Abstract: | Although popular, a challenge for those new to design-based research is the deliberate building, instantiation and testing of learning theory in a learning design. Building “humble” theory as a bricolage of constructs or grounding a more generalized theory into context is difficult and iterative work. We report on a polyvocal design-based research study in which an activity course instructors designed to support building connections across theory, task, and design became particularly salient for students in two graduate courses (design-based research and advanced learning design). In both courses, students came to express more ownership over theory and saw theory not as inert, but as a tool they could wield and revise. This learning design thus supported students to take a design approach to theorywork. |
