CAISE Online Forum on Design Based Research (DBR), Design Based Implementation Research (DBIR), and Informal STEM Learning: May 16- 20, 2016
This forum will explore design-based research (DBR) and design-based implementation research (DBIR) as paradigms, approaches and methodologies in informal STEM education (ISE) projects. Developed in the learning sciences, DBR and DBIR are often applied to the problems of formal education, but have been emerging in our field. In this discussion we will consider how these approaches have been defined and developed and the distinctions between them. We will explore how they are being used in the field of informal STEM learning, discuss how they contribute to theory and practice, and share experiences of and strategies for developing DBR and DBIR projects and partnerships. Join the forum here beginning at 9:00 AM EST on Monday, May 16: http://www.informalscience.org/forums/dbr-dbir-and-informal-stem-learning
