The document discusses design-based research (DBR), which is a systematic but flexible methodology aimed at improving educational practices. DBR involves collaboration between researchers and practitioners in real-world settings to develop contextually-sensitive design principles and theories. It focuses on designing, constructing, implementing, and adopting learning initiatives. The core method of DBR consists of four steps: analyzing problems collaboratively, developing solutions informed by design principles, testing and refining solutions, and implementing solutions while reflecting to improve principles and solutions. DBR provides practical and theoretical contributions, improves learning, generates new ideas, and introduces useful research methodologies.

3. What is Research……..????????

5. Research
• The systematic study of materials and sources in order to
establish facts and reach new conclusions.

6. Types of Research
• Quantitative
• Qualitative
• Critical
• Design-based

7. Design based Research
• A systematic but flexible methodology aimed to improve educational
practices through analysis, design, development, and implementation.

8. Characteristics of Design based research
• It is based on collaboration among researchers and practitioners in real-world
settings.
• It leads to contextually-sensitive design principles and theories.
• Related to engineering and architectural research.
• Focuses on the design, construction, implementation and adoption of a
learning initiative.

9. Design based research method
• This method is used for design based research.
• The researchers and the practitioners works collaboratively in this method.

10. Design based research method
This method consists of Four steps

11. Step : 1
• Analysis of practical problems by researchers and practitioners in
collaboration.
• The researchers analyze the data and sources related to the practical problem.

12. Step : 2
• Development of solutions informed by existing design principles and
technological interventions.

13. Step : 3
• In this step the testing and refinement of solution are practiced.
• The purpose of testing and refinement is to evaluate that how much the
given solution is effective for the current problem.

14. Step : 4
• The last step is the implementation of the solution of the problem.
• Reflection to produce designed principles and enhance solution
implementation.

16. Why we need DBR…???????

17. Benefits of DBR
• Practical contribution.
• Theoretical contribution.
• Improve new learning.
• Generate new ideas.
• Introduce useful methodologies for researchers.
