This website is devoted to Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge. There you can ask your questions and find out the studies done in this field.
Actually the topic is not totally about designed based research but clearly this talk criticizes the curriculum based on the experiences of the talker. This talk is one of the most popular talks, so I think it is worth watching.
This video is about extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. I can advise you to watch it, because it makes what he says clear with drawings. Also he is talking about a research which has surprising results.
When I was reading Blumenfeld and Rogat's article, the part about authenticity, I encountered the term "BGuILE" and checked it out. If you are interested in, it is a tool and it is not active now, last update is 2002.
It says BGuILE, learning environments bring scientific inquiry into middle school science and high school biology classrooms. The environments consist of computer-based scenarios and associated classroom activities in which students conduct authentic scientific investigations.
The efforts to boost the nascent field of learning analytics could bring about a sea change in education, making it possible to personalize - on a massive scale - students' learning by their individual interests and needs, according to a comprehensive report, involving experts from academia, business, nonprofits, foundations and government .
There is a case study which I really advise you to look at it. It is about a political course in which they took a government's problem about content and design of websites. He says "given all the considerations at work in municipal government, the students will decide how the power of the web can best be brought to bear on making government work better."
This video is similar to Sibel's but there are some different examples.
Here are some interesting points; Jean Lave argues that situated learning does not need to be authentic always because there is algebra. Also she says that the situation must have cognitive complexity. She points that social networks can be used to enable learning environment.
The article is about Generation Y which is the students in our classes now. In his article, Peter Reilly mentions about a new generation called "Generation Y " and its features. Firstly he talks on four different generation types which are "the baby boomer generation", "generation X", "generation Y" and "generation Z" respectively. He takes generation Y especially because I think they are the young people of our world and there isn't enough knowledge about them. He mentions about some features of generation Y members who prefer multitask rather than focusing one thing in a time. Also they are more concerned about what their employer can do for them rather than what they can do for a company.In the school, Gen Y wants technology integrated multitask ways rather than traditional old-way.
The talk is about a research conducted by Indian Pawan Shinha. The research has been conducted on a group of 200 children. They were blind as a result of cataract. He pioneered the project which consists of treatment and post observation. He defined learning seeing step by step. He uttered that after treatment, the patient cannot differentiate the shapes; even the shadow is an object for them. The video has real data which is very interesting in my opinion.
