- Design Experiments: Theoretical and Methodological Challenges in Creating Complex Interventions in Classroom Settings
- Abstract/Description
- The author describes her attempts to engage in design experiments intended to transform classrooms from academic work factories to learning environments that encourage reflective practice among students, teachers, and researchers. The need for new and complex methodologies to capture the systemic nature of learning, teaching, and assessment is highlighted, as is the need to consider the history of prior attempts to reorganize school and work environments. Three of the main theoretical and methodological problems associated with attempts to assess conceptual change in situ are discussed. These are the relationship between laboratory and classroom work; idiographic vs nomothetic approaches; and the Bartlett Effect, or the problem of data selection.
