Designed-Based Research and Technology Enhanced Learning Environments
TL;DR: In this paper, design-based research has demonstrated its potential as a methodology suitable to both research and design of technology-enhanced learning environments (TELEs) and discuss future challenges of using this methodology.
Abstract: During the past decade, design-based research has demonstrated its potential as a methodology suitable to both research and design of technology-enhanced learning environments (TELEs). In this paper, we define and identify characteristics of design-based research, describe the importance of design-based research for the development of TELEs, propose principles for implementing design-based research with TELEs, and discuss future challenges of using this methodology.

TL;DR: The authors developed a model based on the "Generative Theory of Drawing Construction" showing how to exploit geovisualisation in teaching and evaluated the applicability and educational impacts of the model.
Abstract: Research about geovisualisation on education is limited. The paper develops a model based on the “Generative Theory of Drawing Construction” showing how to exploit geovisualisation in teaching. The applicability and educational impacts of the model were tested by implementing an experiment that used geovisualisation for teaching a tourism service management topic. Findings of students' performance demonstrate the better educational effects from learner-generated drawing instructions than the solely provision of geovisualisation material. The materialisation of the geovisualisation effects was conditional upon the provision of student support on drawing geovisualisations. Trends for effectively integrating geovisualisation in (tourism) education are also discussed.

TL;DR: It is argued that learning dashboards can be a useful aid in facilitating collaborative learning but only when designed with a clear pedagogical purpose informed by research and theory will learningDashboards be able to foster effective teaching and learning strategies.
Abstract: In the field of learning analytics, dashboards are visual displays that help instructors and students monitor performance, track goals and modify learning-related activities and plans. Student-facing dashboards provide visualizations of the data students need to take responsibility for their own learning, while instructor-facing dashboards help instructors guide and orchestrate student learning. After summarizing the spectrum of learning analytics research on dashboards, we critically review dashboards designed to support collaborative learning and examine research on student-facing and instructor-facing dashboards for problem-based learning, project-based learning, collaborative argumentation, and various team-based learning activities. We explain key concepts such as group awareness, shared mental models, and group cognition, and review tools including shared mirroring systems, ambient displays, and learning dashboards. We then identify opportunities and challenges in the burgeoning field of learning analytics dashboards for computer-supported collaborative learning and argue that learning dashboards can be a useful aid in facilitating collaborative learning but only when designed with a clear pedagogical purpose informed by research and theory will learning dashboards be able to foster effective teaching and learning strategies.

TL;DR: The role and importance of serious computer games in contemporary educational practice is presented in this paper as well as the theoretical fundamentals that justify their use in different forms of education.
Abstract: The role and importance of serious computer games in contemporary educational practice is presented in this paper as well as the theoretical fundamentals that justify their use in different forms of education. We present a project for designing and developing serious games that take place within the curriculum for computer science teachers’ education as an independent project work in teams. In this project work students have to use their knowledge in the field of didactics and computer science to develop games. The developed game is tested and evaluated in schools in the framework of their practical training. The results of the evaluation can help students improve their games and verify to which extent specified learning goals have been achieved.

TL;DR: The lion's share of my current research program is devoted to the study of learning in the blooming, buzzing confusion of inner-city classrooms, and central to the enterprise is that the classroom must function smoothly as a learning environment before the authors can study anything other than the myriad possible ways that things can go wrong.

TL;DR: Design experiments have both a pragmatic bent and a theoretical orientation as mentioned in this paper, developing domain-specific theories by systematically studying those forms of learning and the means of supporting them, and the authors clarify what is involved in preparing for and carrying out a design experiment, and conduct a retrospective analysis of the extensive, longitudinal data sets generated during an experiment.
Abstract: In this article, the authors first indicate the range of purposes and the variety of settings in which design experiments have been conducted and then delineate five crosscutting features that collectively differentiate design experiments from other methodologies. Design experiments have both a pragmatic bent—“engineering” particular forms of learning—and a theoretical orientation—developing domain-specific theories by systematically studying those forms of learning and the means of supporting them. The authors clarify what is involved in preparing for and carrying out a design experiment, and in conducting a retrospective analysis of the extensive, longitudinal data sets generated during an experiment. Logistical issues, issues of measure, the importance of working through the data systematically, and the need to be explicit about the criteria for making inferences are discussed.
