The table the authors provide, suggests some important distinctions between experimentation and design based research.

Nice table. What I like about DBR is its flexibility as mentioned in the table. You can make revisions on your design whenever necessary.

Yes I totally agree and also the participants not being assigned as objects can be another important advantage.

Although it is a kind of advertisement, I like this smart technology products and the idea of smart classroom. Small groups can be engaged very easily for collaborative activities and they can touch the multi touch screen at the same time. Also, teacher can connect it to smart table with a software.

I think it is basic but very effective application. Especially it is fun and when thinking the usage of it is for children, it is a great advantage.

It is an application for mobile phones which you can view elements as virtual from your screen. You can view all elements seperately and also, if you put together them, they can from a product that you can see from the screen. The principle is very simple, after you install the application to your phone you can download the pdf of element cubes from the websites. You can also, view the demo from the website of app; http://elements4d.daqri.com/#demo

I think this app looks fine to visualize an abstract topic which is elements. I agree with you Armağan about the necessity of appropriate curriculum. For example, an activity could be helpful that allows to students arrange the locations of elements based on their atomic radius in a periodic table. Therefore, the students can observe atomic radius of elements is increasing or decreasing when running left to right in rows and running up and down in columns of the periodic table. Like Selçuk said that those applications are used in other fields too. I've seen some works of Bilal Özçakır when I joined at a presentation. He visualizes the geometric shapes in 3D from QR codes. For example, you see a geometric shape from every perspective of it and you test yourself with how top or bottom perspectives of a geometric shape looks like by looking its one side. Thus, you have a realistic experience with virtual objects in immediacy.

I wrote at OdtüClass forum that interested people get learn from the beginning about developing at least basic applications. When I talked with Özçakır, he also said to me he learned the whole process from the online sources with his efforts. Of course, instead of open-source applications; the aim will be be to gain money but I think appearing more amateur applications cause many advantages at these areas.

Perhaps, you've watched it before, but pls watch it if you haven't...it is one of my favourites...Enjoy it :-))

The video presents the reality of women, we are really complicated;) I really enjoyed watching it Şermin thanks for sharing:)

Wow that was funny! I want to share what happened when me an my friend were trying to assemble my disassembled table:) I was following the directions 'step by step' at the mean time thinking where to put the table according to day light,the lamp and so on when he just started to assemble it without thinking anything, really anything and for sure without checking the instructions. He had a glance what it is supposed to look like in the end and just gave a start. I think this is also the way men perceive the life :)

I liked Table1 - Design-based research variants and methods and Table-2 Characteristics of design-based research. Thanks.

"Design-based research and TELE (Technology-enhanced learning environments) designs are reciprocal and, thus, need to be interdependent. In order to stimulate contextually-sensitive practices of learning and instruction in the design and implementation of TELEs, practical, detailed, and contextual advice is necessary. Design-based research, as a pragmatic methodology, can guide TELE designers while generating practical knowledge to be shared among a broad design community. Conversely, TELE design theories, models, and procedures need to ensure that design-based research methodologies can be made operational, formalized, and systematized."

I really liked the tables organized for different activity types like knowledge building activities, convergent knowledge expression activities and so on. They give big implications for practice.

You can find background information of Flow Theory within the charts

It`s really useful chart to have all theories related to learning and motivation in a summary version.Thanks for sharing.

I agree with Defne..Thank you Burcu for sharing..I always like this type of charts & tables summarizing the things..And I have felt closer to Harter's Effentance Motivation by the way.

Famous article by Nicolas Carr. What do you think?

I like these sentences from the text: "Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski.". Because the way we read has changed with new strategies(scanning and scimming quickly) and a great deal of information. That's why we rather google it then reading hundreds of pages.(Or ctrl-f works pretty good in some cases:)) However, I do not think that we are getting more stupid. Our brain has been evolving with new technologies and habits and probably will keep doing that. So we are not so much eager to keep some information in our minds since we are sure that we can reach them anywhere anytime. For instance, children no longer memorize multiplying tables but it does not tell us that they can not solve multiplication problems.They have another instruments to save time and energy :)

I agree with the ideas of Afra and Sinem. Sometimes I experience this while reading articles for my thesis and I have to write the key points for myself. However, I believe that we are not getting stupid, because we are now in technology era. We cannot abstain from appyling google for any information. It is really cost-effective in terms of time and money. I think that we will have to face with more new technologies in future, but this cannot mean that we will get more stupid. It is the requirement of our era we live in and we have to adapt ourselves.

While I was reading DBR, ''Forum theatre'' always came to my mind whether they resemble or not.After a quick search, i found that study.It is DBR.''It is understood as developing, testing,investigating, and refining learning environment designs and theoretical constructs, such as the pedagogical models that support learning and illustrate and predict how learning occurs.'' The data were collected through questionnaires.They used TML model(Teaching meaningful learning,you can see the table of it)According to the students, the video-supported forum-theater promoted most clearly the collaborative, co-operational,and conversational characteristics of meaningful learning.More,results suggest many refinements for Drama courses.

The article underlines the emerging of design-based research by making connections with learning sciences. Differences between experimentation and design-based research are offered and terminologies that are similar to design-based research are dicussed with similarities and differences.

I especially liked the table, comparion experimentation and design based research. It made me clear about some issues, thanks :)
