188 11 Design-Based Research

Key Points in This Chapter
(1) Design-based research is a systemic approach to the planning and imple-
menting of innovations that emphasize an iterative approach to design with
ongoing involvement and collaboration with practitioners.
(2) Design-based research exhibits the following characteristics: pragmatic,
grounded, interventionist, iterative, collaborative, adaptive, and theory-
oriented.
(3) Three core phases of DBR include analysis and exploration, design and
construction, evaluation and reflection.
