    Design-Based Research Methods (DBR) | Learning Theories

    Highlights and Sticky Notes:

    educators have been trying to narrow the chasm between research and practice. Part of the challenge is that research that is detached from practice “may not account for the influence of contexts, the emergent and complex nature of outcomes, and the incompleteness of knowledge about which factors are relevant for prediction” (DBRC, 2003).
  • The need to address theoretical questions about the nature of learning in context
  • The need for approaches to the study of learning phenomena in the real world situations rather than the laboratory

    Mental processes such as thinking, memory, knowing, and problem-solving need to be explored
    A response to behaviorism, people are not “programmed animals” that merely respond to environmental stimuli; people are rational beings that require active participation in order to learn, and whose actions are a consequence of thinking
    • this distinction is important – sees learners as having abilities to think and not just react/respond – Roger Harrison
