Paradigm in the Learning Sciences Research

Abstract

In this article, I had a challenge to summarize what the learning sciences is from the perspective of its methodology so that readers can have a sense of it. By doing so, I cite most recent works published in the learning sciences journals to explain articulately characteristics of design-based research, the most representative method in this field. As a learning scientist, I hope that readers can develop their own perspective with the argument here as an advance organizer by which they scrutinize practice-based studies in their own fields from the learning sciences perspective.
