DEVELOPMENTAL RESEARCH: A SUMMARY BY MIMMA SAYUTI MAT KHALID
The reference: • Richey, R.C., Klein, J.D. & Nelson, W. A. (2004). DEVELOPMENTAL RESEARCH: STUDIES OF INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT • Available online: http://www.aect.org/edtech/41.pdf
WHAT IS DEVELOPMENTAL RESEARCH? • According to Richey, Klein and Nelson (2004): “ The systematic study of designing, developing and evaluating instructional programs, processes and products that must meet the criteria of internal consistency and effectiveness (Seels & Richey, 1994. p. 127)” (p. 1099)
Why DR? ***DR fits in the Applied Research purposes.
WHY DR? ***DR fulfills the third type of knowledge.
The Research and Theory Foundations of Design and Development knowledge base (Richey & Klein, 2007, p. 7)
WHAT ARE THE MAJOR PHASES IN DR?: The scope of DR is “broader within the research context then when used in the context of creating instructional products (p. 1110) Questions for reflection: 1. Will a PhD candidate be able to carry out ALL the phases?
The Analysis in DR DR address Front End Analysis, not only needs assessment. ***On technique and methods of conducting a front end analysis: http://classweb.gmu.edu/ndabbagh/Resources/Resources2/FrontEnd.htm
HOW TO CARRY OUT DR? • Distinction between “doing” and “studying design and development • The distinctions can be describe in terms of: • Focus • Techniques • Tools • Two types of DR • Type 1: The most straightforward developmental research (also called Formative Research) • Type 2: General analysis of design, development or evaluation process as a whole of a particular component. (pp. 1106-1107)
STUDIES WHICH ARE NOT DR • Instructional psychology studies; • Media or delivery system comparison or impact studies; • Message design and communication studies; • Policy analysis or formation studies; and • Research on the profession. ***RESEARCH QUALIFIES AS DR WHEN: “new models were tested, or programs using such models were evaluated…” (p. 1103)
Techniques and Tools of DR • Various Research Methodologies that meet the project requirements; • E.g. : • Summative evaluation : classical experimental research; • Needs assessment: qualitative approaches; • Process studies: descriptive survey methods; and • Developmental project can also utilize historical research methods.
IMPORTANT: “ Merely conducting a comprehensive design and development project does not constitute conducting a developmental research project even using its most narrow Type 1 definition. One must also include the analysis and reporting stage to warrant being classified as developmental research [italicize added].(p. 1104)
Analysis of Representative of Type 1 DR literature: pp.1106, 1107 Analysis of Representative of Type 2 DR literature: pp. 1110, 1111
1. Focusing the problem • Begins in the problem definition stage. • Done by focusing the research problem on a particular aspect of the design, development or evaluation process • Must also establish the research PARAMETERS. • Then the scope of the study MUST be established: - How much of the design and development process will be addressed?
2. Framing the problem • Use of Research Questions rather then Hypotheses • Research Questions served as the organization framework for developmental studies 3. Identifying Limitations • DR is often context-specific, limitations should be identified.
Review of Related Literature (possible topics)- quoted from pp. 1114-1115: ***BOTH TYPES OF STUDIES OFTEN ADDRESS THE METHODOLOGY OF DR ITSELF IN THE REVIEW OF LITERATURE.
Research Procedures (common participants in DR studies) ***Participants are of multiple types and varies in the phases.
COMMON RESEARCH METHODS IN DR ***Multiple research methodologies and designs vary in the phases.
Collecting, Analyzing, and Reporting Data • Variety of forms depending on the focus of research; • Validity of the conclusion – depends on the richness of the data set and the quality of research design; and • Typical types of data collected in DR are related to DOCUMENTATION AND IDENTIFICATION of the result.
