Educational design research

Snapshot from the intro:

…The purpose of this chapter is to provide an introduction to educational design research as a research design appropriate to develop research-based solutions to complex problems in educational practice or to develop or validate theories about learning processes, learning environments and the like.

This twofold purpose will be reflected in the definition of design research discussed later in this chapter. However, regardless of the purpose, design research encompasses the systematic study of designing, developing and evaluating educational interventions1

- such as programs, learning processes, learning environments, teaching-learning materials, products and systems.

The need for a research design that addresses problems in educational practice has been argued by researchers in various ‘corners’ of the domain of education because of an apparent lack of relevance of much educational research for educational practice.

For example, the Design-Based Research Collective (2003, p.5) states that “educational research is often divorced from the problems and issues of everyday practice – a split that resulted in a credibility gap and creates a need for new research approaches that speak directly to problems of practice and that lead to the development of ‘usable knowledge’.”

Thoughts…

This book has got me considering a whole new approach to my research direction and that ‘co-production’ of knowledge, learning materials, interventions and insights, a very useful read.

Pilot amends

Remove what subject do you teach. Did you learn about how to make digital content inclusive and accessible at school, college or university? What region are you from in the UK? What type of school or setting are you from: Mainstream school Specialist provision Private education  Trainee teacher Research survey invitation I am Helen Wilson, a second year part-time PHD student at the University of Worcester. I am planning a piece of research titled: Working with teachers to plan a school classroom intervention about inclusion in our digital society As part of this research I’m conducting an initial online survey to help me prepare for the study. Who is this survey for? This survey aims to collect a minimum of 50 participant responses from teachers across the UK. Participants in this study: must be teachers from  upper key stage 2 (Years 5 or 6) , the survey will ask this at the beginning before revealing the questions teachers can be from any type of school setting  includ...

Notes from original proposal

Text taken from original proposal to unpack/expand: The barriers and ‘unlearning’ highlighted during SCULPT were potentially framed by prior complex  beliefs and understandings and ‘unlearning’ or ‘retrofitting’ skills (Youngblood, 2010). As Gu (2010, p.340) explains “a large part of human and professional knowledge can hardly retain its original meaning when it is divorced from the contexts in which it was constructed and produced.” This made me consider that these skills should potentially be taught at the point these original meanings are constructed and that happens at a much younger age. To understand when it would be appropriate to introduce the basics of awareness and skills in school, I considered the age when young people develop digital skills (Department for Education, 2013) as well as an understanding of what it means to be disabled and children’s perceptions for those with disabilities (Boer et al, 2012).  In a literature review Babik & Gardner (2021) found th...

 #Educators, do your students know what assistive technology means? From tactile maps to screen readers, #AssistiveTechnology includes a number of devices that enable and foster the inclusion of people with disabilities. The Teach Access Curriculum Repository (TACR) has various resources designed to build out your courses and introduce your students to these types of technologies.  Go to the TACR (https://lnkd.in/gWMxzk2e) and check out the presentation slide deck on assistive technology and the assignment for using a screen reader, under the Psychology section.    #BackToSchool #Accessibility #Inclusion #ScreenReader #AssistiveDevices #Psychology #Disability #Disabilities #A11y https://teachaccess.org/curriculum-repository/ Facebook research post: PhD Thesis Writing Process: A Systematic Approach—How to Write Your Introduction To download complete article, use the link: https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED590321.pdf https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED590321.pdf?f...
