Design-Based Research: Old PER Wine in a New Bottle #2

Some blog followers might be interested in a discussion-list post “Design-Based Research: Old PER Wine in a New Bottle #2” [Hake (2011b)].

The abstract reads:

****************************************************
ABSTRACT: In response to my PhysLrnR post “Design-Based Research: Old PER Wine in a New Bottle” [Hake (2011)] Paul Camp (2011) wrote: “ ‘Doing research in a classroom’ is not the same thing as a design experiment.”

OF COURSE, I DID NOT CLAIM THAT IT WAS! Furthermore, in articles referenced in Hake (2011a) I explain:

(a) that Design-Based Research (DBR) is NOT the same thing as a “doing research in the classroom,” but nevertheless

(b) some Physics Education Research (PER) qualifies as DBR as characterized by cognitive scientist Anthony Kelly.

instances in which journals had rejected his papers – see
Gans & Shepherd (1994). Anyone for doing a
Gans/Shepherd-type study for the PER and CS fields?
