Design-Based Research Proposal 

20% Contribution to your course grade with the following criteria:

Portfolio item due Monday Week 4 for feedback or Week 12 

Your first portfolio task is to Propose a Design-Based Research study on the use of an Educational Technology by an educational organisation (Portfolio item due Monday Week 4).

You will develop a 1000 word proposal to conduct a Design-Based Research study on an Educational Technology to be introduced into an educational organisation, with research on this process conducted in collaboration with members of the organisation using a Design-Based research methodology. 

You will be expected to:

Your first step is to choose an Educational Technology and you will develop a Design-Based Research proposal to explore how this Educational Technology could be adopted by an educational organisation. This will be explored in more detail in Week 1 on Change Research.

Next, you need to choose the level of your educational organisation (national, state, school, classroom, etc.) and the stakeholders for your organisation. This will be explored in more detail in Week 2 on Change Design.

You then describe the Design-Based research outcomes possible, including both academic and organisational research outcomes. This was explored in Week 1 on Change Research.

Then finally, you need to articulate how you would evaluate the Educational Technology adopted by your organisation in addition to the Design-Based research conducted, paying particular attention to the interests and expected outcomes of each of your identified stakeholders. This was explored in Week 2 on Change Design.
