Defining design-based research

‣ Design-based research is a core strategy and approach that considers how our developments benefit the user, group or society and how our developments provide design principles for future practice and research.

‣ Design-based research advances design, research and practice concurrently (Wang and Hannafin, 2005).

based research as:

‣ “a systematic but flexible methodology aimed to improve educational practices through iterative analysis, design, development, and implementation, based on collaboration among researchers and practitioners in real-world settings, and leading to contextually sensitive design principles and theories” (p. 7).
