Subclaims¶

q1 i? Warr, Mishra, and Scragg argue the discipline should apply the same design thinking used for educational design to creating theory, so theory better bridges research and practice. → Richard E. West 2020 q1 i? McDonald and Yanchar argue the field should develop originary theory, generated by the scholars and practitioners intending to apply it, rather than importing often misfitted theory from other domains. → Richard E. West 2020 (2)

Evidence¶

Richard E. West 2020¶

Richard E. West, Peg Ertmer, Susan McKenney. (2020). The crucial role of theoretical scholarship for learning design and technology. Education Tech Research Dev. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-020-09770-9

q1 · i? · theoretical · r3

The editorial summarizes the Warr, Mishra, and Scragg paper's argument that design thinking should be applied "to instead create theory", claiming this can bridge research and practice and embed theory development into regular practice. Attributed summary; no data reported.

"Melissa Warr, Punya Mishra, and Benjamin Scragg begin by asking us as a discipline to apply the same design thinking and problem solving that we use in creating educational design to instead create theory."

Richard E. West 2020 (2)¶

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

The editorial summarizes the McDonald and Yanchar argument for "originary theory" over imported theory from other domains, which they say is often misfitted. Attributed summary of a theoretical paper; no data reported.

"Jason McDonald and Stephen Yanchar argue in their paper that our field should focus on developing originary theory, or theory generated by the scholars and practitioners intending to apply it. They contrast this with imported theory, brought from other domains, which is often misfitted."
