Overview of DBR
• Driven by problems of practice– Research of and for practice, not research to practice.
– Collaborative research with practitioners
• Goals– Implement innovative designs for learning in practical settings
– Use these designs as contexts for research on teaching and learning
• Method to link observed outcomes to processes of enactment• Assumes that local context profoundly impacts implementation
– Places limits on generalization of findings
Designs embody conjectures of learning
A learning environment for biology
Mapping the embodied conjecture
(Sandoval, 2004)
Timescales of design-based research
• Micro-cycles of analysis during implementation• Macro-cycles of retrospective analysis
(from Cobb, 2001)
A partial example in higher education
