the Design-based Research approach within the educational sciences.

Educational design research: Signs of progress
Thomas C Reeves

Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2015

This special issue of the Australasian Journal of Educational Technology includes an introductory article by the guest editors and six papers that illustrate the potential of educational design research (EDR) to address important problems in higher education. In this final paper, reflections on the papers are made. Then the rationale for conducting EDR instead of media comparison studies is described with a concrete example. This paper concludes with a proposal for expanding educational design research through the establishment of consortia of collaborating researchers, practitioners, and funding agencies focused on the most salient challenges faced in education today.

The complexity of educational design research
Ilya Zitter

Quality & Quantity, 2013

To enhance the relevancy of educational research findings, a research approach known as design research has gained influence. This approach is described as complex, but no satisfying explanation of this complexity has been provided. In this paper we question why design research is complex by nature. Following a longitudinal case conducted by the third author, we argue that design research in educational sciences (EDR) necessitates balancing three different motives and accordingly, three epistemic practices: (1) educational research, (2) educational design, and (3) educational change. An analysis of challenges in the case study shows the difficulty for the EDR researcher to understand and disentangle underlying motives during the research process, but also the difficulty of dealing with different, easily conflicting research positions, resources, quality rules, time frames, audiences, and products. The identification and description of three epistemic practices offers a framework with which difficulties of EDR can be understood and anticipated.
