Design-Based Research

Chapter Outline

• Characters of design-based research
• The process of design-based research
• DBR and traditional empirical research methods.

By the End of This Chapter, You Should Be Able To

• Clarify the characteristics of design-based research
• Use design-based research (DBR) to design research procedures
• Identify the differences of DBR and traditional empirical research methods.

Main Learning Activities

1. Think about when one would do design research and how to do a design-based
research in educational technology. Try to think of such an effort in the context
of a specific technology-based implementation.
2. After you learn the characters and process of DBR (design-based research),
please draw a mind map to illustrate the relationships between the key steps of
DBR. Please discuss with your peers about the differences of DBR and the
traditional predictive research methods. When you are carrying out educational
technology research, what methods will you use and why?
