Tensions between design and research

From instructional design to design of learning environments

Characteristics of design research

ANALYSIS IMPLEMENTATION ASSESSMENT DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

Instructional design, design of learning environments The theory of affordances Gibson (1977), relationship between object properties and user characteristics that allows for a given interaction between actor and object. Kirschner (2003, 2004): Technology : usability. Social : ease of carrying out activities, promotion of interaction, perception of action, etc. Educational : actual correspondence with educational model used.

Technology : usability.

Social : ease of carrying out activities, promotion of interaction, perception of action, etc.

Educational : actual correspondence with educational model used.
