Abstract

As educational research moves towards more interpretive paradigms, approaches need to be identified that accommodate the exploratory nature of such research, while maintaining rigorous approaches to data collection and analysis. This paper proposes design-based research as a powerful methodology for enabling innovation in ICT, while ensuring methodological rigour. Design experiments are discussed within the context of contemporary qualitative methods, and one particular piece of research, the Mark-UP project is described as an exemplar, highlighting the potential of this method for reconciling the need for action and practical application within the broader goals of research.
