“…Design experiments provide a method for conducting educational research with the goal of improving learning and not just of describing it (Collins 1992;Brown 1992;Barab and Squire 2004;Bell 2004;Fishman et al 2004;DiSessa and Cobb 2004). Thus, researchers become practitioners by designing research studies that are also interventions.…”

This paper presents Project InterActions, a series of 5-week workshops in which very young learners (4-to 7-year-old children) and their parents come together to build and program a personally meaningful robotic project in the context of a multigenerational robotics-based community of practice. The goal of these family workshops is to teach both parents and children about the mechanical and programming aspects involved in robotics, as well as to initiate them in a learning trajectory with and about technology. Results from this project address different ways in which parents and children learn together and provide insights into how to develop educational interventions that would educate parents, as well as children, in new domains of knowledge and skills such as robotics and new technologies.

“…Finally, we suggest that NSET education researchers consider a design-based research approach [48][49][50] for NSET learning research. Designed-based research "simultaneously pursues the goals of developing effective learning environments and using such environments as natural laboratories to study learning and teaching" ( [50], p. 200).…”

By the end of the first decade of the 21st century, it was clear that nanotechnology was emerging as one of the most promising and rapidly expanding fields of research and development worldwide. It would not be long before scientists, science educators, engineers, and policy makers began advocating for nanoscience, engineering, and technology (NSET) related concepts to be introduced in K-12 classrooms. Indeed, there has been a surge in the development of pre-college NSET-related education programs over the last decade, as well as millions in funding to support the creation of these programs. In an effort to characterize the state of research to date on pre-college students' and teachers' learning of NSET content knowledge and related practices, we have conducted a systematic review of the peer-reviewed, published research studies to answer the following questions: What NSET content knowledge and practices in a pre-college context have been examined in empirical learning studies? What do these studies tell us about the NSET content knowledge and practices that pre-college students and teachers are learning? Implications and recommendations for future research are also discussed.

“…Thus the first part of my work provides insight into the complex interplay of different theoretical aspects that informed the design, the structure and the implementation of the INQUIRE project. 'Cultural psychology design based research' in particular is grounded in Vigotskian socio-cultural theory and cultural historical activity theory and focuses on the transformation of mediated action and the cultivation of sustainable learning communities that persist over a longer period of time (Bell, 2004).…”
