Brown (1992) and Collins (1992) are widely acknowledged as early contributors to the definition and activation of design-based research. They described it as a methodology that requires:
Essentially, DBR is a process of researching a problem, theory or conundrum by continually refining the questions through open, iterative collaboration.
That's what I need your help with.
- 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.
