== Definition ==

According to Collins et al (2004: 15) {{quotation |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.}}

According to Sandoval (talk, 2007). DBR is about intervention: when it works, how it works and for who it works.

== What is DBR ? ==

=== A short history ===

'''Design-based reasearch''' (DBR) in education is probably very old, but recent interest can be traced back to the early nineties, e.g. Brown (1992) and Collins (1992).

According to Reeves (2000:8), Ann Brown (1992) and Alan Collins (1992) defined critical characteristics of design experiments as:
* addressing complex problems in real contexts in collaboration with practitioners,
* integrating known and hypothetical [[design-principles]] with technological affordances to render plausible solutions to these complex problems, and
* conducting rigorous and reflective inquiry to test and refine innovative learning environments as well as to define new [[design-principles]].

According to the Design-Based Research Collective (2003):
{{quotation | First, the central goals of designing learning environments and developing theories or “prototheories” of learning are intertwined. Second, development and research take place through continuous cycles of design, enactment, analysis, and redesign. Third, research on designs must lead to sharable theories that help communicate relevant implications to practitioners and other educational designers. Fourth, research must account for how designs function in authentic settings. It must not only document success or failure but also focus on interactions that refine our understanding of the learning issues involved. Fifth, the development of such accounts relies on methods that can document and connect processes of enactment to outcomes of interest.}}

More recently, special issues of [http://www.aera.net/publications/?id=317 Educational Researcher] (e.g. Kelly 2003), the [http://www.leaonline.com/toc/jls/13/1 Journal of Learning Sciences] (e.g. Barab 2004) and the [http://www.leaonline.com/loi/ep/39/4 Educational Psychologist] (e.g. Sandoval & Bell 2004) reopened the debate. In addition some researchers joined in the [http://www.designbasedresearch.org/ Design Based Research Collective].

According to Collins et al (2004: 16), design research was developed to address several issues central to the study of learning, including the following:
* The need to address theoretical questions about the nature of learning in context.
* The need for approaches to the study of learning phenomena in the real world rather than the laboratory.
* The need to go beyond narrow measures of learning.
* The need to derive research findings from formative evaluation.

For Anderson and Shattuck (2012:24), {{quotation|DBR seems have been used to make a difference—but mostly at the level of small-scale interventions and in the lives of individual teachers and schools.}} The authors {{quotation|concure with Dede, Ketelhut, Whitehouse, Breit, and McCloskey’s (2009) claim that “DBR offers a ‘best practice’ stance that has proved useful in complex learning environments, where formative evaluation plays a significant role, and this methodology incorporates both evaluation and empirical analyses and provides multiple entry points for various scholarly endeavors”}}

What is '''not''' DBR ? For example:
* Single case one-shot field studies of various sorts
* User centered technical implementation studies that do not document output of various cycles
* Studies that do not produce design rules as output.
* Studies that are vague about educational workflows, etc. I.e. the ones that do not use any kind of semi-formal modeling.
In other words: Studies that neither precisely describe a design, nor its mechanics, nor its "making", nor contextual variables that make it work.

=== DBR v.s. traditional empirical research ===

Reeves (2000:9, 2006) draws a clear line between research conducted with traditional empirical goals and that inspired by development goals leading to "[[Design-principles]]". 

[[image:design-research-reeves-2006.png|frame|none|Predictive and design research approaches in educational technology research. In Reeves, T.C. (2006), Design research from the technology perspective]]

=== Action orientation ===

There is clearly an action-research oriented perspective, i.e. researchers must try to change things.
:The overall goal of research within the empirical tradition is to develop long-lasting theories and unambiguous principles that can be handed off to practitioners for implementation. Development research, on the other hand, requires a pragmatic epistemology that regards learning theory as being collaboratively shaped by researchers and practitioners. The overall goal of development research is to solve real problems while at the same time constructing [[Design-principles]] that can inform future decisions. In Kuhn's terms, these are different worlds." (Reeves, 2000: 12).

For Juuti and Lavonen (2006) three aspects constitute design-based research: {{quotation|(a) a design process is essentially iterative starting from the recognition of the change of the environment of praxis, (b) it generates a widely usable artefact, (c) and it provides educational knowledge for more intelligible praxis.}}

Design-based research can be seen as combination of action research and ordinary instructional methods such as [[ADDIE]]. Richter et al. point out that design-based research also could be more critical and that reflexive design assumes that neither the problem nor the possible solutions are given but are actually created in the process of design.

=== Situatedness  and complexity ===

Context, i.e. situation-specific knowledge is an other important feature:

: ``A core part of design-based research as applied work involves situating the work in "naturalistic contexts".´´ (Barab & Squire, 2004: 11)

: Prototypically, design experiments entail both engineering particular forms of learning and systematically studying those forms of learning within the context defined by the means of supporting them. This designed context is subject to test and revision, and the successive iterations that result play a role similar to that of systematic variation in experiment. (Cobb, diSessa, Lehrer, & Schauble (2003:9)

Related to complexity and situatedness is the idea of iteration.

=== Theory as output ===

DBR often produces theory as output, in particular an [[instructional design model]] with a [[design rule]] at its heart.

Such theory is often very contextual and not necessarily applicable to a wider context, i.e. it needs futher corroboration with more traditional research approaches.

According to Sandoval (talk at EPFL, 2007), types of knowledge that DBR typically can produce:
* Design knowledge (Edelson, 2002)
* Ontological innovation (DiSessa & Cobb, 2004)
* Local instructional theories (Cobb, Gravemeijer, 2004). There was some debate in his talk wether one could organize some comparative analysis from similar projects (a bit like in political science' similar systems design).

== Example approaches ==

DBR is put into practise in different ways and from different perspectives ...

=== Reeves's recommendations ===
Verbatim quote from Reeves (2000:12):

* Focus on chronically difficult problems related to human learning and performance.
* Engage teachers, students, and colleagues in long-term collaborative research agendas.
* Carefully align any prototype technological solutions with instructional objectives, pedagogy, and assessment.
* Clarify the theoretical and practical [[design-principles]] that underlie prototype technological solutions, and conduct rigorous studies of these principles, their inherent assumptions, their implementation, and their outcomes in realistic settings.
* Share the results of your design experiments in multiple ways, including refereed and commercial publications, web-pages, conferences, and workshops.
* Expect to work very hard. Be patient and persevere. And enjoy the challenge and reward of a career worth having for its contributions to the greater good.

=== BGuILE ===

* See [[Conjecture map]] and [[BGuILE]].

== Methodology ==

Design-based research uses the full range of social science methodologies, but if faces specific challenges (most of which can be be found in other [[Methodology tutorial - design-oriented research designs|design-oriented research designs]].

More or less according to Sandoval (EPFL talk, 2007):
* Complexity. How to avoid too much data (e.g. videotape everything) and conversely how to focus on the right data.
* Validity. Same as most qualitative research
* Generalization. Even to make general theoretical claims one need lots of design experiments.
* Replicability. Generally speaking it is not. (But features may be of course)
* Trajectory. How to organize the whole process in a systematic way, map conjectures to design changes etc.

Regarding the "trajectory", i.e. the organization of the whole process, Sandoval developed the use of [[conjecture map]]s, i.e. a kind of concept map that allows to visually organize major theoretical, design and outcome elements.
