Abstract
During the past few decades, several interconnected research traditions have paid more and more attention to the process of educational design. Educational design research and other design-oriented methods seek solutions for complex educational problems through systematic, iterative, and continuing process of design, development, and evaluation of educational practices. This special issue presents six articles including research on educational design research methodology as well as research utilizing educational design research methods.
Highlights
Educational design research (EDR), known as design-based research (DBR), is a methodological approach that enables systematic research-oriented praxis
EDR can be used for developing all kind of educational artefacts like e.g. learning materials, courses and software (Pernaa & Aksela, 2013)
EDR studies have been conducted since the early nineties (Brown, 1992; Collins, 1992)
Summary
Educational design research (EDR), known as design-based research (DBR), is a methodological approach that enables systematic research-oriented praxis. EDR can be used for developing all kind of educational artefacts like e.g. learning materials, courses and software (Pernaa & Aksela, 2013). Interest on the EDR can be seen, for example, in the growing number of handbooks, guides and special issues in educational research journals focusing on it (e.g. Barab & Squire, 2004; Kelly, 2003; Pernaa, 2013; Plomp & Nieveen, 2010; Sandoval & Bell, 2004). This special issue presents six studies, which either utilise or discuss the use of EDR in the context of mathematics, science and technology education research.
