Abstract
The concern that educational research is often divorced from the
problems and issues of everyday teaching practice, is strongly
influenced by the chosen paradigm in which the research is framed.
Modelled on design-based research methods, this paper presents the
development of a theoretical research framework that accommodates
complex interventions, such as the adoption of ICT into mainstream
classroom practice, which can be informed and improved through
empirical study. It is hoped that in developing the Design-Based
Research in Innovative Education Framework (DBRIEF), the desirable
outcome of providing a practical and adaptable instrument with the
potential to find applicability, currency, and promote the sharing of
knowledge in the wider educational research community, is
achieved.
