Design Process in K-12 Education: Preliminary Findings of a Systematic Review

Activity: Talk or presentation typesContributed talkScientific

Description

There is a big emphasis on design based learning and the number of studies continue to grow
steadily. In this process, it is important to understand how design based practices are
implemented in K-12 classrooms. The preliminary findings of our systematic review are based
on 77 publications that were published between 2018 and 2021 in the Web of Science, Scopus,
ERIC, and APA PsyINFO databases. We discovered that the amount of time spent on design
ranges from one class period to one semester, and each study had specific design process
goals based on the content. The vast majority of the research in the publications in our sample
was carried out in the United States, and science remained the most popular discipline. The
popular participant group was secondary school (middle and high school) students. Only
papers that involved students in the design process were included in our review; however, we
could only disclose specifics on the design process in 32% of the articles.To achieve coherence
among design-based applications, our first findings reveal many important discrepancies that
should be carefully taken into account.
