Unterrichtswissenschaft, (2005)Abstract
The article presents design-based research which is more capable of creating sustained Innovation in the practice of education than other forms of research. After a short description of the term „innovation” and its meaning in educational contexts the article demonstrates some drawbacks for innovation and describes, on this basis, the goals and specific characteristics of design-based research. Design-based research, which assigns design a central role in the research process, is differentiated from experimental and evaluative research and analysed to what extend it upholds scientific principles. The article concludes with arguments summarizing pros for design-based research which can enhance the innovation potential of educational research.
