Abstract

Design research has been described in detail in many publications, most recently by the Dutch (Van den Akker, Gravemeijer, McKenney & Nieveen, 2006, with e.g., Kelly, 2006), and the Kelly, Lesh and Baek (2008) collection of papers (e.g., Kelly, Lesh, Baek & Bannan-Ritland, 2008; Middleton, Gorard, Taylor & Bannon-Ritland, 2008). Plomp (chapter 1 of this book) also provides an overview. For that reason, I will not reiterate the description here. Rather, I will assume that the reader is familiar with these sources and the special issues of journals (e.g., Barab & Squire, 2004; Kelly, 2003, 2004) that have appeared. Instead, I wish to place design research within the frame of a larger context for research on interventions.
