Iterative co-design development cycle with design-implement-revise cycles¶
Design · All designs
Evidence · no claims cited
Description¶
M-PLANS development used a co-design process bringing research and practice closer together, structured as a series of design-implement-revise cycles over three years. The team worked closely with science teachers to design concrete strategies usable in daily practice, studied program features as implemented in classrooms, and used what was learned to inform the next round, moving toward more refined and usable resources.
Design Implications¶
Context¶
Requirements¶
- Requires collaboration with teachers and district-level science coordinators in successive cycles, with classroom study of each implementation round.
Constraints¶
Target Learners¶
- Middle school science students
Learning Goals¶
- Development of professional learning resources that support student motivation in science
Claims¶
Related Designs¶
